Search is down...can I ask a question?

Did Brownie actually ask the committee, "What did they need ice for, chill their beers and sodas?"

1. I think it was actually

keep their meat in their freezer from thawing but I am sure someone will have the exact quote.

Either way, it was just one of many idiotic things he said.

3. Here it is

BROWN: No, but I've been through disasters where I haven't had power for a long time and I know that the refrigerators go on the blink and food spoils, et cetera. But I don't think that's a federal government responsibility to provide ice to keep my hamburger meat in my freezer or refrigerator fresh.

5. Thanks

How does he look at himself in the mirror?

7. He said it about meat and he said it about beer

And I think it's wrong for the federal government to be in the ice business, providing ice so I can keep my beer and Diet Coke cool.

Here is a transcript of the whole thing if you can stomach it;

I just heard about the meat comment this morning so didn't know about the beer and coke comment. What a jackass.

2. Yes

"I think it's wrong for the federal government to be in the ice business, providing ice so I can keep my beer and Diet Coke cool."

Taylor, incredulous, asked, "How about the need to keep bodies from rotting in the sun?"
