Who's Sorry Now?
Thanks to Wonkette for this tidbit on the TRUE COLORS of the beloved Tom DeLay. He was acting as auctioneer and leading the bidding on a shaved beaver fur vest. Here's
Heard on the Hill quotes DeLay-as-auctioneer: “Who wants a beaver?” “Everybody likes beaver, even women” and (“as a couple of people in the crowd recall”), “The best thing about it, it’s a shaved beaver!”
At one point, as the bidding went up, DeLay pointed in the crowd to Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) as he held up the fur vest and said, “Sen. Burr, they don’t have beaver like this down in North Carolina.”
