Politicians are busy people. You don't know what she was on the phone about. Could have been her sick kid or something.

The congresswoman did turn to the woman and listen when the woman started to ask the question instead of spewing rhetoric.

Here's an excerpt from the only non-Fox News source covering this incident:

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/sle...t_16.html#more
Jackson Lee explained she was on her cell phone during Tuesday's town hall meeting because she had called the House health care hotline seeking answers to a number of questions about particular elements of the health care bill moving through Congress.



"I had been on the cell phone getting a series of questions answered," Jackson Lee said. "I don't know why [Republicans think] it's so challenging. I happen to be able to think, listen and maybe even talk at the same time."

Yes I know thats from a blog, but really this incident is only a big deal to Republibots. Rep Jackson Lee is doing another town hall tonight and over a dozen in the next couple of weeks. Many congressmen aren't doing town halls AT ALL.

And whats more, this lady was NOT one of Rep. Jackson Lee's constituents. For those of you who don't know, Rep Jackson Lee represents the 5th Ward of Houston. She got 77% of the vote at her last election.
