Sheila Jackson Lee in the Muslim Hearings: YouTube Hit

The U.S. House's bizarre hearings on Muslims (sorry, "radical" Muslims) included a noteworthy speech by Rep. Keith Ellison, the only Muslim member of Congress, who teared up while remembering a Muslim first responder who died on 9/11.

And then there was Sheila Jackson Lee. Love her or hate her, she was pure SJL today.

The clip is quickly making the rounds of the Internet. The real fun comes around the five-minute mark.
