Ethics, schmethics

Most RSC members enjoy pork
By Jonathan Allen

Rep. Tom Feeney (R-Fla.) is one of the House’s harshest critics of pork-barrel spending. A member of the conservative Republican Study Committee, he was one of 20 lawmakers who voted 19 times in May and June to strike earmarks from appropriations bills. He refers to himself as Tom “Pork Buster” Feeney.

Marilyn Musgrave used to say less pork means a more ethical congress. But Marilyn's about to lose her job, so that changes things.

Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-Colo.) is directing three earmarks worth $900,000 to
the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley and another $650,000 to projects
in Fort Collins and Greeley.

Hypocrite.
