Obviously this clip got slurped up by TPM because of the blatant hypocrisy in asking for earmarks, and then saying you're voting against the bill because it contains earmarks, but there's a subtler point worth highlighting as well.

Look at this exchange:

"But you favor earmarks is what you're saying," Hemmer said.

"I do not," Cornyn insisted. "I think we need an earmark moratorium -- which I voted for -- for two years, until we fix this broken system."

Hypocritical to have 16 million in earmarks then say your against them. The republicans were voted in large numbers to stop spending. I hope people are taking note for next election.

Good post

I just think its cute that Fox thinks its news.

Adorable.

maybe cute.
what isn't cute is that "those who watched Fox News almost daily were significantly more likely than those who never watched it" to believe things that are demonstrably untrue.

So much for "fair and balanced."
