LAT on earmarks

The LAT editorializes this morning on earmarks, almost agreeing with President Bush's decisions, announced in the SOU, to veto spending bills that don't reduce earmarks and to instruct administration officials to ignore earmarks that are not in the legislation that Congress passes and he signs -- in other words to ignore earmarks that appear only in committee reports. But then the LAT pulls back, as if it's out of their nature to agree with President Bush on anything.
