IN DOING SO, HE WROTE THIS:
Excellent move. I wonder if Hillary will follow suit? Given her earmark history, it seems unlikely.
- THIS STATEMENT IMPLIES THAT OBAMA'S RECORD ON EARMARKS IS BETTER THAN HILLARY'S - AS IF SHE WAS A PIG, AND HE WASN'T.
- IN THIS GLENN REYNOLDS IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG.
- AND HE COULD EASILY HAVE DONE 30 SECONDS OF GOOGLING TO FIND THE TRUTH, THAT OBAMA IS AN EARMARK PIG, TOO.
From NBC's Carly Zakin
We've counted up the earmark requests on Obama's Web site, and they add up to 113 requests totaling $494,266,475.
***Update*** Well, math has never actually been our strong suit -- especially when adding with a computer calculator. And after hearing back from Obama's Senate office (and crunching our numbers again) we were a bit off. Obama's total earmark requests (when teamed up with other senators) is $399,766,475. The price tag for his solo earmark requests is $321,766,475.
- THAT'S $322 MILLION. OBAMA IS A PIG JUST LIKE HILLARY (WITH $520 MILLION).
- WILL GLENN REYNOLDS/INSTAPUNDIT CORRECT HIS POST?
- DOUBTFUL. WHAT HE EXPECTS OF THE MSM, HE FAILS TO DO HIMSELF.
ADDENDUM: EARMARK TOTAL FOR MCCAIN: ZERO.
- LOOKIT: I'M GLAD OBAMA IS SUPPORTING DEMINT IN THIS, BUT IF HE IS, THEN HE'S CHANGING HIS STRIPES, AND PEOPLE OUGHT TO BE AWARE OF THAT.
- AND IT PROVES THAT HILLARY CAN CHANGE HER STRIPES, TOO. IT'S UNFAIR FOR GLENN TO ADMONISH HILLARY AND LET OBAMA OFF THE HOOK.
*******UPDATE: GLENN HAS UPDATED HIS POST - AND IT PROVES MY POINT:
ANOTHER UPDATE: Another email. I'm sure this is all because of the power of InstaPundit! "Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-New York) has agreed to cosponsor the DeMint-McCain earmark moratorium amendment." Good for her.JUST LIKE I SAID: IF OBAMA AND HIS $332 MILLION COULD NOW SUPPORT DEMINT, THEN SO COULD HILLARY AND HER $520 MILLION. REPEAT: I WAS RIGHT, AND GLENN WAS WRONG.
