Apparently Ernest "all your tax return are mine" Istook is having a lot of fun in the House these days.
He decided to cut the Amtrak earmarks from an appropriations bill, earmarks which were there to benefit Northeastern Republicans, generally the more RINO type like Boehlert and Simmons, but also Melissa Hart (Rick Santorum in drag), and about 15 others.
One of them, John McHugh (R-NY) got so upset that they nearly got into a fistfight right there! Nice to see that the party of Jesus has our future safely in hand...
