What's With Republicans?
If Representative Don Young isn't embarrassment enough to the GOP, those who suck up to him surely must be. Aren't they? I wonder sometimes:
Hogs of a Feather
The Wall Street Journal

Since his GOP presidential campaign ended, Mike Huckabee has been busy with personal appearances, TV guest spots and setting up his own political action committee, known as Huck PAC. But the donations that his PAC has chosen to make are now drawing some fire. For example, Mr. Huckabee is endorsing pork barreling Rep. Don Young of Alaska, who is facing a GOP primary challenge next month from conservative Lt. Governor Sean Parnell.

Mr. Huckabee lauds Rep. Young, an original backer of the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere," as one of the few in Congress "who fully recognized the direct link between infrastructure and job creation and economic development." In other words, Mr. Huckabee considers money hijacked from taxpayers and used to fund Congressional earmarks to be an engine of economic growth. (link)
Huckabee and Young. May both enjoy a long retirement.
