The Wall Street Journal disagrees with McCain

Even the Wall Street Journal finds McCain to be at odds with reality:

Last week, Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain said his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, hadn't sought earmarks or special-interest spending from Congress, presenting her as a fiscal conservative. But state records show Gov. Palin has asked U.S. taxpayers to fund $453 million in specific Alaska projects over the past two years.

These projects include more than $130 million in federal funds that would benefit Alaska's fishing industry and an additional $9 million to help Alaska oil companies. She also has sought $4.5 million to upgrade an airport on a Bering Sea island that has a year-round population of less than 100.

If Cindy McCain thought the hosts on The View "picked our bones clean" after she and John appeared on the show last week, I wonder what she'd think after a summit with Putin or an emergency Sunday session with Ben Bernanke.

Welcome to the real world! If Joy Behar can catch you in a lie, someone who's really tough is going to run all over you, John.
