What a lazy, shiftless bum. Worthless piece of subhuman detritus.

It is impossible to stay unemployed in NYC.

This guy is one of the reasons they need to bring in illegals to do the clean-up work in New Orleans.

[allen08gop]

Yep. Mayor Nagen's kind of guy.

[WKB]

Can you give this guy a hand?

[martin_fierro]

Halle . . . Berry.

Yep. Mayor Nagen's kind of guy.


Yep,
“I spent my money just the way I wanted, and I think [fema] should send me some more,” he says.

FEMA sent him $9,000 in housing aid, but he spent it all on booze, cigarettes, some clothes, and food—partying, mostly. “I spent my money just the way I wanted, and I think [fema] should send me some more,” he says. But it won’t. Johnson’s caseworker says FEMA offered to buy him a ticket home to New Orleans in February, but he didn’t take it. FEMA won’t now.

I call these the human leeches as pets.

Somewhere, somehow, the concept that I have to support him as his "right" got created, and is not likely to ever go away...

A whole industry of other leeches depend on it; these think that they have real jobs, distributing the money earned by normal taxpayers...

Your tax dollars helping rebuild the
Mississippi Gulf Coast Ping.

"What a lazy, shiftless bum. Worthless piece of subhuman detritus."

Now just a minute...this guy may be able to prevent the next nuclear plant meltdown...if he can take his eyes off Halle Berry long enough to give the plant managers the right advice. After all..he's been staying at Holiday Inn expressly.

Nice picture of a proud Democrat.

And Americans continue to vote for them to keep doing it.

No good deed ever goes unpunished.

I emailed a link to this article to Neal Boortz this AM. He's on a roll! LOL

One of the funniest bits to come out of the Katrina disaster was the live interview on FNC when a guy just like this guy, started demanding mo' money because FEMA had cut off the debit cards. The guy and his white teenaged GF were stoned beyond belief, and I could not believe what I was hearing...until he dropped several F bombs on live TV! Really, it was hilarious!

"They shut my F card down, man, they need to give me even more man, F this S...I want MY money.." The GF was so out of it she just leaned up against this leech and stared into the camera. For me, that one interview defined Katrina.
What a bunch of soaking wet loooooosers!!

[liberty or death]

This guy reminds me of the father of a now professional basketball player. We worked together at fed-ex in the 80's and he was so lazy he would do absolutly nothing. His favorite thing to say was I'm gonna get me a government job where I don't hafta do sh!t. Guy was 6'4 and stronger than all of us in the shop.

He did get that job with the State of AK and without the hardworking Mom the son never would have been the man he is now. God bless her.

[geezerwheezer]

Hey, give the guy a break!! Theon Johnson isn't a bum or a leech, he is just a poor, misunderstood, abused, and homeless man who needs a hand to help him recover all that is lost in his life....what do you mean $9,000 and he wants more...he has lived there in a hotel how long?...he did what?....the hotel is going to "buy" him out?...hey, put that lazy, good-for-nothing @#$%^&*&^&*$#$%^ P.O.S. out on his no good @$%#@%%^&%^&%^&#$%#$% and ship him back to Nagintown and park his butt on the mayor's doorstep!!

[DancesWithBolsheviks]

Surely FEMA or whoever could have thought of a cheaper place in this great wide open country to relocate him to than a NYC airport hotel!!!
Surely any person could find more to do in 10 months or however long in a new exciting city than just sit on their azzes and watch TV 24/7.
Surely there must be more duct tape around here to wrap my head in.

[LizardQueen]

They should throw this guy out of one of the hotel windows.

What a waste of oxygen he is.
