Our friends at Open the Books reported on this utterly shameless feature of the massive bipartisan pork-barrel bill making its way through Congress:

Three senators sent their own colleges over $50 million of taxpayer money:

• Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
  University of Kentucky, University of Louisville
  Seven earmark requests worth $164.9 million
• Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV)
  Marshall University
  Nine earmark requests worth $57.5 million
• Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA)
  Washington State University
  Two earmark requests worth $50.9 million
