According to Congressional Quarterly, Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) was awarded with 48 earmarks, totaling $65 Million dollars, in the Fiscal Year 2008 Appropriations Bills, and ranked her the 7^th most effective earmarker in the House of Representatives.

Just to put Ms. Kaptur’s accomplishments into perspective, the average Democratic lawmaker is linked with $10.3 million in earmarks; while the average Republican is attributed to $8.7 million.

However, the Sandusky Register, Rep. Kaptur’s hometown newspaper, went one step further and revealed an additional 16 earmarks that were not included in the CQ Report – her name attached to each.

I dont watch a lot of c span (and I had never heard of her before), but I happened to watch her yesterday scolding the Pres. for the national debt. She spoke a litany of delusional economic thoughts. Weirdly, the only reason I remember her was a gigantic bow on the front of her outfit. Think a hippies mother, circa 1969.
