On the Fact that Former New York Congressman, Joe Addabbo, Was a Military Dove by Most Standards (Not a Knock as I Consider Myself One, too) and Yet When it Came to Bringing the Pork Back to His Own District He Had No Problem Pushing for the A-10 Subsonic Attack Plane to Be Made at the Grumman Plant a Stone's Throw from Queens

Of course I wouldn't mind that much if he was just fighting for his district to get a piece of the action but here's the rub. This was an aircraft that the military didn't even want anymore as they had turned their attention to the F-16s, an airplane that WASN'T being manufactured near Queens. You want to know how the sausage is made? Kinda' like this, I guess.
