Congressional Bonehead Award
by Decius at 8:57 pm EST, Jan 11, 2004 |
check the "other news" blurb at the bottom of the page: "The Congressional bonehead award goes to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) who, on a visit to JPL, asked if Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong! Quipped Rep. Vernon Ehlers (R-MI) to the Washington Times: "We just don't teach enough science." Worse, Jackson Lee, who represents Houston, is a member of the House Science Committee's space subcommittee. Perhaps some committee reassignments are in order..." |

At one time (probably still), she kept a limo and driver (at taxpayer expense) to take her from her apartment to the Capitol BLdg.- a whole ~2 blocks away. She's a real piece of incumbent "part of the problem" work. |
