It's just fun to drive home the point that Bush is a fiscal liberal. Frankly, in this case, where we are dealing with brazen pork, I believe that the outcome in a Kerry presidency would be significantly greater fiscal constraint, since the Democrats and Republicans usually want to deliver pork to different constituencies and the fight over the spoils lessens the pork. Though I recognize that what the house leadership did was to say, we'll take our pork but put enough in front of you guys so you won't be able to attack us for it, effectively doubling the snouts at the trough.
