Tom DeLay is one classy guy

Here’s Tom DeLay’s classy response to Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to appoint Democrats to a Republican-dominated Katrina commission:

When aides to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) attacked Pelosi’s response to the investigative commission, they illustrated it with an e-mailed photo of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury intersection, associated with the hippies of the 1960s.

Because nothing says ’60s liberal like opposing a partisan inquiry into one of the worst disasters in American history!
