We pretty much already knew this, but let's let laughing boy himself set this up (courtesy of
this post at This Modern World):
Tom DeLay:
"You know, if Houston, Texas, was held to the same standard as Iraq is held to, nobody'd go to Houston, because all this reporting coming out of the local press in Houston is violence, murders, robberies, deaths on the highways," DeLay said.
"And if you took that as the image of what is a great city that has an incredible quality of life and an incredible economy, it's amazing to me. Go to Iraq. And see what's actually happening there."
"Everybody that comes from Iraq is amazed at the difference of what they see on the ground and what they see on the television set."
That might well be a valid criticism there, Tom. How about we hear from an actual Iraqi who would be amazed at the difference between what they see and your delusional yammerings.
Genties and ladlemen, I give you Iraqi blogger
