I find this hilarious. Hasn't McCain been saying he hasn't supported one pork-barrel piece of legislation? This is exactly what this is.

I'm hoping that Doc doesn't cave on this.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a representation of someone capable of not just doing what he's told to do for a change? The fact that Doc's spokesman feigns a Hastings back-bone bodes as, perhaps, W.'s greatest indicator to date of just how low history will bury the cowards. But we need our straw man to have a brain.

Doc was one of 108 Republican congressman to vote against this. However, it did pass.
