DeLay Mocks Work-Shirking Kerry
We weren't the only ones to note the hilarious hypocrisy when Sen. John Kerry, who refuses to take himself off the taxpayers' dole even though he has missed more than three-fourths of the votes this year, called yesterday for President Bush to convene a special session of Congress.
"That's pretty tough talk from a guy who has fewer days at work this year than he has houses," stated House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. "He's not been around here during our regular session; what makes anyone think he'll be here for a special session?"
Nor were we the only ones to think that in the unlikely event Kerry would show his face at work if a session were called, America would be better off without his rare appearance.
In the 1980s and '90s, "He voted 38 times to cut defense spending, against higher pay for our troops, and proposed a $45 billion cut in intelligence spending," noted DeLay, R-Texas. "Maybe we're better off when he's vacationing than actually working after all."
Is it too early for the Massachusetts Democrat to flip-flop on his claim during his convention speech that he wanted voters to judge him on his record?
