I Couldn't Eat Another Bite, I'm…98 Percent Empty?
Thursday, March 12th, 2009Under the Onion-ready headline "Obama Calls for Earmark Reform, Signs Earmark-Laden Spending Bill," (3/12/09), the L.A. Times' James Oliphant and Christi Parsons begin their story:
President Obama railed against pork barrel projects on Wednesday. Then he signed a massive spending bill stuffed with them.
I'm not sure what the cut-off for something being "stuffed" with something else is, but I'm pretty sure that 2 percent doesn't qualify. Maybe the word they're looking for is "sprinkled"?
