Republicon stategist Robert Ryan was just asked by Schuster on MSNBC
exactly what items in the stimulus bill is "pork". Answer: "Well, I haven't gone through the bill line by line but the reports coming out indicate...blah, blah, blah."

I would venture to guess that none of the rethugs planning to vote against the bill have read the legislation in any detail.

Schuster countered that he would guess that landscaping companies in the Capitol would beg to differ that refurbishing The Mall is a bad idea and not worthy of stimulus funds.

4. By reports, he means the talking points coming from Rushbo's fax machine.
Talking points are difficult if you don't know the subject matter.
