These kind of earmarks are why no money is being spent on infrastructure (ie. bridges)

For the first time, House members are required to certify that they have no financial interest in the earmarks they sponsor...

Hmmm, this could get interesting.

Murtha was one of only eight in the House to vote against the Ethics bill, you’re right, it’ll get interesting. He’s going to have to figure a new way to hide his corruption.

Too late ... the damage has been done and the fat one has been busy all this time cementing his creds and ordering cement.

There has been indications that she may not, we’ll just have to wait and see I guess.
