Tom Tancredo sees Katrina as a gravy train for victims

Via TPM we see the extent of GOP's compassion:

GOP presidential hopeful Rep. Tom Tancredo (Colo.) said Friday it is "time the taxpayer gravy train left the New Orleans station" and urged an end to the federal aid to the region that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina two years ago. [...]

   "The mentality that people can wait around indefinitely for the federal taxpayer to solve all their worldly problems has got to come to an end," said Tancredo

Another neocon says stuff that is even worse:

Two years after Katrina, everywhere you turn, there are people carping, whining, and kvetching. Just why hasn't the pity party for the citizens of New Orleans run out of booze and chips yet? [...]

Let me tell all the citizens of New Orleans something that should have been told to them 18 months ago: it's time to stop playing the sympathy card and get over it

Swell guys, heh ? As the poet says... "Wake Me Up When September Ends"
