From a reader:

Of course, the Club for Growth conveniently omits any positive reference to Senator McCain.

McCain, who is running for president, missed nearly all of the pork votes. He scored a 2 of 2 on the re-pork card.

But McCain has traditionally been excellent on the issue of pork, often exasperating his fellow senators by trying to strip their projects out of appropriations bills. He has been doing this stuff in the Senate for years — long before Coburn came along and made it cool again. (Heh — is it okay to say that?)

UPDATE: The Club’s spokeswoman sends me a note in that vein:

It’s hard to talk, either good or bad, about a guy who shows up for only two votes. The 2007 repork card does not look at how senators did last year or the year before, but simply how they voted in 2007.
