Wonkette asked for answers to a blind item on what congressman was such a nightmare to work for that they had to fly up district staff to man the office. Surprisingly, KBH wasn't in the guesses but Sheila Jackson Lee sure made the cut.
I would have said Sheila Jackson Lee, except for the references to sophomore member and the fact that you used the male pronoun. She is also a total nightmare though. I have a friend who went from intern to scheduler in a month in that office, because their press secretary, chief of staff, and entire leg staff quit.
We've heard there are a few openings here in Austin, so anonymously tell us some of your favorite 'working for a nightmare' stories. We love this kind of shit.

Betty Brown once leaned over to ask a lobbyist: "Whats tort reform?"
Imagine trying to glue that that train wreck together before a public appearance.
Molly Beth Malcolm is far and away the most difficult person in Texas to work with. I was the person on the ground for a state rep race that she did consultant work for after her days as the knowledge-less leader in the Texas Democratic Party. Her condescending manner, inability to understand people, and not least of all that VOICE… oh god, that loud whiney voice was so bad that I literally broke my mouse as I grasped it one day when she called. She had complete control over that campaign, with no one to reign her in (the candidate, now a state rep, was so inexperienced and impressionable that he wouldn’t question her thought process), that it made those four months the worst of my life.
