Damn.


Several speakers at the Republican gathering took time to mock their Democratic opponents.

"I know we could have thousands (here) if we just had a memorial service," said U.S. House Majority Whip Tom DeLay of Sugar Land.

The comment drew hoots from those who recognized DeLay's reference to the funeral of U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., which critics contend resembled a Democratic political pep rally with 20,000 attendees.


For those who found something to criticize about the tribute to Paul Wellstone (always fun to piss on a dead guy's family and friends ), that's something you can embrace, cheer, and roll around in, to the disgust the rest of us.
