Tom Delay likes Shaved Beavers

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.”
