Fox News are so desperate to dig up any dirt on Ron Paul, that one of their flagship shows last night resorted to attacking him over the amount of federal funding he requested for shrimp research.

Watch the video.

Texas congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul - who is campaigning as a critic of congressional overspending - has revealed that he is requesting $400 million worth of earmarks this year," reported the Brit Hume show.

The Wall Street Journal reports Paul's office says those requests include $8 million for the marketing of wild American shrimp and $2.3 million to pay for research into shrimp fishing.

A spokesman says, "Reducing earmarks does not reduce government spending, and it does not prohibit spending upon those things that are earmarked. What people who push earmark reform are doing is they are particularly misleading the public - and I have to presume it's not by accident."

The Texas Lone Star Times also ran with the shrimp hit piece, which originated with an article in the Wall Street Journal.
