Cap and Trade Earmarks: Big Names and Big Bucks Part 2

Here's the list for today, kids. There are Republicans on the list. Of the three Republicans on today's list, only one, Chris Smith (R-NJ) is one of the Republican 8. I guess the other ones decided to stuff their earmarks in realizing that they could have it both ways: Satisfy the constituency while voting against cap and trade. BUSTED!!!
