Working in Washington is hard work but according to the story attached working for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee is impossible. Jackson-Lee is accused of giving her staffers profane nicknames and also reserving some of her more horrific behavior for her black staffers. The story I reference is from the Daily Caller, a conservative website. Our elected officials are supposedly there to serve us, but who really oversees their behavior. What recourse does a staffer have other than to quit? Sadly, they really don’t because as Jackson-Lee says she is the queen and no one can cross the queen and keep their job.

How is Sheila Jackson-Lee’s obnoxious diva antics any different than perhaps the dirt (which I believe is true) about the real Sarah Palin behind the scenes that one of her ex-aides is spilling the beans on.
Please provide a link to the Palin aide’s article, so that we may render an opinion.
Excellent point. She might be over the top but i doubt if it is a picnic working for any of them on the Hill.
The congresswoman is difficult to be around whether you are employed by her or simply crossing paths with her. As a native Houstonian (though thankfully not from her district) friends and I have had the misfortune of being in her presence and she is just as bad as the staffers are claiming. While I was not called a stupid mother-effer, the megalomaniac should be de-throned. I supposed it is simply easier to laugh at her most days, I usually start here… http://youtu.be/aC3sYWTsZw0
