The first thing which came to my mind after having read this article was the famous Star Trek line, quoted by Abraham Lincoln in the episode “The Savage Curtain“…but why give the other side more ammo than they already have?
Anyway, let’s see what this charming…autocrat…has to offer:
See the lady on the right? One could caption her reaction SO easily!
A lot of politicians give nicknames to their aides. George W. Bush famously referred to his attorney general, Alberto Gonzalez, as “Fredo.” Mitch Daniels, then head of the Office of Management and Budget, was known as “The Blade.” Barack Obama reportedly called Larry Summers, his chief economic advisor, “Dr. Kevorkian.” [Now why does that NOT surprise me? – Ed.]
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas also hands out nicknames to the people who work for her. The Houston Democrat addressed one of her employees as “you stupid motherfucker.” And not just once, but “constantly,” recalls the staffer, “like, all the time.”
…
Yet another staffer remembers requesting a meeting early on in her tenure to ask how best to serve the congresswoman. Jackson Lee’s response: “What? What did you say to me? Who are you, the Congresswoman? You haven’t been elected. You don’t set up meetings with me! I tell you! You know what? You are the most unprofessional person I have ever met in my life.” With that, Jackson Lee hung up the phone.
According to the same staffer, Jackson Lee “would always say, ‘What am I a prostitute? Am I your prostitute? You can’t prostitute me.’”
No, Congresswoman Lee, while that may be true, you certainly have done a fantastic job prostituting YOURSELF to Президент Оба́ма and the Demo☭rats!
