It's Not About Classism and Racism At All! How Dare You Even Think That.



Rep. Richard Baker (House Web site) of Baton Rouge is overheard telling lobbyists:

"We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did."

"Baker explains later he didn't intend flippancy but has long wanted to improve low-income housing." (Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire, Sept. 9, 2005 [paid sub. only])
