Angle Would Have Denied Katrina Aid

The seemingly indefatigable Jon Ralston has the details:

I have previously wondered how many Angle tapes are out there to compete with the jobs/Social Security/slush fund/Government is not God classics. I know the answer is: A lot. But I am starting to think there may be one a week (or more) floating around in the cyberspace ether, some of which Angle took off her website after the primary. (But nothing on the Internet is ever really gone, is it?)

Case in point: On today’s fifth anniversary of Katrina, a Democrat supplies a tape of Angle during her 2006 bid for Congress talking about how she would have opposed the $62 billion in relief that only 11 House members opposed (no one in the Senate voted no). The federal version of “41 to Angle,” perhaps.

What makes this revelation particularly remarkable (even though it is quite remarkable in and of itself) is that, according to Ralston, Angle actually trumpeted her anti-Katrina aid position on her website. That's right. Not only did Angle actively oppose funds going to Americans reeling from the worst hurricane in recent memory, she made this position a part of her campaign for the United States Congress. Little wonder why even two-thirds of Angle's own supporters wish they could vote for another candidate.
