CNSNews.com - Taxpayer Group Crowns New Congressional ‘King of Pork’, ‘Top Narcissists’ for 2010

CNSNews.com - Taxpayer Group Crowns New Congressional ‘King of Pork’, ‘Top Narcissists’ for 2010: "(CNSNews.com) - Sens. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), and Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) and were the top award “winners” in the 2010 Congressional Pig Book Awards issued Wednesday by the taxpayer group Citizens Against Government Waste.

Harkin and Byrd jointly won the “Narcissist Award” for 2010 – a little-coveted award given to those members of Congress who request taxpayer money to fund projects named after themselves.

Harkin asked for $7,287,000 to continue what he calls the “Harkin Grant” program for renovating Iowa public schools."
