THE SWINE LINE

It's a great title, and I like their Pig Book, too!
There's a handy .pdf edition that lists and defines pork.

You think this bothers John one little bit?

Bah! He bathes in this kind of news.

He’s an arrogant old son of a bitch and he’s laughing all the way to the bank.

John Murtha - Uber poster boy for term limits.

From tonight's Political Grapevine on Fox News with Brit Hume

Video here...> Other People's Money

Transcript:

Other People's Money

The nonpartisan group Citizens Against Government Waste has named Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman John Murtha its "Porker of the Year" for 1987. Murtha received 63 percent of the vote in the group's online poll.

Murtha was cited for what the organization calls — "flouting the rules and playing games with reform, while filling spending bills with pork and arrogantly threatening anyone that challenges his authority."

The group says Murtha brought home 72 pork products worth almost $150 million in the current fiscal year.

Coming in a distant second was Republican Congressman Don Young of Alaska — who had 18 projects for just over $10 million. He was followed closely by Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas — who sponsored 95 projects worth almost $143 million.
