We've all heard GOP House Speaker Hastert talk about whether NOLA should be rebuilt and I see Barbara Bush's "let them eat cake" moment has made the Yahoo! Most Popular list (way to go Bab's!) but what list would be complete without Ricky-boy "Man-Dog" Santorum chiming in? Ahh, I am so looking forward to 2006 because this guy just can't make it through a week without stepping in pooh. Please take the floor, Ricky-boy!
In a weekend interview with WTAE-TV about the victims of Hurricane Katrina, Santorum said: "You have people who don't heed those warnings and then put people at risk as a result of not heeding those warnings. There may be a need to look at tougher penalties on those who decide to ride it out and understand that there are consequences to not leaving."Hoo-ha! Point blank, right in the big juicy pile of pooh. OK, sure, Mr Man-Dog is now backpedaling and trying to get out of it but just what scenes from NOLA was Ricky-boy watching? Is he still believing the classic GOP/compassion line that says every poor person has a big fancy car thanks to government handouts? Does the GOP always have to live off of tired old stereotypes? Why is he focusing on a very small percentage of the people who may have been able to get out but stayed instead of the overwhelming majority who did not have the ability to leave? Nice compassion there folks.
