Until recently its been close to impossible to figure which congressman stuck which pork barrel earmarks in legislation but not anymore. When Jim Oberstar was caught sticking a ten million earmark into a piece of legislation he was called on it and had to defend himself on the floor of the House. There are no fireworks in this video but it will give you a good look at our indispensable congressman. This is what you sound like after spending 32 years prowling the back hallways of Congress waiting for a chairmanship and looking for pork.

When is an earmark not an earmark?
When is a project not a project?
When is spending millions not spending millions?
When is pork not pork?
When is a deficit not a deficit?
Maybe it depends on what one means by “is”?
