Shelley Sekula-Gibbs is a horrible speaker.

[acmejack]

That is being kind. I hope she was still overwhelmed by speaking in the well of the House of Representatives in company of such august personages, because she was simply awful! She was tongue tied and stumbling over her own words, she couldn't even read her speech about shooting those damned trespassing "illegal immigrants" which were invading her constituent's ranches while they were powerless to react since they would be sued for violating the civil rights of the "illegals invading their property"! Where have we heard that before?

1. Hers has to be one of the shortest political careers ever....

she sounds like a real weird-o too.

2. Who is she?

[acmejack]

4. She is the Congresswoman for Texas 22

Tom Delay's old district. A Dermatologist from Houston who lost to Nick Lampson.

5. She won the short term seat of Delays.

She lost the general elected to Lampson.

Miss Thang lives in her own little world.

3. She's just the fill-in until Lampson takes over, right?

I thought a democrat won TX-22

[ronnykmarshall]

6. You are correct madam!

[acmejack]

7. She is there for a few days courtesy of our beloved Governor

[Catherine Vincent]

8. Correct.

She is only a temp. Snicker!

[Igel]

9. There were two elections for the seat.

The regular election Lampson won; he takes office in January.

The special election Sekuka-Gibbs won; she's taken office and leaves office in January.
