Kick 'em like Dogs

I didn't think I could get more outraged today. But then I read this:

It makes no sense to spend billions of dollars to rebuild a city that's seven feet under sea level, House Speaker Dennis Hastert said of federal assistance for hurricane-devastated New Orleans.

"It looks like a lot of that place could be bulldozed," the Illinois Republican said in an interview Wednesday with the Daily Herald of Arlington Heights, Ill.

Hastert, in a transcript supplied by the newspaper, said there was no question that the people of New Orleans would rebuild their city, but noted that federal insurance and other federal aid was involved. "We ought to take a second look at it. But you know we build Los Angeles and San Francisco on top of earthquake fissures and they rebuild too. Stubbornness."

I'm sure that's exactly what the victims want to hear today from the Speaker of the House. These are vile creatures; mere shadows of human beings. The Republican Administration is unfit to govern. Impeach the whole lot of them. Then try their asses for crimes against humanity.
