Proved right again. Like I said, this exploitable event was simply about aiding northeastern states in budgetary distress that had previously mothballed certain projects and other luxuries. Never let a crisis go to waste.

As he chomped on an apple, Pallone explained to The Daily Beast: “When we were trying to get the money for Sandy, part of the opposition that was coming from the Western and Southern states was that they claimed the money would go down a rat hole and be mismanaged.”

Pallone said it was embarrassing “that it actually happened” like those Republicans said it would. “I have to go back to the very people who said ‘I didn’t want to vote for this because it wasn’t going to be managed properly’ now that they’ve been proven right.” Pallone took a bite of his apple. “It’s very sad.”

The road to recovery after Hurricane Sandy has been bumpy from the beginning.

What do Chris Christie and Peter King have to say now?

Let it not be said that Randal doesn't have an instinct for how to pick the right fights. Even inside the party.
