So Much For Being A Fiscal Conservative, Senator Burns

Senator Conrad Burns filed for re-election yesterday and gave this explanation for why he should be re-elected:

Burns, who sits on the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, said he is responsible for bringing more than $2 billion in federal money to Montana during his career. He intends to run on his record of delivering for Montana and won't shy away from mentioning it.

He was also quite good at delivering for Jack Abramoff, but somehow, I doubt we'll be hearing quite as much about that from the Senator.
