Overheard in Congress:

Peter King

"We are going to give Oklahoma all the aid it needs following those tornadoes. Those folks are hurting and need the help of the federal government. I have a good memory, though, and I am caustically vindictive. I will thoroughly fuck with everyone who held up the aid to New York and New Jersey at an appropriate time, probably when no one expects it."

Rep. Peter King (R-New York), who has rarely been on the side of the underdog. He is not anyone's idea of a nice person, but King has taken his fellow GOP'ers to task, first for not supporting disaster relief for his state following Superstorm Sandy, and then for their coming to New York for political fundraisers after voting against the aid. Much of the Oklahoma House delegation and both Oklahoma senators voted against the aid for New York and New Jersey.
