John Murtha Is The Pork King

All Hail the King of Pork, DemocRAT John Murtha!



From The Hill:

    Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), chairman of the House Appropriations defense panel, has secured the most earmarked dollars in the 2008 military spending bill.

    [...]

    Murtha’s 48 earmarks amount to a total of $150.5 million, according to a database compiled by the watchdog organization Taxpayers for Common Sense (TCS).

    [...]

    Murtha, the defense industry’s darling, has been known throughout his tenure on the defense panel to shell out a large number of earmarks. His biggest earmark in the bill is $23 million for the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC)

    [...]

    Murtha’s second highest earmark is for $15 million for a military molecular medicine initiative.

    [...]

    Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) got her share of pork projects — 11 projects valued at $37.3 million.

    Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s (D-Md.) haul is $26 million.

Way to go Democrooks. So much for the fiscal responsibility these losers whined and cryed and pissed and moaned about. I can't wait for the infrastructure earmarks to start appearing.
