Experts: Sekula-Gibbs hurt her chances for '08 | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

WASHINGTON ? Six days ago, Shelley Sekula-Gibbs stood on the House floor, basking in the applause of colleagues who welcomed the 109th Congress' newest ? and final ? member.

Refusing to be hemmed in by a term that spans only a few weeks, the Houston Republican vowed to accomplish much: help cut taxes, fix a broken immigration system and battle terrorism.

But in less than a week, her star has been badly tarnished by an odd series of actions, and she's been lampooned on Web sites, talk radio and in gossip column.

Those pesky Republicans out of Texas.:eek: That has to be the craziest seat in the house.:cool:

@tumbleweed cv,
She might be the victim of office workers used to doing little work since they had no one to work for since DeLay resigned .
It shouldn't be such a big story since there are plenty of people in Washington to fill the jobs they walked out of .
She is a true "lame duck" in that seat . Only her detractors will remember this when/if she runs for the seat next time .

@Drnaline,
If I confuse anyone that isn't my intention.

Republicans don't need any bad press or an online attack.Bloggers are making a difference in elections. Gibbs is a good example.

She is in a hot seat yelling someone deleted records. Those records are Delay fallout. Looks like it could be a mess.
