earmark queen lying about Obama

McCain, Palin criticize Obama on earmarks

LEE'S SUMMIT, Mo. - John McCain and Sarah Palin are criticizing Democrat Barack Obama over requesting money for his home state of Illinois even though the Alaska governor's record is mixed.

At a rally, the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate accused Obama of requesting nearly $1 billion in earmarks.

In fact, Obama hasn't asked for any earmarks this year and last year, he sought $311 million worth.

Palin has cut back on pork-barrel requests, but in her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation.

The gall of these scumbags to out and out lie about Obama while Palin is one of the nation's worst offenders!
At least in this case, they were called on it. But gawddam, how do they keep getting away with this shit? Obama needs to blast them!!

Amazingly, the media is calling them on their bs:
