Can Rico have one, huh, huh?

Seems the new crop of freshmen Democrats have learned how to play the game:

"Freshman Representatives Nick Lampson (D-Texas) and Nancy Boyda (D-Kan.), two of the Republicans’ top political targets this year, were among the biggest beneficiaries. Lampson collected $15.2 million in earmarks by himself. Including projects he shared with colleagues, Lampson grabbed $42 million. Boyda secured for herself an astonishing $20.7 million worth of projects. She shared another $17 million worth of projects with colleagues."

Rico says he's been a good boy, he could use an earmark or two...
