Congresswoman Jackson Lee Ask NFL To Put Ownership Standards In Place

[caucajun1]

she hates rush because he's white!

[bullonay]

Yeah, people tune to the Miss America Contest to LISTEN to it... you just can't fix stupid...

[CTrane88]

How can so many people be so dumb and stubborn their entire lives?

[Agent1W]

They be hatin' on the Maha Rushie...

[35freedom]

I live in her district, and I know a lot of people that are going to vote her out of office next year. It's going to be a long year.

[ths0002]

I pray every day that people like her trip an fall as they walk to work every day..

[fba73]

waste of time, watching this ignorant obama robot

[toscanology]

If we had standards for congress, we wouldn't have to listen to this drivel.

[S1l3ntStr1k3]

k, this bitch is condemning a man in a non-government issue. Why isnt she doing her fucking job. this is an direct attack on limbaugh by the democrats in public office

[LongHuII]

There's about 12 different groups bidding for owning this football team that had won the super bowl. I find it very seriously illegal that they exposed who the bidders were. It could cause someone to bid more for the team then they had previously bided or make someone lose their bid. Its was an unfair &illegal bidding process. The NFL commissioner making comments about bidders seems to be tremendously inappropriate. You dont know his personal political views &who he supported during elections

[nelson6500]

Well fuck there's 5 minutes of my life I just wasted

[CrimeReport]

Who put this baboon in a suit?

[devastationinc]

She dont know Rush.

[ecjrei]

ARE KIDDING ME!!??!! She is going to talk about decisiveness??? What is her party and our president doing? Have you ever seen the republicans and the dem's more divided than they are now??? Also, I'll bet you would never see Rush go in front of congress and belittle an American citizen for trying to buy something!! He would actually have respect for the position!!!!

[jonspooner]

This woman needs to shut her mouth. She shouldn't be using her position to comment on a NFL investor.

[sonofaglitch2]

This is total mythological U.S. history. Quoting Krugman......goddamn, I can only shake my head at all this nonsense.

Time to start clearing out the House of Representatives.

[aqualeah]

This woman has never listened to a decibel from Limbaugh's mouth ever. Ever ever.

How is the NFL and MA contest relevant to her constituents....oh, yes, that's right: democrats don't work for their constituents!

[hanz2lk]

Blah... Blahhh... blah, blah!, BLAHHHHHH BLAHHHHHHH

Sheila Jackson Lee = Rush Limbaugh

NFL = $ $ $ $ $ $

[KMAObama]

This bitch is the real racist. Shes about as smart as an empty beer can.

[tallpaul2002]

isnt this the same idiot that decided to talk on her cell phone at her own town hall meeting instead of listening to or answering a question a cancer survivor asked about health care?

what the heck does football have to do with your job clown?

[themorsefile]

What a complete joke of a representative. Hmm . . . with all the takeovers of private industry by this government . . . GNFL, anyone? Every team will be forced to meet a quota of minority players at each position . . . I can see it now!

[LongHuII]

themoresefile if that's the case then they'll have to quota white guys.

[crowtservo]

I thought that woman in California, Carrie Prejean lost points because of her political beliefs. I'm pretty sure that Miss Lee didn't get up and say it's wrong to attack her for her political beliefs. Also, Al Franken tried to buy an NFL team, would she get up and say he's too divisive and hateful? Not freaking likely.

[ruinedart]

You know what, she's right. The NFL really isn't any of her business. But I am impressed she referenced some 'poor girl being asked for her opinion' in the Ms. America contest, what w/that whole Perez thing. Did she make a speech about that too? Or is Perez's opinion of more valid & acceptable than Rush's opinion?

[cjs19771234]

2:20

[endo1ver]

You can discount anything Sheila Jackson Lee says, She is a idiot.

[rayyocum]

Did she say "jobs created by the stimulus"? Unemployment 9.7%! She would have to stand on her mother's shoulders to kiss Rush's ass! He has more integrity in his pinky than she has in her entire body! Yak yak yak she needs to shut her ignorant BIG mouth! She has NOTHING to say!!!

[TheNewVideo]

Rush Limbaugh for president 2012

[TheNomadicMonad]

Rush Limbaugh for the gallows 2009.

[TheNewVideo]

Jackson Lee to the gallows, Rush Limbaugh for president and as Obama is leader of the media except for FOX of course. They already have it right.

[Armigerous]

Q. What's the difference between Congressgirl Sheila's racist pussy and a bus station toilet?

A. The bus station

[bchloupek]

Did she say that the WPA put men coming back from WWII to work? If that is what she actually meant...then she is an imbecile.

[TheodoresWorld]

What a POS she is and always has been. She is a TOTAL racist! And stupid as well.

[UDT2USN]

So she is saying that Rush "may" do what Perez Hilton did?

