It is not surprising even though according to the legislative record he had not requested any earmarks at least back to 2008.  But if you look back he has consistently said the system for earmarks is broken and until fiscal sanity is back there should be a moratorium and he has walked the talk.  He called for a moratorium and not elimination of the system altogether which in my view is a shame and a disappointment.

I would like to see it confirmed because Politco is a left-leaning website and may have distorted what he said but based on his past it seems plausible.  But if it turns out to be true then he doesn't deserve a leadership position although it seems like you probably can't find a politician that doesn't like earmarks for obvious reasons.   Until that system no longer buys votes you will be hard pressed to find a majority in congress that wants to give up earmarks.  We as Americans have to say no, we don't want the pork.  When you look at the entitlement mentality we have the term fat chance comes to mind.
