GOP hypocrisy on display: Lindsey Graham flip and flops on earmarks: He really hates earmarks, but earmarks are okay for South Carolina

The Republican Senators are filibustering the omnibus spending bill -- a bill that couldn't get passed last year because of Bush. It's the spending bill for the current year.

And, the GOP's hypocrisy on this subject was captured yesterday on "Meet the Press." Think Progress got the video.

Republicans are just so disingenuous on this subject.
