Rookie U.S. Rep. Allen West delivered a stinging indictment of his colleagues in a letter to constituents in which he rails about House members' "ignorance, belligerence, and dishonest rhetoric." Without naming names, but clearly implying that he was including President Barack Obama, the Florida Republican also decried Washington's interference with Wisconsin's budget turmoil. The text of the letter to residents of Florida's 22nd District:
"Over this past week I have watched and listened to members of the House of Representatives from across the aisle.
"I am appalled at their ignorance, belligerence, and dishonest rhetoric filled with empty emotional platitudes.
