My husband and I are fans of the old British comedy series Blackadder, starring Rowan Atkinson. And some of the most memorable lines were the insults Edmund Blackadder flung at his halfwit servant Baldrick.
But there’s a member of Congress who reminds me of Baldrick. Who’s that? you may be asking.
Why, none other than Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, of course.
On Tuesday night, Ms. Jackson Lee — that paragon of intellect — wanted to congratulate Doug Jones on his win over Roy Moore in the Alabama senate race. So she tweeted this:
Yes, you read correctly. She congratulated Doug Moore. Of course she deleted the tweet, but. . . Too late! The internet is forever.
Then on Wednesday she appeared during the Congressional hearing concerning Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and promptly wasted two of the five minutes she had available to address Rosenstein. What was so important? Why, she had to make sure that the three women who are now accusing President Trump of sexual harassment can report it to the FBI.
I’m not kidding. Behold the genius of Sheila Jackson Lee, and a very befuddled Rosenstein:
So what in the wide, wide world of sports does Ms. Jackson Lee think she’s going to accomplish? To get President Trump impeached? The grounds for impeachment, according to the Constitution, must involve “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Furthermore, the Founders envisioned “high crimes” as offenses against the state, such as treason or bribery.
However, Sheila Jackson Lee must be hoping that these women might have enough goods on Trump to bring him down. Stuff like “kissing on the lips,” or groping on a plane — both of which are probably well past any state’s statute of limitations.
And the third accuser? While she was a Miss USA contestant, Trump looked at her in a bathrobe backstage like she was a ‘piece of meat.’
Oooh! Must. Clutch. Pearls.
Is this the stuff that Sheila “Braintrust” Jackson Lee thinks will get Trump thrown from office? Oh, stop already!
I don’t know if Jackson Lee has a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, or whether the braids around her head are too tight. But if she’s one of the stars of the Democratic Party, then maybe 2018 won’t be so bad after all.
Sorry Kim, but like shooting fish in a barrel. Entertaining nonetheless ;>}
A sad part of this: people in her district keep electing this person to the House, time after time. The dinosaur media will not report any of this, so to most citizens, it just does not exist. When I tell people about things like this, their eyes glaze over as if I am making this up. Surely, someone cannot be that stupid.

This. Again and again, ^this^. For so many.
At least Lee doesn’t think Guam will tip over if you put more people on it……..
“At least Lee doesn’t think Guam will tip over if you put more people on it……..”

I wouldn’t bet the farm on that. We ain’t exactly talkin’ about a member of Mensa here.
Just like Ma kept reelecting Ted Kennedy.
I’m convinced the reason is they’d rather have her stay in DC than be in Tx, just like Ma was safer if Ted was in DC.
I never tire of pointing out that Rep. Hank Johnson, the one who was concerned about Guam’s stability, was elected because he was smarter and more stable than his predecessor, Cynthia McKinney.
“Surely, someone cannot be that stupid.” Why, yes, yes they can.
Her district was carefully gerrymandered by Democrats to produce that result.
It wouldn’t matter if the media did report it. Most of her constituents don’t even understand that it’s wrong, much less how ridiculous it is.
Oh, c’mon. Ms. Lee’s performance at that panel was only ONE act in The Cavalcade of Comedy.
We are blessed with so many officials in DC who work so hard to make rocks look smart.
Plato warned that one of the dangers of democracy is that idiots could become rulers.
I always liked the bit from when she asked the NASA officials if they would drive the Mars rovers over to see the American flags that the Apollo astronauts left there. Hmmmm….
Her husband is a doozy too.
I used to live in her district. Lived there when she won the special election to replace Micky Leland. (The Congressman who died in a plane crash so that they named a terminal at the airport after him.) If you spent any time there, you would have no doubt how she keeps getting re-elected.
But the really big question is: is she going to keep that same black hair weave as she continues to gray? Even when she goes completely gray?
Every time I hear some new lunacy from Jackson Lee I’m reminded that her initial campaign for the House was largely funded by Ken Lay of Enron. The stench of that connection has made me hold my nose in desperation each time she opens that sewer under her nose.
Doesn’t Congress get dental coverage? Is her lower front tooth rotten, or did she just finish her lunch? And about that hair-mat on her head, does that sucker go in the wash or is it dry-clean only? A little personal grooming goes a long way is all I’m saying.
The Blackadder season set in WWI was the best.
