Calling Them Rats is an Insult...to Rats

Believe it or not, eleven GOP sleazebags representatives voted AGAINST the $51 billion dollar aid package for those affected by the storm.

And, of course, Tom DeLay is barking up a storm (I almost typed "strom" by a writers-mistake equivalent of a Freudian slip) about how wonderful the disaster response was. Easy for him to say.

Here's the list of, um, less-than-rats:

Rep. Joe Barton - TX
Jeff Flake - AZ
Virginia Foxx - NC
Scott Garrett - NJ
John Hostettler - IN
Steve King - IA
Butch Otter - ID
Ron Paul - TX
James Sensenbrenner - WI
Tom Tancredo - CO
Lynn Westmoreland - GA

Something tells me they're far more generous with our tax dollars when the issue is...Iraq.
