Sheila Jackson Lee Cries Over Obama Impeachment Talk: We Never Tried To Impeach Bush! (Even Though She Did)
August 1, 2014 by Ben Bullard
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) spoke passionately on the House floor Wednesday against any talk of impeaching President Barack Obama, arguing that Democrats never tried to impeach Republican President George W. Bush when he went to war with Iraq under false pretenses. One small problem with her claim: Lee co-sponsored the Bush impeachment bill in 2008.
Leaving aside the possibility that Democrats are driving impeachment talk, in order to gin up midterm fundraising panic, far more than their Republican opponents these days, Jackson Lee took Republicans to task over a House vote on whether to move forward with a lawsuit against Obama:
I ask my colleagues to oppose this resolution, for it is in fact a veiled attempt at impeachment, and it undermines the law that allows a President to do his job. A historical fact: that President [George W.] Bush pushed this Nation into a war that had little to do with apprehending terrorists. We did not seek an impeachment of President Bush, because as an executive, he had his authority. President Obama has the authority
Well, heres the Library of Congress bill summary page for H.R. 1258, Congressman Dennis Kucinichs (D-Ohio) impeachment bill that died in committee in June of 2008. Titled Impeaching George W. Bush, President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors, H.R. 1258 not only is an impeachment bill its an impeachment bill Jackson Lee herself co-sponsored, along with ten other Congressmen.
A Jackon Lee spokesman later tried to clarify her remarks, tersely telling Yahoo News Thursday, without elaborating, that she misspoke.
Despite Democratic protests on the House floor, however, wrote Yahoo News Chris Moody, [Democratic] party lawmakers seem downright gleeful about the exercise after fundraising successfully from the lawsuit and talk of impeachment.
In March, you might recall, Jackson Lee took to the House floor to celebrate our 400 year-old Constitution.

"She-Jack" strikes again! That ignorant woman is so damned stupid that she's actually funny to watch! (In addition to being "terminally ugly"! )
She sure isn't much of an endorsement for having a college education either; I heard that when she went to Yale that she had the worst grades in the entire history of the school, but by the time she had been there for 4 years, the Profs all got together and decider to pass her, just to get rid of her! (There were actually faculty members threatening to quit if she returned for another year; another Prof predicted that, "yes, she's dumber than a box of rocks and will probably end up in Congress!" ) Another typical dimoCRAP!
