Grassley is using Limbaugh's term "Porkulus"

So Grassley is getting his talking points from Rush too:

GOP Leaders Embrace Rush Limbaugh As Their ‘Unofficial Leader’

One example of Limbaugh’s influence, unmentioned in the article, is the fact that he coined the messaging strategy for stimulus opponents, referring to the economic recovery package as “porkulus.” On his Jan. 23 radio show, Limbaugh said “it’s not a stimulus, it’s a porkulus.” On his Jan. 28 show, Limbaugh introduced the term to Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA):

LIMBAUGH: You could call this the “porkulus.”

CANTOR: Right. (laughing) Let me tell you something. It is porkulus. That’s a great description.

Limbaugh cynically wrote in the Wall Street Journal, “This ‘porkulus’ bill is designed to repair the Democratic Party’s power losses from the 1990s forward, and to cement the party’s majority power for decades.”

Eventually, Limbaugh’s phrase trickled down to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who embraced the term. Watch it:

3. GOP has no life

It's sad that the GOP has a fat, drugged-up, stupid loser as their leader at this moment.

Keep it up though, it just helps the Dems more and more.

5. Don't forget pedophile

And that little trip to the Dominican Republic with a suitcase full of Viagra.

4. Great job Chuckles. Time for another phone call.

Or maybe I'll mix it up and send a fax this time.
