No surprise here

From Pejman:
Republicans must be positively salivating at the thought that the fourth ranking Democrat in the House, yea verily, the architect of the Democratic takeover in the House, is now on record arguing in favor of the earmarking process. Seldom is a political gift so swiftly delivered. And seldom is a contention–in this case, the contention that the earmarking process has now become transparent–so easily refuted.
Yeah, those problems with earmarks, corruption and wasteful spending were all about the Republicans people (/sarcasm.) I am glad they lost, they needed a good bit of slapping around to do their job (or at least the one I want them to do, which is stand in the way of Democratic plans to expand the size of the state, and it seems to have helped a good bit) but they were not the real problem on spending. I dealt with that nonsense before the elections here, here and here.
It was a disingenuous campaign on that score, and this is just one more piece of evidence.
