I close my eyes and Shiela Jackson Lee reminds me of Barbara Jordan.

Does anyone else get the same feeling?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

1. I do. She has cajones.....

When Sheila Jackson Lee speaks, I listen.

2. If I close my eyes

Amy Klobachar reminds me of Hillary

3. Barbara Jordan is in the room

I can feel her

4. Her voice in this thing would bring down the heavens. She was a giant! nt

5. Sheila can be amazing

My son was in middle school with her son

9. Yes. She just delivered her conclusory statement.

Powerful plain speaking.

Interesting for your son.

6. She absolutely has a certain gravitas about her - I had the TV on as I was preparing

dinner in the kitchen, and immediately took notice as she began to speak. Sounded so dignified in the midst of the caterwauling by the wingnuts!

7. Here's proof that you aren't imagining that

8. :) I close my eyes and Congressman Zoe Lofgren reminds me

of myself in a bad dream where no one pays attention to me. I'm not naked in this imagining of a dream, I just have Zoe hair, the kind that makes minimum-wage workers ignore me as I follow them around strange, spooky environments hoping they'll eventually let me purchase.

Yes, it's been a very long day, and month, for Rep. Lofgren.

But as someone who shares Hillary's (and obviously Zoe's) attitude toward hair -- but am taken for and treated like a bag lady if I don't conform, I'm still lost in admiration, and envy. Next lifetime, perhaps.

And yes, Sheila Jackson Lee does it all and manages to look nice too, but it's Zoe, who's worked on all, now 3, impeachments of modern history, whom I identify with. We're all 3 fairly similar in age, but it's the hair.
