Delay: Kick the have-nots while they're down

What a poor choice of words when people are suffering at the gas pumps.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House Republican Leader Tom DeLay said on Tuesday there was no support for rolling back the federal gasoline tax to offset higher
prices.

"Absolutely not," he told reporters after a meeting with President George W. Bush on issues related to Hurricane Katrina.

"Now more than ever you're going to need ... that infrastructure, those highway trust funds, to rebuild the bridges that were destroyed, rebuild the railroads that were destroyed. You have to have the infrastructure or you can't have a recovery," DeLay said.

Makes you wonder what these two creeps talked about... permanent tax cuts for the rich... axing the estate tax... how to fix the reputation of a president from his despicable treatment of the people of New Orleans... inovative ideas on screwing the have-nots... new ways to smear the critics. God forbid they make a sacrifice.

On another note, I have been posting about the New Orleans disaster because my wife's family is from New Orleans and they are PISSED at our president and the federal government. Trust me, the people from New Orleans are not blaming the Mayor but the poor federal response.

I am so damn happy the reporters at today's White House Press Briefing are finally giving the president what he deserves. They let him skate on the whole Iraq invasion disaster, glide on with the torture bullshit and grew some balls with the Rove Plame-gate affair. But finally because the press is so pissed from the continuous lies and the gross incompetence of the administration, they are now asking some of the toughest questions this administration may be able to handle. The press now understands that the Rovian use of talking points and ridiculous photo ops is a game to fool them and the rest of the world. Most of us never bought this load of crap but finally the media, except for Fox News, isn't buying it either.
