War on Earmarks!

HT The Corner. WSJ has the 12-step program:)

Can Congress recover?

House Republicans at least made some progress at their annual retreat late last week, offering a one-year moratorium on earmarks if Democrats go along. That probably won't happen, however. So the GOP leadership could help itself with voters by endorsing Arizona Representative and earmark scourge Jeff Flake's request to join the Appropriations Committee, where he could serve as a taxpayer watchdog. Imagine how he could torment such all-world earmarkers as Pennsylvania Democrat Jack Murtha?

Porkers of the Year you are on notice. We want Jeff Flake!
