Yesterday, I told you about the Democrat fish fry, and today I went.
The event was sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, known affectionately around here as Queen Sheila. And she looked the part in a purple suit with a shawl draped regally around her majestic shoulders:
Her Majesty addresses her subjects.
After the royal proclamation, it was time for some tasty grub: fried catfish, white bread and hot sauce. There was also a vanilla-chocolate swirl cake, a nice metaphor for the racial integration that was decidedly absent.
I think the Dems’ fundraising might be a bit short, though, because they were running dangerously low on catfish by the time I got through the line:
I wasn’t the only white bread at this fish fry.
DJ Smooth was spinning the jams, which delighted the fat white guy in the David Van Os t-shirt across from me. The guy was rocking out to “Play that Funky Music.” You can’t make this stuff up. Dance was provided by the men of TSU’s Omega Psi Phi Fraternity:
Throwin’ it up for Queen Sheila.
The best part was meeting some of America’s finest statesmen. I was fortunate enough to be granted a short audience with the Queen:
She really can’t resist a camera.
AND I even got to shake the hand of Rep. Al Green:
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to stay long enough for the free bus ride to the polls. But a good time was had by all.
Special thanks to LST’s Third Ward bureau chief, who tipped us off about the event.

Matt
Good show! You da man.
A word of advice, Matt….”Give up your day job…the life and career of a roving reporter beckons you!”
OMGosh! I wish I could have gone just to get the picture with Queen Shelia!
You will have to put that up on your wall!
(Nice touch with the Notre Dame hat.)
Who duh man. Matt’s the man.
/End gratuitous suck up
Glad to see you made it out alive, Matt.
You and Sheila look like cardboard cutouts in your picture together, and Al Green resembles Saddam Hussein just after emerging from his hidey hole so I know the whole thing must have been quite an experience.
Still the funniest thing I have seen all day.
Thanks for the grin!
Great job scoring that picture of you and Queen Sheila!
Don’t know what happen to my previous post but my comment was that it goes to show you that there is no camera that Queen Sheila wouldn’t put her ugly face in front of. Matt, did you tell her you were from LST or some liberal rag to get her to pose with you??? Also, did you tell her the truth before you left and after you got some free food???
Shower time Matt!
Hmmmmm….first time my post didn’t show up. I’ll try again…….
Shower time Matt!
I have my “Top Ten” list of captions for the Matt and Queen Sheila picture:
1) Matt interviewing for a maid.
2) Queen Sheila, not noticing Matt, but seeing a camera.
3) Queen Sheila wondering what this white boy was doing here, much less being in front of her camera.
4) Matt telling Queen Sheila—”Bill Clinton sent me”.
5) Matt telling Queen Sheila—”I’m with the Houston Chronicle covering this event”.
6) Queen Sheila trying to get fresh with a white boy.
7) Queen Sheila just glad Jesse is not around to hog up the camera.
9) Matt telling the waitress to bring more fried fish.
10) Queen Sheila trying to pick Matt’s pocket for a tip.
I hope you enjoy these.
Man, what people will do for some catfish.
Did they have pickles and onions? Can’t eat fried catfish without them or fries and beer. Anyone ever heard of the Peach Orchard in Terell, Okla.? They have the best fried fish and trimming I ever ate. Bit greasy, but, that’s what makes it good.
Matt, what’s with all the sideway’s Hitler salutes in the pic above the one of you and Queen Sheila?
Matt will go anywhere for free food. Remember his cafeteria lunches? Somebody needs to buy Matt a new camera or send him to a photog class. Benzion, you listening?
Matt, at least you were brave enough to smile in the pictures with Queen Sheila and Al Green. You looked as though you really had a good time!
Big45, That “sideways Hitler salutes” are actually from a fraternity. If I remember it right, I think it is called “Q-Dog” I remember seeing that when I was in High School.
I gotta get some sleep. I coulda swore that it said “Hillary Ensues”.
Good for Matt! Wonder if they had free beer there? Don’t think Matt would ever “pass a bar” unlike Ryan Patrick! hee hee
Way to go Matt!
I have some questions:
Was the health department there?
Was the food stored at proper temperatures?
Were the servers wearing hats and gloves?
Was the catfish USDA inspected?
No hushpuppies? Gotta have hushpuppies!
I hear if you rub her majesty’s belly real fast, her leg goes all crazy…
Did she have one of her minions cutting her food for her and opening sugar packets?
Matt - Too funny!
Too cool, Matt.
Glad y’all enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun. I’m gonna have to do stuff like this more often.
Next time Cindy Sheehan has a book signing with free Taco Bell and Natty Light, I’ll be all over it.
matt, I hear Helen Thomas had a book signing the other day…..=D
My question is, what did they do with the grease afterwards?
Matt, daaahling…you’ll be all over what? Cindy Sheehan? I think you could do waaay better than her!/ducks and hauls butt!
Matt, have you met that Hassan (?) that is running against Queenie?
Saw him on channel 2 program, seems like a good guy, and good on issues!
