Here’s Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Tex.) holding forth recently on how “today we have two Vietnams, side by side, north and south, exchanging and working.” Wait, what?
Could she be talking about North and South Korea? No, not even remotely. Conservative blogs, meanwhile, are having a field day with this clip, as well as with comments she made at the NAACP’s recent conference likening tea partiers to Klan members:
All those who wore sheets a long time ago have now lifted them off and started wearing, uh, clothing, uh, with a name, say, I am part of the tea party. Don’t you be fooled. Those who used to wear sheets are now being able to walk down the aisle and speak as a patriot because you will not speak loudly about the lack of integrity of this movement.
