Overheard in Washington, D.C.:

John Boehner

"Fuck 'em. We do not give one tiny shit who goes hungry. Why should WE, the GOP, care about that? OUR plates are full. And besides that, some of those people only PRETEND to be hungry. Kids, especially, are good at pretending, you know."

Speaker of the House John Boehner, whose personal fortune is estimated at between $1.7 and $5.5 million, speaking after the House Agriculture Committee cut 3 percent from the program that helps 1 out of every 7 people in American buy enough food to survive.
