Dems - Why did Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D) Texas take a phone call during her town hall meeting while?

one of her constituents was asking a question?

Does she not give a rats behind about the people in her district? Is she only at these meetings because Nancy Pelosi told her she had to have one?

Update:

This is the same person who went to MJ's funeral on the taxpayer $$$

    TOTAL DISRESPECT.

    She didn't show up for ANY OTHER PURPOSE than to show the "angry mobs" that no one takes them seriously.

    They should have stormed the stage and physically THROWN her from the building. THAT was the message that Washington understands.

    Don't worry.... armed revolution IS COMING. All it needs is 1 man to organize it.....

    Well, it wasn't perfect by any means but I applaud the congresswoman for trying. I mean, let's face it, no one is going to hold bogus town hall meetings like G-Dub did...I mean, seriously, that guy was the master. I'm just glad the democrats are wising up and giving it a college try though. I think she should drop the national anthem thing and just do the loyalty oaths at the beginning though...make sure the people who don't agree with her don't get to sit there at all. That's just bogus town hall meeting 101!

    Here's a link to where she staged a fake call in type of show back in 1996. I think this was planned rudeness on her part and that she will do anything to help Obama get his health care bill rammed through the system. She's a cheat and a liar.

    Felonius Monkey, I actually heard the audio of the lady asking the question, and she was not shouting. People started to shout when it was apparent that this congresswoman had no intention of actually listening to the people.

    I find it amusing that liberals keep calling the peaceful attendance of those who disagree with them as "orchestrated". Isn't the meeting itself orchestrated? Is it not orchestrated when Russ Carnahan busses in supporters to act as security and beat people who are peacefully standing outside a town hall meeting? What is orchestrated is that the congress members are trying to keep the meetings secret from anyone who may disagree with their opinions.

    Don B, does it not concern you, at all, that your elected congress members don't care at all about your opinion? I would never be so arrogant as to leave my cell phone on when I am conducting a meeting.

    "her kid was sick?" Really, is that why she was laughing?

    Why would SHE care? She's the ONLY admitted, CARD CARRYING communist in congress, as well as the ONLY member of EITHER house to vote against the war resolution after 9/11. So, ignoring her own constituents surprises you HOW?

    It was after all either her bookie or 0bama and she has other more important things to do then to listen to the people who sent her to Washington!

    Probably receiving talking points from the DNC. Such arrogance should be rewarded with getting voted out of office in 2010. It is beyond rude.

    She only cares about what her Constituents think,when they agree with her,just like Comrade 0bama.

    The woman asking the question was not in the process of singing the praises of 0bama,and 0bamacare,therefore her opinion is irrelevant.Sheila Jackson Lee's only regret is that she does not yet have the power to have dissenters drug from the Forum in chains to a Re-education Camp.

    Who knows. Maybe it was a family emergency and she had to take it.

    Here's a question for you. Why are the insurance companies bussing people into other district's town hall meetings and why are these outside agitators being so disruptive and not letting anybody else speak?

  • No, she's a BLACK, DEMOCRAT IN POWER IN TX! That is a job within itself. It must be tough for her to even get any civic participation because of biases that TX "people" are known for.
