The House Committee on the Judiciary recently reported that that committee's resident imbecile, Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat, and very vocal anti-gun advocate as well as a staunch opponent of any and all voter ID laws, took what was a little "round-the-world trip" back in February at a cost to you and me, the U.S. taxpayers, of $23,646. Her 16-22 February jaunt, which was billed as being official but, most likely was nothing of the sort, included commercial flights to Korea, Vietnam, and Cambodia.
Now, Ms. Jackson Lee, being ever the responsible public servant that we all know her to be, did not travel over or back with CODEL Landrieu that included several members of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption, whatever the Hell that is. That little delegation was scheduled to meet with local community leaders, adoption officials, and other government officials, such as the Vietnamese Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs.
You see, seeing herself as being above the common folk, Ms. Jackson Lee chose, instead, to take commercial flights over and caught up with the delegation in Seoul, South Korea. After visiting South Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia she then left the delegation early for her return commercial fight by way of Frankfurt Germany. I guess the old girl must have thought that was the shortest and most cost effective route home. The trip costs included $19,970 for transportation, $1,292 for per diem, and $2,385 for other purposes.
As far as I’m concerned this ignorant bitch ought be to forced to pay back every damn dime to we the taxpayers. We're not her personal piggybank. And I'm curious about what it was that was perceived as being of value that the presence of this moron added to this trip. Let's face it, she hasn't got brains enough to come in out of the rain. Her one saving grace, I’m willing to assume, is that her constituents must not be any brighter than she is! Ah yes, this is your government hard at work.
So apparently with all this talk of sequester there still seems to be more than enough money to send this cow around the world at our expense. And just what did we get for our investment in 23 grand and change? I'm wondering, though, did this moron actually accomplish anything that would have justified the cost of this trip? I sincerely doubt it! Let's face it, what does she do that actually makes her deserving of her pay as a member of Congress? And hooting her big fat mouth off doesn't count.
