McCain's pork

Good find by Matthew Delong of the Washington Independent, who went back through the files and discovered that John McCain was for pork before he was against it.

Delong unearthed a news article, headlined "McCain attacks pork projects, then finds he backed 3 in state," and a blistering editorial that tell the story.

Granted it's 17 years ago. But he does say he's never requested pork. Lie number 739.
