Legally Blonde Congresswoman Hangs Up On Obama - Twice

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Republican Congresswoman from Florida, thought she was being pranked when asked to hold on the phone for President-elect Barack Obama, so she hung up on the caller - twice. Only it was Barack Obama calling for her.

When Obama finally DID get her on the line, through a trusted third party, Ros-Lehtinen replied, still seeming a little paranoid,

You are either very gracious to reach out in such a bipartisan manner or had run out of folks to call if you are truly calling me and Saturday Night Live could use a good Obama impersonator like you

You may remember Ileana Ros-Lehtinen for her batshit crazy opinion on Chinese fetus eating back in the mid-90s. She read the following into the Congressional Record.

And, we know that these practices violate every known standard of human rights since God made Man. There are reports that aborted fetuses are sold and eaten.

It wasn't true. It was racism employed in the service of pro-life propaganda.
