Jjon Kyl was talking about his earmarks. And let's put this in perspective; there are 535 senators and representatives, and 9,000 earmarks. That is an everag of ahout 17 per lawmaker, and Jon Kyl only had 4 according to the FNS list. Why would Chris Wallace press an underachiever about the total number?

And when CW and others talk about Republicans having "40%" of the earmarks, does that mean number of line items, or dollars in total?

The Republican present should respond, "Yes, it has gone on too long and too much, and we are the party that wants to put a stop to the practice all around. The 'rats want to grow it into a monster that will destroy the economy."

Then act like it.
