Republican congresswoman hangs up on Obama. Twice!
Is Ileana Ros-Lehtinen a little paranoid?

Maybe.

On Wednesday, the Republican congresswoman got a call from President-elect Barack Obama, didn't believe it was him, and hung up on him. Twice.

According to Ros-Lehtinen's flack Alex Cruz, the congresswoman received the call on her cell phone from a Chicago-based number and an aide informed her that Obama wanted to speak to her. When Obama introduced himself, Ros-Lehtinen cut him off and said, "I'm sorry but I think this is a joke from one of the South Florida radio stations known for these pranks." Then she hung up.

1. At least she learned to not be as stupid as Sarah What's-her-name...
Or at least not in the same way.

2. The Congresswoman is a little uptight
The Republicans must really be feeling the pressure now that they are virtually irrelevant.
