Seriously, we need to start a hypocrisy clock for Sarah Palin. As was pointed out yesterday, while governor, it turns out that Palin was more of a fan of pork than mooseburgers, and that:
Three times in recent years, McCain’s catalogs of “objectionable” spending have included earmarks for this small Alaska town, requested by its mayor at the time — Sarah Palin.
