Presidential hopeful John McCain tried unsuccessfully to implement a one-year moratorium on earmarks. Surprisingly, the other two Presidential hopefuls from the Democrats voted along with him. So did Joe Lieberman (I-CT), Russ Feingold (D-WA), Evan Bayh (D-IN), Claire McCaskill (D-MO). If all the Republicans had voted with him, it would have carried. Sadly, 26 Republicans like their pork too much to sign on. Here's the complete tally:

Hey Rick,
We have the best Congress that money can buy.
Hope all is well, and...
Best regards
Some of those Democrites [sic] are quite notorious for being drunkards...
We'll drive off that bridge when we come to it.
