The Washington Post's Paul Kane claimed that Sen. John McCain is “using his blanket opposition to earmarked spending as a regular line of attack” against Sen. Hillary Clinton. But in the same article, Kane contradicted his claim that McCain has a policy of “blanket opposition to earmarked spending,” reporting: “McCain, who has helped lead efforts to strip some earmarks from Senate bills, has not focused on the money headed to his home state. Other Arizona lawmakers secured more than $214 million in pet projects in fiscal 2008 spending bills.”
