Sheila Jackson Lee is dead

CNN writes her hagiography.

Unlike 99% of the congress critters out there, SJL is one of the congress critters I have actually met in person.

She was as racist and stupid as she seemed. It wasn’t a matter of the cameras making her appear that dumb, She really was that dumb. I hate to say that. I don’t want to speak ill of the dead. But if you were to ask me of any positive attribute that I recognized when I spent just a brief moment of time around her, it would be that she actually believed what she said. Not that what she said was right, just that she believed it.

God help me, the only reaction I have right now is relief.
