From Taxpayers for Common Sense and Center for Responsive Politics 

Mazie K. Hirono sponsored or co-sponsored 67 earmarks totaling $149,769,900 in fiscal year 2010 ranking 1st out of 435 representatives.  

(This proves that Inouye has been grooming Hirono to look like she’s actually doing something by letting her co-sponsor his earmarks for an entire year now. Remember this? Abercrombie Ranks #1 in Earmarks for 2009. He made for such a wonderful governor, right?)
