A report on the Houston Chronicle blog claims that House Majority Leader Tom DeLay asked Hurricane Katrina evacuees if their current situation was "kind of fun."

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.

1. Wow

He and Barbara Bush must go in the same social circles - the haves and have mores.
He came from humble beginnings, didn't he? You'd think he'd know better.

2. The Repugs are showing their true colors this week...

every time one of them opens his or her mouth.

3. What an idiot!

Send that clown to the same summer camp and make him stay there! And give him a wedgie.

[Wordie]

4. There should be some sort of DU award for the most out-of-touch comment

of the day, month, year. This would definitely be a contender.

5. Go fuck yourself, Mr. DeLay. Go fuck yourself, you asshole.

6. Drop DeLay into NOLA

with a little fish-tank net. He can be picked up after he captures all of the alligators swimming around the city. :grr:

7. Delay is either

hopelessly out of touch with reality

or frighteningly mentally ill

if he thinks the past week and a half have been "fun" for anyone.

8. I am getting sicker by the minute

This is surreal.

9. "Boys?" Did he actually say that? Racist pig. n/t

[rocktivity]

10. Well, it's okay if they really WERE boys

But I kind of suspect he would have asked the same question of black adults.

13. "stopped to chat with three young boys resting on cots."

uh, why is that racist?

Sure, if they were adults, but according to the story, they weren't.

11. I think we have enough this week for a "Top 20 Conservative Idiots" --

maybe even "Top 25".

18. I'd enjoy it! eom

[MaineDem]

15. Now I've heard everything!

What an insensitive clod!

Oh...and stupid, too!

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Oh I am sure he will be topped

on the bright side they are exposing their true selves

[Demobrat]

17. Somebody needs to drown him in a toilet.

And then ask him how much fun it is.
