                             DUMPSTER DIVE

  (Mr. McDERMOTT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McDERMOTT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today out of disgust over recent 
comments by Rush Limbaugh about child hunger.
  A few days ago, I was sent Mr. Limbaugh's response to the news that 
more than 16 million children will face ``a summer of hunger'' because 
they won't have access to free or discounted meals they usually get at 
school.
  Mr. Limbaugh ultimately recommended these children dumpster dive--
dumpster dive to find food until school starts back up. In the midst of 
a deep recession that has forced millions of Americans to face the 
daily fear of losing their homes and of failing to provide food for 
their kids, all Mr. Limbaugh can contribute is another awful example of 
shameless and callous commentary.
  Ask yourselves: When is the last time that Rush Limbaugh missed a 
meal? Take a look. You judge for yourselves.
