Is it possible that Istook is doing the right thing by reigning in gov't spending? Or is that an argument that you just don't get too excited about?

Sure, if he cut the pork-barrel spending in EVERY congressional district, he would be doing the right thing.
But, this seems to be about retribution against other Republicans, rather than smaller government. Otherwise, why target only these districts?
