1. The pork you agree with isn't called pork...it's called "really, really important"

in other words...

[amdezurik]

2. well there is the pork you know

then there is the pork you don't know...

[Solly Mack]

3. it's not pork...it's tenderloin

[jwirr]

4. There is a big difference between "a bridge to nowhere" and some

bill that actually is needed but not covered in the regular budget that really meets a need for the people. I call the former pork and the later really important.

5. Are you saying the money for NASCAR in that bill wasn't pork?

[jwirr]

6. No, I am saying that sometimes pork is not pork.

[Skidmore]

7. I thought we established that pork=earmarks.

8. Let's review my Two Rules of Pork

Rule Number One, or the Pork Ownership Rule: If the spending is in your district, It Is Not Pork.

Rule Number Two, or the Pig Picking Rule: When the pork comes out, everyone wants some.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. So, the Republicans really DO understand "nuance"

I wonder what McCain will say now about Obama's "pork"? Thanks McCain campaign!!! They've just handed Obama an easy rebuttal to any future attacks about "pork barrel" spending!!
