GOP porkers won't back away from trough

The Washington Times, part of the vast right-wing conspiracy, reports:

The top House Democrat [Nancy Pelosi] said yesterday she would give up some specific transportation projects in her San Francisco district to help pay for Hurricane Katrina, but Majority Leader Tom DeLay said he doesn't think cutting projects in his district is a good idea.

"The highway bill is an important part of building our economy," Mr. DeLay said. "You cannot have a strong economy unless you have a strong infrastructure."

That's DeLay, rhymes with Pay to Play.

Meanwhile, Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) told a reporter to "Kiss my ear!" when asked whether he would return the $223 million he “earmarked” for a bridge so that residents of Ketchikan won’t have to pay $6 to ride a ferry to get to the airport.

Could you make a silk purse out of Don Young's ear?

Citizens Against Government Waste named Young and DeLay as C0-Porkers of the Month.
