The people who came to see me are the most important persons of the moment and will be treated with respect and courtesy. If, and it is a big IF, there IS an emergency that would require my attention, my staff and family know to text message me with 911.

I have to presume you were not schooled in courtesy as a child based on your comments here.

Too bad.
And I can see you weren't schooled in consistency. Scream all you want. The fact remains; you wrote "HER constituents are HER BOSSES - She works for the PEOPLE." If the caller was a constituent, she works for her as well. The caller is her boss. The caller deserves to be heard. Your opinion of what's rude is irrelevant.

Everybody I have the transcripts from her recorded phone call.

ATT:......

"Hey Girl,

These crazy bleep Republican's asking questions about tyranny and some madness.

For real?

Yes, now they become patriotic when their candidates lose. Hey I talk to you later.

Bye Girl!"


I had to cut thorough the red tape but I wanted to make sure my CD family reads the true comments.

First off - you are mischarcterizing my post - and this is a common thing for you to do with those you disagree with -

I'm not "screaming" whatsoever. Why must you ... "lie" as you do?

Common courtesy, something you obviously never were taught says, you do not answer a phone call - talk on the phone, when you are in a meeting - unless it is agreed to beforehand that phone calls will be taken.

Now, assuming there was no previous agreement to such, as I, and others here, have said, she was being rude.

End of story.

Have a GreatDay

Thank you for this.

If this is the case, my assertion that she was being very rude is only bolstered that much more.

Please tell me you weren't really so gullible as to believe that was a real transcript.

Maybe she was taking a call from a potential new employer. She's got to have something lined up after she leaves office after this term.

She was being fed answers as to what to say in a reply. Not enough teleprompters to go around?

"Hello Sheila, it's your constituents calling."

"Shelia Jackson, a real ding-a-ling."

"Hello Sheila, can you hear me now?"
