Porky in Wackyland

Jesse Walker | May 24, 2007

The Washington Post reports that -- surprise! -- the new Congress loves its pork.

From the article:

"Absolutely nothing has changed," said the Center for Defense Information's Winslow T. Wheeler, a Senate appropriations and national security aide who worked for both Democrats and Republicans over three decades before stepping down in 2002. "The rhetoric has changed but not the behavior, and the behavior has gotten worse in the sense that while they are pretending to reform things, they are still groveling in the trough."
