It's Bad Behavior Friday™! -- hypenated edition

Shelley Sekula-Gibbs, the unfortunately hyphenated American whose name voters in Tom DeLay's district were supposed to write in, lost the general election to Nick Lampson but, at the same time, won a "special election" to fill out the rest of DeLay's term. In the five days of this week, she managed to piss off DeLay's old staff so badly they all quit, leading the temporary congresswoman to demand an investigation!

Best: She has "ambitious goals for her seven week tenure... that include reforming immigration and cutting taxes." Good luck with that!

More bad behavior as the day goes on. I'm busy.
