for saying Automatic Budget cuts allowed the Boston Marathon attack to happen.
Dude. GO FUCK YOURSELF. Sick fuck. That's worse than making jokes about the tragedy.

I don't think that's quite what he said.

In his weekly Capitol briefing Tuesday, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer said the explosions in Boston demonstrates "why having the ability to dress security concerns is important," and thus provides more evidence that sequestration should be turned off.

Asked by a reporter whether Monday's attack makes the argument for addressing sequestration, Hoyer explained, "I think there are multiple reasons for ensuring that we invest in our security -- both domestic and international security. That we invest in the education of our children. That we invest in growing jobs in America. And don't pursue an irrational, across-the-board policy of cutting the highest priorities and the lowest priorities essentially the same percentage.... I think this is another proof of that -- if proof is needed, which I don't think frankly it is."

Hoyer added, "I doubt that [sequestration's] having any impact presently -- and the reason for that, this is a priority item and I'm sure they're shifting what resources are necessary. Even if they're shorter resources than they otherwise would've had, I'm sure they're putting all the resources necessary on this effort. Certainly at the federal level -- I think the President's made that pretty clear."
