Ladies and Gentlemen of the Blogosphere...

Today, Congressman Ted Poe (R-Tx) made the following statement according to a commenter at D.U.



Essentially the statement was, "Gulf evacuees given emergency aid debit cards are using them at topless joints to buy admission and "emergency" lap dances!"

First of all, I'm pretty sure that Ted Poe doesn't know his ass from a hole-in-the-ground. But I have no doubt that this is motivated by bigotry on the basis of race or class, or possibly both.

Second, Mr. Poe, who is paid with our tax dollars has surely used this income in some frivolity, including, quite possibly, exotic purposes.

Let us see what we can find, shall we?
