In all the excitement of the Republican takeover of the House, this news item has been overlooked. Just when you thought the Congressional Black Caucus had its full quota of lunatics, along comes newly-elected Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson.
Yahoo.com has the details:
… Wilson’s first goal is to overturn a rule that blocks her from wearing a hat on the House floor. The freshman Democrat is pressing incoming House Speaker John Boehner to overturn the rule, which dates back to the 1800s, or at least to make an exception for her. But it’s unclear whether Boehner — who, in any event, will likely have plenty of priorities ahead of a rule-change request from a member of the opposition party — could do anything, shy of a full floor vote, to overturn the House’s hat ban.
You see, Wilson doesn’t own just a hat or two. By her count, the former Florida state House member owns at least 300 different hats, including custom-made sequined cowboy hats in virtually every color of the rainbow. Her hat collection is so massive, it takes up an entire room of her house, per the Miami New Times. “I’ve been wearing them almost 30 years,” Wilson tells Politifact. “It’s like a fetish.”
Nice to see that Wilson has her priorities straight and that her first order of business will be taking care of her fetish.
Wilson will undoubtedly be warmly welcomed to the CBC by fellow lunatics Jesse Jackson Jr, Sanford Bishop, Keith Ellison, Chaka Fattah, Alcee Hastings, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Hank Johnson, Barbara Lee, Sheila Jackson Lee, John Lewis, Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters.
She ought to fit right in.

So... her first order of business is to make sure she can wear her flamboyant hats...??!? Riiight! Don't know who is more pathetic this lady or those that voted for her...
I agree that they should change the rule. Just for her. Then keep the cameras on her all the time. The world should see what kind of idiots the Democrats elect, and the kind of people that populate the Black Caucus. Let them speak, and show themselves for the fools that they are.
One of my favorite quotes ---- Nonsense is nonsense , even to GOD !!!
"...Her hat collection is so massive, it takes up an entire room of her house, per the Miami New Times."
No word on how many tin foil hats she possesses.
Frederica Wilson as America's answer to Imelda Marcos. She'll be comfortable as a member of the CBC which has more than its share of cads, dolts, thieves and loons. I can already hear the charges of racism in the House as Ms. Wilson is forced to doff her stetson.
maybe they can create a job for congressional hat checker, no doubt a six figure salary plus benifits!!!!!!
Yep, just like with Apple, "There's a czar for that."
Hats hell, I think they should allow canes, knives and pistols!
I think they should allow dueling. That should cut down on the number of gun control asshats in office.
Make no mistake, there is no cowboy in Earth that would wear a hat like that. That is the definitive asshat.
How about the late Heath Ledger or Jake Gyllenhal?
Cowboy hats?
Do they even have cowboys in Florida?
Let her do it but only on the condition that MLKs and Frederick Douglas's bodies can be dug up and attached to an electrical generator. Why waste the energy from the spinning corpses?
