Republican asshole of the day.

Darrell Issa (W-CA):
The California congressman who called the Sept. 11 attacks "simply" a plane crash ran for cover Wednesday under a barrage of ridicule from fellow Republicans, first responders and victims' families.

San Diego GOP Rep. Darrell Issa was under siege for suggesting the federal government had already done enough to help New York cope with "a fire" that "simply was an aircraft" hitting the World Trade Center.

Keep in mind -- this is exactly the kind of frame these wingnuts use on everything -- Katrina, the housing crisis, you name it. Buck up, suck it up -- and get off the gubmint teat you wimps. So the outrage by fellow wingnuts like Peter King strikes me as more than a bit amusing.
