Constitution is 400 years old
All these years of having the date wrong I gotta hit the books. 
http://freebeacon.com/sheila-jackson...400-years-old/
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) declared the U.S. Constitution to be 400 years old Wednesday on the House floor, which would mean it was signed in 1614.

If dates are an issue, surly her fashion sense calls into question her overall decision process, which appears, at least on the surface, ego based, grandiose, and challenged.

Sheila Jackson-Lee, a living, breathing indictment of the public school system.

I think she's more an indictment of her own latent stupidity than any particular school system - but based upon the 'workings' (cue laughter) of Congress in recent memory, perhaps the EPA needs to check the water and air quality in the Capitol - there seems to be a 'dumb@$$' epidemic occurring in there that definitely makes one go, "WTF?"
MOO.

Constitution is 400 years old, she's been quoted as saying that in all 57 states.

Can we please chip in and buy her a ticket to Guam before it flips over? Maybe her and Hank can travel together. Just sending her back to Houston doesn't work since that city has it's share of village idiots already. ( They keep electing her  )

If you remember, last summer, the Congressional Black Caucus was touting her for Secretary of Homeland Security. Shelia Jackson Lee, Fredrica Wilson (FL Cowboy Hat Congresswoman), and Maxine Waters are three peas in a pod. Why don't they do us all a favor and retire, then go on the road as a Supremes tribute act?

I just heard her say that Congress should write up a bunch of executive orders and send them over to Obama to sign. Yale? Really? I would like to read a few of her papers, there should be some interesting new 'facts' in them.

I heard a whole litany of her lunacy on the radio this afternoon, she is also the one that thought that the Mars Rover could visit the flag that the astronauts planted there, way back when. She is certifiably nuts and so are the voters who keep returning her to office.

She is also one of the most difficult people in Congress to work for, some say the absolute worst.

Maybe she is friends with Marion Barry and they shared the same pipe.

Certainly she is a self-made person. Shows you just what mediocre can accomplish if they don't try too hard.
