Don Young vs. Jeff Flake and Marilyn Musgrave
This is a great article. Here's an excerpt: bq. An enraged Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) confronted Reps. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Marilyn Musgrave (R-Colo.) last week, excoriating them for lampooning his notorious "Bridge to Nowhere" as a multibillion-dollar boondoggle. bq. The chairman of the Transportation Committee had caught wind that the $223 million bridge was indeed going nowhere -- and most House members learned yesterday that the project, which has caused Republicans acute embarrassment for two months, is being killed. So is another span, the $229 million "Don Young Way." bq. According to witnesses, Young warned Flake and Musgrave that he planned to stay in Congress a long time and would not forget the stinging defeat. [emphasis added] Three cheers for Flake and Musgrave for standing strong against the porker from Alaska. Both Flake and Musgrave were elected with Club member support in 2000 and 2002, respectively.
