Just The Facts, Cont'd.

Despite St. John McFibber's claim that running mate Gov. Who? has not requested pork barrel earmarks while governor of Alaska, the Wall Street Journal (!!) notes that Gov. Who? has requested $453 million in earmarks in the past 2 years, including a $4.5 million upgrade for an airport serving fewer than 100 people.

Meanwhile, the conservative U.S. News and World Report carries an article by John Farrell entitled, "John McCain's Journey From Maverick To Liar." Worth the read.

Is there anything the McMavericks are not willing to lie about?

It seems that, according to a House Appropriations Committee staf member, Alaska got $506 per capita in "earmarks" in 2008, vs. the national average of $51. Gov. Who?'s town of Wasilla got $1,000 per capita in 2002 while she was part-time mayor, or 20 times the national average for "earmarks" - - what St. John McOinkoink calls "pork barrel spending."
