The politics of Katrina: No more aid for you!

What do these 11 conservative Republican congressmen have in common?

• Joe Barton (Texas)
• Jeff Flake (Arizona)
• Virginia Foxx (North Carolina)
• Scott Garrett (New Jersey)
• John Hostettler (Indiana)
• Steve King (Iowa)
• Butch Otter (Idaho)
• Ron Paul (Texas)
• James Sensenbrenner (Wisconsin)
• Tom Tancredo (Colorado)
• Lynn Westmoreland (Georgia)

They all voted against the $51.8 billion relief package for Katrina victims. (The vote was 410-11 in the House, 97-0 in the Senate.) Nice.
