Rush did a good job of naming this bill (from above):

“You could call this the ‘porkulus,’” said Limbaugh. “Right,” laughed Cantor. “Let me tell you something: it is porkulus. That’s a great description.”
From Washington, DC, to California; from Canada to South Africa and Qatar the world knows that this "stimulus" bill is nothing more than the democrats plan to feed themselves and their friends and buy votes.

WTG Rush!

Try to pull up the wikipedia result for “porkulus”. You get a “This page has been deleted.” Care to guess if the owner(s) of Wikipedia are Obama sycophants?

Delete Neologism, no reliable sources found on google web search, so it's non-notable Pattont/c 21:34, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Reliable source (Wall Street Journal) is in the references section. Because it is a neologism, it is timely right now. Should it fade from use without historical import, it would be appropriate to delete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gustnado (talk • contribs) 21:53, February 1, 2009

That's not a reference, the word was used once in a newspaper article, it's not an article about the term.--Pattont/c 21:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

The references establish the usage and definition of the term. —Gustnado (talk contribs) 22:12, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

It is, however, trivial coverage (Ty whoevr fixed the double AfD)--Pattont/c 23:03, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

It is, however, the precise defining coverage.--Gustnado (talk) 23:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Delete. Neologism. Other than the fact that someone called the package "porkulus", it does not contribute to our knowledge of the subject. GregorB (talk) 22:20, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

It contributes to our knowledge of political humor and commentary. It is not meant to contribute to our knowledge of the legislation. comment added by Gustnado (talkcontribs) 22:27, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Delete Non-notable neologism. --Peephole (talk) 22:51, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

BTW, porculus is a real word; it means "SMALL pig" in Latin. A mere 1 trillion dollar piglet. Just wait till the Pelosicrats come up with a really BIG pork bill....

Rush was the first to use the word “porkulus” to describe Obama’s bill. He used it on his radio show for the first time on Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Cantor was on his show the next day, and Rush wrote his article for the WSJ the day after that. See the time line below:

Rush: Pearl of Wisdom: “If you look at the details of what’s in this porkulus plan, very little of it is stimulating. It’s just pork. It’s the Democrats paying back unions and the people that got ‘em elected. There’s $4.19b for ‘neighborhood stabilization.’ That means voter fraud. That’s ACORN.” Tue, 27 Jan 2009

Congressman Eric Cantor (R-VA) calls to discuss the Obama Porkulus bill. It was just last month that Obama promised that this bill wouldn’t be full of pork. (Rush 24/7 Members: Listen Here) Wed, 28 Jan 2009

“My Bipartisan Stimulus”. ~ by Rush Limbauagh
