It's technically correct, albeit misleading. But who cares? The center of her campaign is her opposition to earmarks, when in reality she's the federal welfare queen of Alaska.

So she may still take earmarks however she is nowhere as bad as Ted Stevens and past Alaskan leaders...

In fact, he has had some of HER requests on his list of the most egregious earmarks. He's recently ridiculed Montana requesting funding for bear DNA research, while Palin requested funding for seal DNA research and the mating habits of crabs earlier this year. The campaign responded by saying that's different because Palin's request was "critical." Sorry Manny, but there's no way around this preposterous display of hypocrisy, due entirely to McCain's lack of vetting and lack of anything resembling honor or principles.
