Republicans are always complaining about pork barrel spending. Sarah Palin opposed (after she supported) the bridge to nowhere! McCain doesn’t support DNA testing for wolves! Um, well, that’s nice but so what? McCain is trying to paint himself and Palin as these reformers against wasteful spending when in fact, these wasteful projects are a tiny drop in the massive bucket that is the federal budget.
What’s really amusing is that McCain had to hijack Obama’s “change” theme. I guess “experience” wasn’t getting them the results they were looking for.

The amazing thing was that the “hijacking” was successful.
