Istook On Culberson

Friend Rob Booth points out this letter to the Comical from Oklahoma’s Ernest Istook:

Two Democratic congressmen from the Houston area have seized on this dispute over cost estimates to impugn Rep. Culberson’s effectiveness and integrity. Houstonians should see this exactly for what it is: an ill-informed, partisan attack on a respected member of Congress.
