John McCain hates pork-barrel spending.  He’s never asked for or accepted an earmark. Except when he has:

It’s not on YouTube yet, so go over to Gawker and watch an incredibly entertaining compilation of professional punching bag Tucker Bounds getting jacked up everywhere he goes.

Speaking at an Iowa Rally a few minutes ago, John McCain warned Wall Street fat-cats that “change is coming,” and that they are “not going to like it.”  Since John McCain wants to give those fat-cats and their businesses massive new tax cuts, exactly what part of it aren’t they going to like?
