Honest Question: What Is 'Porculus'?
2/12/2009 | whereisreagan?

Posted on 02/12/2009 11:18:42 AM PST by whereisreagan?

This may sound like a stupid question, I know that in full. I had to laugh a bit about the word 'Porculus' and have more than a hunch by now what it refers to. But can you kind folks enlighten me a bit more (its history, for instance, and why of all animals the swine has been chosen)?

I know, I know, I could have chosen Google etc. etc.

I simply thought it better to ask it right here.

You need to start over with “The Cow Says Moo!!, The Cat Says Meow!!”........

Actually, I believe it was Rush Limbaugh that coined the phrase on his show.

Porkulus is the big, big, big spending bill that, in the months to come, will be followed by Son of Porkulus, Bride of Porkulus, Revenge of Porkulus, and Porkulus Eats Manhattan.

Admit it Lewisglad, you only posted that picture of Jabba the Hut because Carrie Fisher is in it.

Roman, friends, country men lend me your pork. I have come to praise Porkulus not to bury him.
