District 22 reps settle in on the Hill
Shelley Sekula-Gibbs was sworn in as a congresswoman on Monday night and already she’s a lame duck. Because of a weird electoral quirk, her brief term in office expires next month. But you couldn’t tell that by listening to her….”I’m working hard to accomplish the things I’m working for,” she said yesterday. “For tax cuts. For immigration reform. To make sure we have a good solution for the war in Iraq.”
Shelley Sekula-Gibbs blew into Washington promising to get things done…and damnit, if she has to break some eggs to make an omelette, then it appears she’ll do just that.
This all seems like a shining example of the power of self-delusion, doesn’t it? Sekula-Gibbs won’t be in Congress long enough to figure out where the ladies rooms are. Yet she’s determined to be “working hard to accomplish the things I’m working for”, which apparently included pissing off and scaring away Tom DeLay’s old staff. Ah, well…in a few weeks she’ll be wistfully remembered as “that crazy b—-h from Houston”. No one will be able to recall what she accomplished, but they’ll remember her for working overtime to be taken seriously instead of being looked at as just a “pretend” Congresswoman…which is exactly what she is and will be remembered as. Then again, I suppose “Congresswoman” will look great on the ol’ curriculum vitae, eh??
14:59…14:58…14:57…. Yep, if Sekula-Gibbs is acting like a hamster on an exercise wheel, it’s because she knows the clock is running. Let’s hope it runs out before she manages to make a complete ass of herself.
14:56…14:55…14:54….
