"6 and 12" for 9/10/05or"DeLay'ed Response"

While visiting Katrina evacuees at the Houston Astrodome Friday morning, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay stopped to speak with three young boys resting on cots.

With reporters watching, DeLay actually, honest-to-Santa said this to the kids:

"Now tell me the truth boys, is this kind of fun?"

Apparently not sure what else to do, the boys nodded, and DeLay moved on to his next horrible embarrassment.

So what else does DeLay consider "fun"?

6 examples:

• Starving
  

• Drowning
  

• Watching friends and relatives die
  

• Living in your own waste
  

• Losing your home and all possessions
  

• Searching for missing loved ones
  

  
  

Gee, that all sounds like a hoot to us. But perhaps- just perhaps- we're not being entirely fair to Captain Compassion- uh, I mean, Tom DeLay.

So what about outside of the context of Hurricane Katrina? Your Catchpenny is on it.

We made a few calls**, and here's what we discovered.

12 other things that Commander Givesashit enjoys:

• The WNBA

• Being stuck in an elevator with Carrot Top
  

• Doin' it with lobbyists
  

• Candy Corn

• Bette Midler
  

• The smell of burning hair
  

• According to Jim
  

• Professional wrasslin'
  

  
  

**The phone calls we made were to a phone sex line. The telehooker with whom we repeatedly spoke- a lovely young lady who goes by the pseudonym "Ann Coulter"- was surprisingly, almost creepily full of information on Mr. DeLay. So we owe a big debt of gratitude to you, Miss "Coulter."
