Pat Leahy Appreciation Thread In Response To Freeper Attack [View All]

Freepers have a nasty thread going about my Senator. Leahy has been speaking out loudly about the pathetic bushco response to the tragedy in S.E. Asia and he's been pointedly drawing comparisons to the obscene amount of money we've been spending in Iraq. He said "We spend $35 million in Iraq before breakfast."

OK, I admit it. I'm an unabashed fan of Senator Leahy. He's championed causes that are important to me, such as the eradication of landmines. He's a great guy, and he's been speaking out against the Iraq war since before its inception. His suggestion that we should take money from the unspent Iraq reconstruction fund of $18 billion and allocate it to tsunami disaster is a great one. So screw you, freepers; I only wish we had more Senators with the Integrity and dedication of Leahy. He's representative of real compassion, not the conservative version that offers nothing but cant.
