Earmarks (pork) have always been bad, especially in the case of Ted Stevens, but John McCain has never earmarked anything. I loath McCain, but I have to give the devil his due on that one.

Always is a strong word - but regardless, it is the operative word today. Sen. Inhofe, and all other Republicans, may want to make a case for earmarks - and they’re welcome to do it - but, please, NOT THIS SESSION. At least wait until 2013, and then only under VERY STRICT rules, if at all.
