Tom DeLay to evacuees: 'Is this kind of fun?'

DeLay to evacuees: 'Is this kind of fun?'
U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's visit to Reliant Park this morning offered him a glimpse of what it's like to be living in shelter.

While on the tour with top administration officials from Washington, including U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao and U.S. Treasury Secretary John W. Snow, DeLay stopped to chat with three young boys resting on cots.

The congressman likened their stay to being at camp and asked, "Now tell me the truth boys, is this kind of fun?"

They nodded yes, but looked perplexed.

With a group of reporters and press officers in tow, DeLay then moved on, chatting with others, including a local IRS representative. He then visited with job recruiters set up in Reliant Park.

Earlier DeLay spoke with volunteers and thanked them for their service.

"You are becoming famous all over this country and even the world," he said, adding that he's often approached by lawmakers commending Houston's response to the disaster.

1. Send DeLay to "Camp Cesspool"
permanently. He'll have a grand time, learning to swim, to fish (for corpses), and to wrestle alligators.

3. Are you serious? Did he really say this?
DeLay needs to spend about a week in a shelter if he thinks it's so much fun!!!

4. One more fucked-up quote to add to the list
of the insensitive things these bloated rich pansy-ass motherfuckers say.

Goddamn, what is wrong with these people?

I guess when the elections are rigged in your favor you don't even have to pretend anymore.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

6. Yet another
Without a clue, without a heart, and without a "think first, talk later" brain function. The nutjobs are running the asylum.

7. First Babs Bush said it's working out well for them.
Now DeLay says "Isn't this kinda fun?"

If this is a meme it has to win the record for most unbelivable meme yet.

Wheeee! The disaster that turned into a picnic!
:grr:

16. Just when you think the asshats can't possibly get smarmier
If there's anything remotely resembling justice, DeLay will be eaten by millions of cockroaches.

(There's your food chain.)

17. He has no concept of what those children have been through
No idea of the trauma they've suffered or the losses they can't begin to articulate.

He knows that nothing like that would ever happen to him, a man of means, and completely disconnects from their suffering.

18. They are monsters pure and simple
They reason he said this bullshit to children was because and ADULT would have cleaned his clock!

Long before even his Busheviks Sturmtruppen could have stopped them, they would have gotten in a few licks.