[DeOnlySkyKing]

Obviously history is a strong suit too.

[realistsoul]

More demagogic race baiting, as usual.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Who voted this racist piece of garbage into office?!?!?!

This imbecile, a few years ago, got her panties in a wad because there were no African-American names given to hurricanes....... what a blithering idiot!!!

[bonsallamo]

hurricane Barackisha

[st4ticblu3]

She's a Rep for an inner city area of Houston. One of the few Dems in Texas. She was the arrogant one that was on the cellphone while a woman was asking her a question at a town hall meeting. She will be replaced by a republican in 2010.

[muhammadsholypenis]

She is a racist stupid shithead.

I can not hardly believe there are people in this country that would "choose" someone that stupid the represent them.

Sheila Jackson Lee is everyone in District 18 Houston.

[klim8hokes]

Since when, in this free country, do we allow anyone else to determine what a private citizen legally purchases with their own capital?

How are we NOT marching towards Socialism?

[SHMUJEW]

FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM FUCK OBAMA BIN LADEN FuCK HIM

[walrus417]

Why is this important to Congress?  Why the heck does she even care who owns a stupid football team.

I bet if the prospective owner was Al Sharpton (probably even more divisive) she would not say a word about it. What a loon

[imaginepeace63]

Most of the St Louis Rams Players are black. Thaat is why she is speaking about this.

[phnixlady]

always overdressed. haha

[hockeyscar]

shut the hell up sheila bitch

[HolmWrecker]

She is the biggest piece of crap in DC.

She constantly just makes stuff up and just flat out lies constantly. The truth is often painful.

People like her are going to drive us into an armed revolution. If so, we shall prevail and they shall lose EVERYTHING.

[Ovedya2006]

Good LOOORD. This woman is a freaking MORON! Who elected her?

[camntx]

She is such an embarrassment to Houstonians! Done in the spirit of "When man landed on Mars" & "We need to name hurricanes with African-American names" ~ a waste of protoplasm! But then again we must remember she's an attorney, she doesn't need to know what she's talking about...

[RodgersRevolution]

What the hell is this toon talking about? She should stick to insurance. This is not your place to dictate sports. Moron.

[elle31106]

You said it yourself Sheila, 'this is not a government issue", so stop wasting our time with your personal opinion while on the floor.

[phnixlady]

aaaaamen.

[savior02]

since when should the american government dictate what businesses people can or cant buy? wtf! shove it sister!!!!!

[shmergo]

Now if her cell phone would have rang in the middle of her rant, would she have answered it?

[phnixlady]

lolol

[chazz60]

OK Sheila.

Let's list every owner and player of the NFL, NBA, and don't forget baseball--and detail their backgrounds including criminal, sex pervsion, dope/drugs, political activity and so on.

Then we can all compare--who's who and what's what.

[prayfortruejustice]

WTH??? Is this, (or much of anything Congress are focused on), any business of Congress or the House? Where in the Constitution is this specific topic covered, giving Congress authorization to waste your time and effort on?

Close Congress for 3 months and watch how things repair themselves. Washington is clueless and helpless. They have access to the FED printing press keys and the backing of the baning/military complex -- these are keeping them in power.

[yobuttstanky]

And there you have it!! Shelia Jackson Lee, racism at its finest!! Mrs Lee, your district in H-town has more problems than you care to imagine... Worry about that ignorance...leave the dollars and cents to the intelligent among us.

[Armigerous]

Congressgirl Sheila needs to clean the shit out of her racist pussy

[HowTheWorldWorks]

Maybe she can get out the cell phone. What an idiot.

[julianhpike]

Bottom line congresswoman, the NFL, a private company can decide on it's own whether or not to let Rush purchase part of the Rams. It's none of your damn business, now, get back to work. In case you haven't noticed we got bigger fish to fry.

[moretap]

Let's hope she doesn't get back to work and stays distracted. The country doesn't need her kind of "work."

[moretap]

Rush would surpass any standards and criteria the NFL could muster up. Sheila needs to stop the hatred.

[julianhpike]

The big dollar comment; that is why everyone is in the NFL.

[dnnylee]

Congress Women Jackson your living proof of our TAX Dollars being wasted, How can you ignore questions while on the cell phone at a town hall meeting. Then waste time about the NFL and who should or shouldn't own a team. Economic emergency as stated by you, and wall street given our money, for there pockets. Do you consider the magnitude of how important your job is in Congress and what really matters as you waste OUR money N time commenting about the NFL. I need a job so do many more of U.S

[didytom]

Her district is made up of idiots just like her. That is how she was elected.

Does she even know what her job is????

[fido5150]

didytom,

Well Bush spent 1/3 of his Presidency on vacation... did HE know what HIS job was?

Doesn't appear that he did.

And you're right, Texas is full of idiots... thank god we finally sent the 'head idiot' back to them.

