Rep. James Oberstar, the Minnesota Democrat who chairs the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, blamed President George W. Bush's administration for shortchanging road and bridge repair in a highway funding bill two years ago.

Bush, he said, "failed to support a robust investment in surface transportation," adding the president insisted on only $2 billion a year for bridge reconstruction when lawmakers were pushing for $3 billion a year.

Hey, Congressman Dickhead, here's a fact: there are still dead bodies trapped under that bridge. Could you wait, maybe, a week before becoming a Major League asshole again? If you're not a lawyer, you should be. Democrats, he's one of yours; be proud. Very proud. Asshat.
