Sheila Jackson Lee Says Civil Rights Affected Katrina

CNS News says Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee has something to say:

the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King was attacked by state troopers, beaten and jailed ... This overt violation of human and civil rights, took place live on national television in front of the entire world, as did the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. Who knows what [effect more African American] votes could have brought about in both of those instances,"

No word yet on whether Sheila Jackson Lee believes the Mayor of New Orleans was part of a giant plot to hurt African-Americans.
