Well, in proof that the world is upside down, liberal Democrat Nancy Pelosi stepped up to the plate and suggested that the $70 million allotted to the San Francisco area in the latest Transportation Appropriations Bill, could be, instead, rerouted for recovery efforts. In response, Republican Tom Delay was less than stellar, suggesting that reprioritizing discretional spending was a good idea, but "not transportation money" (Delay's district is set to get $64.4 billion in transportation funds).

Good piece:
This is one of the most telling passages you will read:
House Majority Leader's district -- $64.4 billion
House Minority Leader's district -- $70 million
Of course, there's room for a lot more highways in TX than in SF, but you get the picture.
