TPM characterizes Byrd:
“Byrd, whose penchant for pork would probably win him the Pork Crown if he weren’t saddled with minority status…”

Very disappointing.

The proposal is for a website that allows the public to view government spending (what and how much), which will allow for better oversight and smarter decisions by the voters.

Any sane democratic-minded person would be in favor of this, so it has to be the tubes! ;-)
