Today's History Lesson

The United States Constitution is 400 years old.


Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat representing Texas, suggested during a recent address to congressional colleagues that the Constitution and the American system of governance has lasted about 400 years — insinuating that our guiding legal document was signed around 1614.


Is she the dumbest person in Congress?

Hard to say. The competition is pretty stiff.

Magna Carta? Nope, that doesn't work either.

She meant to say about 225 years. Easy mistake to make. 400, 225... I mix them up all the time. Give the woman a break.

She's the one who also said Neil Armstrong planted the American flag on Mars.

Sheila Jackson-Lee might be the dumbest person in congress. She might even be the dumbest person outside congress. If there were ever a global championship for idiots, the country could send her there. And leave her there; because unlike Lassie, she wouldn’t be able find her way back on her own.

:LMAO:

Jackson-Lee’s only qualification for sitting on the Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics was the space between her ears. She visited JPL and asked if the Mars Rover would be able to show “the flag the astronauts planted there before”. Staffers were reportedly surprised that she didn’t complain about cost overruns on the Death Star.

:rofllol :rofllol

In 2003, Sheila Jackson-Lee complained that hurricane names were too “lilly white” and said that “All racial groups should be represented.” She suggested Hurricanes “Keisha, Jamal and Deshawn”.

:clap: :LMAO:

Last year, Lee tried to denounce the Tea Party as racist at an NAACP meeting, but in the middle of it she forgot the word for sheets, and condemned them for wearing, “uh, clothing with a name.” Which is exactly how most of the rest of Congress refers to her.

:banghead: :rofllol

Last last year she got up on the House floor to celebrate the victory in Vietnam and the “two Vietnams, side by side, North and South.”

:LMAO:

Jackson-Lee opposed repealing Obamacare because that would violate the Fifth Amendment’s right to Due Process. An Amendment that had so little to do with the topic at hand that she might as well have picked it by throwing a dart at the Bill of Rights. In one sentence, she proved that she had never read the Bill of Rights and had no idea what Due Process even means.

:clap: :dance:

She invited Assad to speak in Texas, urged F-16 parts sales to Hugo Chavez, called for an end to economic sanctions against Saddam and participated in an event conducted by an Iranian regime front group against military action on Iran. She might be considered a walking security risk, if she actually knew anything.


There is so much more from this mental midget... so little time :LMAO:

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

For those who will jump all over the OP and subsequent posts claiming they are false fabrications made up by the GOP, the Tea Party, and/or "Right Wing Nuts." Here you go:

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford

Stupid people need representation too. Thereby we have the Democratic Party.

The silent majority will be silent no more.

Saw her this afternoon on the news and before she even opened her mouth I was saying 'oh, oh'.

How did she get elected? Doesn't she have anyone to help her get this stuff right? Maybe she likes being in the news as a dufus.

You really think an intelligent Dem would primary here by now. Make Sarah Palin look like Einstein.
