Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee
...U.S. Representative-for-life for Texas's 18th congressional district, serving since 1995. The district includes most of inner-city Houston. She noted for her lack of tact and intellect. She is a member of the Democratic Party, and almost its epitome...
(D., Texas) declared the U.S. Constitution to be 400 years old Wednesday on the House floor, which would mean it was signed in 1614.

"Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the distinguished members of the majority, the Republicans, my chairman and others, for giving us an opportunity to have a deliberative constitutional discussion that reinforces the sanctity of this nation and how well it is that we have lasted some 400 years, operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not," she said.

That would be seven years after Jamestown, Virginia became America's first permanent English settlement.

Lee is off by only 173 years. It was adopted on Sep. 17, 1787.

#15 Dumber than a box of rocks. There is no litmus test for being in Congress--other than securing enough votes one way or another.

#22 Good lord, I miss Houston.

So you've spotted the shy Sheilamander,
She who puts the "me" into "meander."
The stupid, it burns us,
But in the House furnace,
Flames just make her outfits look grander!
