PATHETIC SCORES on earmark (pork) reform for Virginia’s senators. John Warner ambles across the finish line at 25%, voting in favor of three of the twelve recent amendments aimed at reform. I first assumed that Jim Webb’s score of 0% was a data fault, caused by his relatively recent entry into the world’s greatest deliberative body. It seems, however, that he simply failed to get out of the gate, having voted against reform on each of seven opportunities.
This sort of thing is indicative of the political class’s growing arrogance and contempt for voters and taxpayers. Perhaps the problem is that the latter has become too small a subset of the former.
