From today's
Salon
This is an interesting quote from everybody's favourite charitable cockroach-killah, the allegedly ethically challenged Tom Delay; in the Salon cover story on right-wing dissent against BushCo's war.
"You know, if Houston, Texas, was held to the same standard as Iraq is held to, nobody'd go to Houston, because all this reporting coming out of the local press in Houston is violence, murders, robberies, deaths on the highways," the Texan told reporters. "And if you took that as the image of what is a great city that has an incredible quality of life and an incredible economy, it's amazing to me. Go to Iraq. And see what's actually happening there." DeLay proceeded to insist, "Everybody that comes from Iraq is amazed at the difference of what they see on the ground and what they see on the television set."
Just how disingenuous and supercillious does the Republican party have to get before they go too far with the voters?
And can any Kossacks from the Houston urban conurbation enlighten me as to the last time your electricity went off for six months in-one-go, and you had to wait in line at a pump for clean water?
