Pay no attention to the people behind the curtain

For the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot files:

F. Jim Sensenbrenner was one of only eleven House members to F. hurricane Katrina survivors.

The story of the bill and the vote can be found at CNN and other places; F. Jim has no word of explanation on his congressional or campaign websites. I can't wait to hear his next town hall meeting, when his constituents try to get a straight answer out of him.

Bryan Kennedy--Sensenbrenner's 2004 (and likely 2006) opponent--released a statement today that, I think, adequately sums up the outrage we should be feeling:
KENNEDY STUNNED BY SENSENBRENNER’S VOTE AGAINST GULF COAST SURVIVORS

Democratic Congressional candidate Bryan Kennedy questioned the reasoning for Congressman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr.’s vote against the victims and survivors of the Gulf Coast tragedy. (Roll Call Vote #460) Congressman Sensenbrenner was one of only 11 members of Congress to oppose aid to the victims of the disaster. “I don’t know what he [Sensenbrenner] was thinking,” Kennedy said.
I don't know if he even was thinking.
