She’s not a doctor, but plays one at Town Hall Meetings
Leave it to some wide-eyed liberal doctor – who has been in general practice for four years – to get up at one of Rep Shelia Jackson Lee’s Town Hall Meetings and lob a softball question!
The problem is that our friends at the Patterico’s Pontifications blog did a little digging, and found out that the self-described ‘general practitioner’ has no medical degree and no medical practice.
The Lone Star Times dug deeper and revealed that, while Roxana Mayer isn’t a doctor, she certainly is a Barack Obama campaign volunteer. The Lone Star Times managed to get this confession out of Mayer:
Our own David Jennings secured a phone interview, in which Mayer admitted to impersonating a physician, saying — get this — she thought it would help her credibility. (It didn’t.)
Patterico’s Pontifications managed to get this screen capture from The Houston Chronicle’s report of the event, capturing the moment when Mayer and Rep Lee evidently find true love.
After some third-party fact checking and digging (it’s called journalism), The Houston Chronicle changed the caption and identified her as Roxana Mayer, sans “a pediatric primary care physician.”
But we already knew that
Watch in amazement as liberal Democrat warrior Sheila Jackson Lee talks on her cell phone during a town hall meeting, as a young woman tells her story of surviving cancer.
It’s really time to clean The House of these jackasses.
The company one keeps…
A closer look at the embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevic. Read the whole story at Michelle Malkin’s site.
The Democratic Culture of Corruption
by Michelle Malkin
Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi can stop clucking now. For the last three years, Democratic leaders cheered GOP ethics woes. Dean accused Republicans of making “their culture of corruption the norm.” Pelosi touted cleanliness as a liberal virtue. But with the eye-popping pay-for-play and bribery case against Democratic Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich topping a year of nationwide Democratic scandals, the corruption chickens are coming home to roost.
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald called the breadth and depth of charges against Blagojevich and his Democratic Chief of Staff John Harris “staggering.” That’s an understatement. Anything that breathed was a potential shakedown target. It’s the Chicago way. Democrat Blago’s so dirty he’d hit up a children’s hospital for money. Oh, wait. He’s accused of doing that, too.
Democrat Blago allegedly conspired to use his power to appoint President-elect Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat as a bargaining chip for financial payment. He explored trading on that authority for an appointment as Health and Human Services secretary or as an ambassador or for installment in a cushy union position. (He discussed his trading scheme with an unnamed “SEIU (Service Employees International Union) official” and unnamed “various consultants” in Washington.)
According to the criminal complaint released yesterday, he also tried to leverage his influence over the sale of Wrigley Field (owned by Tribune media company) in an attempt to get Chicago Tribune editorial writers who called for his impeachment fired — which illustrates the very perils of media/government entanglements I warned about in my newspaper bailout column last week. His wife, Patricia Blagojevich, was apparently in on the thuggery, too. Taking a break from her first lady duties advocating “on behalf of women and children,” she is heard in taped discussions about the Chicago Tribune/Wrigley Field deal telling a governor’s aide “to hold up that f**king Cubs sh*t. … F**k them.”
Riddle me this, Gwyneth…
Of, so if all your obnoxious looking friends in this ‘vote abroad’ commercial are in different spots all over the world (like they say they are) why is it that it looks like everyone’s clips were filmed in the same cheapass studio?
