Steve Palazzo (R-MS)
Randy Weber (R-TX)

The hypocrisy is revolting. I hope their districts don't get a dime from any natural disasters that befall them in the coming years.

You want 1.4 million to suffer because of 2 people? Sad

Yes I do. These people didn't seize their congressional seats in a coup. Their constituents voted for them. Steve Palazzo's district in particular deserves to get it good and hard - how much money did they get after Katrina? And we all know Mississippi gets far more federal dollars than in pays in taxes. Let the Tea Partiers who elected Mr. Palazzo be reminded that in the grand scheme of things, they are the moochers and takers they love to rail against.
The first and most obvious point is, if you live in a Hurricane prone area (which by the way I do; in fact my house had heavy roof damage from the 2005 season), you should expect hurricanes.

 As long as federal government relief is being given out, everyone deserves an equal share. I think the attitude you take in this post is what is wrong with America-the fact that you are so polarized as to wish despair on the innocent working class of Mississippi because they voted for asshole hypocrites (like EVERY other Congressional district in the country) is almost immoral. I can’t stand most of the New York delegation. I find most of the New York Democratic congressmen/women to be repugnant hypocrites. But I don’t call for the relief for them to be cut.

On an unrelated note, the East Room of the White House is amazing. If I were President, I'd move everything into that room and use the Oval Office as a lounge.
