good grief, rick sanchez on cnn parroting gop ad about sheila jackson lee.

[RepublicanElephant]

he's going on and on about her talking on the phone while some turfer is reading her script...
how insulting!

geez, you think sheila might have felt insulted standing there listening to the same ol' turfer scripted lies over and over again?

these dems have a LOT more patience than i would!!!

1. I don't know how anyone can legitmately defend her actions.

Answering a cell phone at a town hall while someone is addressing you? Sorry, that is straight up rude.

[RepublicanElephant]

4. how much courtesy do republican operatives deserve these days?

i think these guys are already getting more than giving.
not to mention all the attention and distractions.

[Binka]

12. You Would Know Rude Bance

Still here? Still stirring up shit?

[masuki bance]

13. Anything meaningful to add? nt

[Binka]

14. To You?

Get fucking real.

[masuki bance]

15. Didn't think so, glad you agree. nt

[Binka]

16. Go Play In Traffic Bance

Make sure Mommy puts your helmet on REAL tight.

[JimGinPA]

19. I Have Yet To See You Side With ANY Democrat Here, Much Less DEFEND One

Ever.

[masuki bance]

21. Tell us how you would defend this. Please. nt

[global1]

2. That's The Final Straw - We Need To Defeat Healthcare Reform Now........

because Shelia Jackson was on the phone.

[Phx_Dem]

3. I rarely agree with Sanchez, but think he's right on this one.

[Mike Daniels]

5. Sorry, but she should be called out for what she did.

It's no secret as to what these representatives should expect at the town halls.

If they don't want to deal with the circus then they shouldn't bother scheduling one.

[Hansel]

8. What she did was rude, but...

saying she took the call because she didn't want to deal with the circus is a bridge too far. She was only on the call for a matters of seconds.

There are a tremendous number of people who have no manners when it comes to cell phone usage. I don't read anything more into it than that they are just being rude.

[geek_sabre]

20. From what I read, it was a total of 3 calls

in 45 minutes.

That's unacceptable. And yes, rude.

[KingFlorez]

6. I don't blame her for not listening to that junk

No one should be encouraging these mental cases, they ought to be ignored.

[TheKentuckian]

7. Getting on the phone during a town hall you are running is dumb beyond numb

ESPECIALLY, knowing the attention they are getting. What an out of touch action that was!

I'll stretch to defend ours but to attempt wipe and dangle on this is silly. She pulled a brain dead move here.

[zbdent]

9. what would be hilarious is if the Town Hall Whiners all got the same script

and at different "Town Halls", different "dissenters" used the exact same grammatical error because the person writing the script didn't proofread it well ...

[yodermon]

10. I never thought i'd see the day that she channels Guiliani of all people

[Hangingon]

11. sheila jackson lee's action is inexcusable

[vaberella]

17. I'm not about to defend Congresswoman Jackson Lee. She sure as hell didn't help our cause. n/t

[olkaz]

18. What she did was stupid. Period.

How anybody can be defending her blows my mind. It's embarrassing.
