only caught briefly on a crawl. has anybody in the "liberal" media asked him to name all 9,000?

by the way, does anybody have that list handy of just how many earmarks mcinsane has gotten over the years for HIS state?

thanks in advance.

5. so now "earmarks" are bad?
it's awful peculiar to me that last November when Inhofe was running his ads here in OK in his senate race, he was bragging about how much money he brought home from DC for our roads. Wouldn't that qualify as "earmarks" ?
