Rep. Gingrey Blames Soldiers For Walter Reed Squalor: 'If You Leave Food
Around You'll Get Mice'

gingrey3.jpg Yesterday at the House Armed Services Committee hearing on
veterans care, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) attempted to stand out from the rest
of Congress and argue that the conditions in Building 18 weren't that bad.
Instead of criticizing the cockroach infestation, he said, "I was glad to
know that those cockroaches were belly up. It suggested to me that at least
someone was spraying for them."

He also tried to blame the soldiers for the conditions, stating, "And, of
course, if you leave food around in a motel room or a dorm room at a
college, you're going to get some mice show up at some point in time." Watch
it:

If they will stop telling lies about Democrats,
we will stop telling the truth about them." -
