Too Funny

Josh did a good job on this video. Sarah Palin is a liar. John McCain is a liar too. Neither can run on what they have done or what they will do because no one wants to live in a third world country. But that is what republican government is.

Here is Josh's colleague Kate Klonick on the earmarks.

According to Alaska's 2009 catalog of earmark requests the state's sea life are in great need of federal money. As Politico points out, Palin's office requested $2 million in federal monies to study crab mating habits; $494,900 for the recreational halibut harvest and $3.2 million for seal genetics research.

Those requests for the study of wildlife genetics and mating habits seems pretty antithetical to the long-standig views of Palin's running mate, John McCain.

"We're not going to spend $3 million of your tax dollars to study the DNA of bears in Montana," McCain said earlier this year, referring to a request from Montana for federal money to study the endangered grizzly bear. "I don't know if it was a paternity issue or criminal, but it was a waste of money."

They had no need to lie about Palin getting ear marks. It is a governors job to get as much federal money as they can. Why tell the truth when a couple of lies will do?
