Multi-tasker Sheila Jackson Lee for DHS Head?

Well, of course.

So far we’ve had a doughy RINO former governor from Pennsylvania who de-terrorized Iran’s terrorist cell the People’s Mujahedin of Iran; a government lifer who gave us body-scanners so nuns and toddlers wouldn’t feel left out at airports; and a definitely not lesbian former Arizona governor who has all but stood at the Rio Grande and yelled, “Two Enchiladas in Every Pot, Aqui! Aqui! Aqui!”

Why not a proud, strong, aggressive… well, pissed off black woman?

Just two weeks after Janet Napolitano announced her resignation as Secretary of Homeland Security, the Congressional Black Caucus has suggested Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston fill her spot.



A letter dated July 25 and signed by Rep. Marcia Fudge, Ohio Democrat and caucus chairwoman, urges President Obama to consider Miss Jackson Lee for the position, calling the Democrat a “voice of reason” that the agency could stand to gain, the Houston Chronicle reported.

If she can figure out where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planted the flag on Mars, she can surely find Juarez. It’s south, you know.

Boy, the Chinese will be sorry… once someone explains what a database and hacking and … anyway they’ll be sorry.

Okay she’s not brilliant, all right!

As for Rep. Jackson Lee’s social skills? Well, she’s a strong black woman getting even for 300 years of white tyranny. By yelling, stomping her feet and being rude to her white constituents. And so forth.

So I think it’s a fit.
