In an about face, House Speaker Boehner promises quick action on $60 billion in Hurricane Sandy aid
The best part, from the middle of the article:
" “He saw me and in a smiling way he said we are friends,” he said. “I told him, ‘You have no idea what it is like for me. I have Al D'Amato in my district.”
D’Amato is a former New York senator and sometime thorn in King’s side.
“His daughter and son-in-law have been driven out of their homes and his 98-year-old mother is living in a broken down home right now,” King said he told Boehner. “He is threatening to bring busloads from Island Park to demonstrate. Al is ranting like a mad man.”
King said Boehner was sympathetic."

heh, the idea of old D'Amato ranting at current repugs makes me smile... I do feel bad for D'Amato's mother but I am loving the repugs even coming out of retirement to eat their own
