    A better man than I am

    I was really impressed by this story.

    An excerpt:

    The Texas home of Waco Rep. Chet Edwards sat unused much of the time. It doesn't now. He has turned it over to a family that fled Hurricane Katrina.

    "I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing we had a vacant home in Waco, where there were children of evacuees," said Mr. Edwards, an eight-term Democrat whose wife, Lea Ann, suggested loaning out their three-bedroom house since they and their two kids spend the school year in Washington.

    For Johnnie Marchand, the generosity in the face of her loss is remarkable.


    Wow. That's really generous. I don't think I would just give up my home to perfect strangers. I'm truly impressed.

    Call me naive, but I don't think this is your average politician's stunt to get votes or publicity. I don't see DeLay doing anything like this... in fact, I don't see him doing anything at all.
