Lynn Woolsey (D) Caught on Tape Doing The Crossword in The House

Video embedded below.



"This truly is one of those “gotcha” moments that will leave people shaking their heads in dismay, and disapproval. Democrat Lynn Woolsey, who reportedly earns $174,000 a year serving her constituents in the U.S. House of Representatives, can be seen below in the following C-SPAN clip, doing a crossword puzzle on the House floor while fellow California Democrat George Miller spoke addressed the topic of union rights on Wednesday.

Rather than pay attention to the day’s proceedings, Woolsey must have thought it more productive to test her vocabulary and spelling skills. Although she is slated to retire next year, it seems a sign of disrespect to her constituents to have spent her working hours on a frivolous game."
