Let me tell you this is a hell of a matchup!

Call me naive and idealistic, but I can't see "having something to say about every goddamn bill that's on the floor" being a bad thing. Plus Virginia Foxxxxxx has too damn many xes. See ya Ginny!

V-Fox should get the W. She looks younger and quicker, and she doesn't have to take her glasses off to throw down.

I actually think Foxx wins this one. Pent up racism usually comes out in a no holds barred contest. SJL probably knows how to throw some 'bows though. I would be pulling for SJL but unless she goes batshit crazy, Foxx has an edge. As for winning Burr's seat...she was going against Vernon Robinson. Nuff said. That guy hates minorities more than Clayton Bigsby. In the last cycle, Vernon tried to compare Foxx to Hillary Clinton. It was like the Black/White Michael Jackson video where Foxx actually morphed into HRC.

jfruh, you're naive. I wouldn't paint your comment as idealistic in any way, unless your "ideals" include hearing reps drone on and on about HR. 4221. As you know, if you've spent any time in DC, most folks in the House of Representatives are mentally or at least emotionally retarded. And, even compared to the left-end of the bell-curve that is the People's House, Sheila Jackson-Lee is a pretty dim bulb. If you want to listen to her prattle on for hours on end, that's your business. But it is, for anyone who has to work on the floor or keep C-Span on in their office, a very bad thing.

I really want to see that quote employed in a real catfight... "Where is my seafood meal, bitch?!" *SLAP!*

I take back the nice comment. It was just my fondness for the kind hospitality of Winston-Salemites. You've convinced me: Virginia Foxx is a nasty, mean, old, live kitten-eating bitch who would sooner dissect a baby penguin in front of a room of children and zoologists than vote for anything that isn't sufficiently Draconian. And, she whips people. She has my vote, only because I want to see McKinney tear her to bits in round two.

Sheila Jackson Lee is a Democrat... and quite possibly the devil incarnate.

I had to admit you had me stumped... after much thought, I had to go with Virginia Foxx. why? - she's a man, baby! - the aforementioned extra xxxs -

Foxx wins by a lynching

Sheila Jackson Lee is insane, but Virginia Foxx? She's an absolute raging psychopathic bitch in bad sweaters. Foxx wins by the graying hair on her chinny chin chin. Tough matchup though.

To elaborate on my comment about Foxx (quoted above): Once, during an Ed and Workforce Committee markup at which unemployment was discussed, a Democratic Member from a Northeastern state complained about how factory workers in his district were getting laid off and faced unemployment and needed increases in funding for job-training programs rather than the cuts that the Republicans were pushing. Foxx responded by saying that if the residents of his district wanted jobs, they should "move to North Carolina." She did not seem to have any sense that this was maybe a mildly insensitive suggestion. The best part: it was Ash Wednesday 2005, and Foxx was apparently pious enough to have attended a service before the hearing and had the mark of the Cross imposed on her forehead. I imagined her thinking: "Jesus loves the tender mercies of the globalizing free market. Suck it, bitches!"

Now, I'm going to have to be honest for a second. I'm not up on all of my congresspersons. There are over 500 of them and I have a life. Thus, I have to judge by the pictures alone. Sheila Jackson looks like the tough, raised on the streets, take no crap type. HOWEVER, Viginia Foxx appears to be a man. I have to say, in a woman vs. tranny battle, I don't care how tough your childhood was. Foxx by a penis. No question.

Foxx may offend liberals, but Jackson-Lee drives her own damn staff to flee in horror. Jackson-Lee, no contest.
