Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Dumbass Quote of the Week #2:

From former House speaker Dennis Hastert:

Basically, a big part of that (stimulus package) went for extending unemployment. It's a nice thing to do, but when you extend unemployment, you take the incentive away from people to go out and get a job. So it almost has a counter negative effect.

Right. Because all those unemployed people are just sitting around eating bon bons. They just don't want to find a job in this booming economy. What an asshole.

And an asshole from the supposedly "American Christian" party at that. Sickens me how people act as though they never read a word written by Him yet claim to "read it every day".
