Just a little video for your entertainment, here's a video of Shelia Jackson Lee getting booed in at a Texas Senatorial District Convention for the Houston area.
Here district went 90% Obama. She's a national co-chair of the Clinton campaign.
Local TV station KHOU described it thusly:
Raw video of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee's speech at a local Democratic senatorial district convention in Houston Saturday in which she was booed by the crowd, many of whom are in her district. Her speech was interrupted a couple of times as the crowd voiced its displeasure with her backing Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama.
and had their own video
It's got better sound and video, but doesn't capture the chaos quite as well.
TPM Cafe has an entry about it:
his can't be excellent news for Sheila Jackson Lee. At her district's convention today she was booed and interrupted continuously by the same people who have been re-electing her. Why? Her support of Hillary Clinton in a district where he received 90% of the vote. This could be bad news for her when she comes up for re-election. This has to have shaken her. At one point she said
"What would I be
if I went back on my word to an individual that I've worked with for
more than a decade and sat down talked to me about her vision for
America," said Jackson Lee.
What would she be if her constituents held her accountable for not acting in regard to their wishes? She might find out.
Video of the end of her being booed is here.
Passed on with a little schaudenfraud.
UPDATE: Look folks, Lee will be alright. When Obama's the nominee, she'll work her ass off for him. And, yeah, I have a little empathy for her, but these are the voices of democracy in action. She's a tough old time Dem who's been through a lot, she'll survive and do fine.