[didytom]

Who cares about Bush? Do you need a time machine? You sound like B-HO talking about the previous administration.

[Lookfishlamp]

LOL, wow what an important issue to discuss on the house floor while we have a record deficit and unemployment

and losing a war! NFL bidding? WOW!!

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

hahaha. they are trying to stop rush limbaugh from buying a nfl team? this is hilarious.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

Fucking black people. They focus on the stupidest shit!!!

NFL is not a goddamn Federal program. Sheila Jackson is fucking retard.

Get a life!!!

Who gives a shit what the asshole Rush Limbaugh does. I DON'T CARE!!!!

[jsjs525]

I'm Not a fan of Rush but..

May I suggest that Texas vote someone else in the next election, someone that can focus on the real issues, instead of their entertainment concern that a team they watch isn't owned by someone with right leanings..

Is a subject like this really that important that it has to be brought to the floor of Congress???

"Looking at values that are not political" while trying to block someone that has a political leaning other than her own.... does that really make sense...

[fido5150]

jsjs525,

This has nothing to do with 'right leanings', but racist comments.

Now if Al Franken or Michael Moore decided they wanted to buy the Detroit Lions or Minnesota Vikings, how much shit do you think those with 'right leanings' would stir up?  And they're not even HALF as controversial as the Oxycontin Blowhard.

And government talks about 'normal' issues all the time... if you can stomach the boredom, try watching C-SPAN for a while, and you'll be amazed at the subjects they cover.

[Salford999Red]

Fail argument. I dont care if the NFL decide not to let Rush own a team. Its their problem.

Its ridiculous that this is being discussed in the congress. Its NOT the congress' job to decide who can own an NFL team.

The diminishing dollar? the deficit? healthcare? cap and tax? afghanistan? iraq? iran? north korea? pakistan? education...?? No! Lets talk about NFL.

what a complete freaking waste of my money.

rediculous.

[jsjs525]

well said Salford!!

my thoughts exactly....

[jsjs525]

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not a fan of racism, or of Rush Limbaugh.... I watch C-Span, MSNBC, FOX, TheRealNews...however it is an issue for the NFL to deal with, and whether or not he's made racist comments (I don't listen to his show) that is for him to explain and him to deal with. Only he can properly explain his viewpoint on the issue, as the Right and Left have a habit of construing what a person in opposition to their view has said... Why should congress interfere based on his leanings?

[mojdfiv]

This is our government hard at work, sticking their nose where it doesn't belong.  The NFL can look out for itself.

[Cocalighto]

Would she say the same thing if for example Bill Ayres, Keith Olbermann or Reverend Wright would want to buy the Rams? I bet not. Typical double standards.

[RESET1776]

I wish everyone she was talking to would have been on their cell phones as she gave this speech. Just the same way she did to the people at her town hall meeting.

[marzutraII]

She really has nothing more important to talk about?

[HoFoShAo]

I thought this was America. Rush can do what he wants.

SJL = Tool

[ancientkiki]

congressman should make 1 dollar a year as well as senators they live in a stressless life

[Squirelbutt]

Its not about the dollar..:::???WHAT ask that to all the players.

[ordellrobbie]

number one: if she got elected that means congress doesn't have standards so why should the nfl, number 2: is she getting rush mixed up with perez hilton, number three: isn't it racist to not allow a private citizen to own a private business, number four: wouldn't rush be creating jobs. #5 i'm going back 2 watching porn this makes my head hurt

[fido5150]

ordellrobbie,

So... not allowing a private citizen to own a private business is racism?

Ah, so now I can see why you wingnuts claim that nothing's racist, because your definition of racism has nothing to do with what racism actually is.

And how is buying an already-formed NFL team 'creating jobs'?

And yeah, it's hard to mix porn and politics... ;)

[cheeseaura]

Waste of time.

[whoo689]

Ook... Why is this any business of Congress? God, these jackasses from both parties just CAN'T stay out of anything, can they? Always gotta find some new pet cause to champion. It makes me sick! Fucking self-serving career politicians.

I'd rather Rush not buy my home team, but why should Congress 2 shits?? This is a PRIVATE SECTOR matter. Not everyone cares about sports, Ms. Lee, so fuck off. I don't really care in the long run.

[cheeseaura]

True.

[sx200ser]

Sheila Jackson Lee vote another democrat but her. sorry. I'm not paying these mofo's on either side for this shit. don't switch topics, wtf does the NFL have to do with the federal government. express personal opinion off the house floor

[Organjic]

Rush has every right to own a team. This was disgusting. A disgrace to the power in congress.

[tinylittlegnat2]

And the NFL has every right to tell his money and business is not welcome. You wouldnt want an outspoken Klan member to own a team and she wouldnt want someone who has told someone to "take the bone out of your nose and call me back" to own a team.

[Salford999Red]
