Watch: Pork (the so-called stimulus) Bill

Republican House members say no to pork spending authorized by Democrat House members. Not a single Republican voted for the bill.

So far they have eliminated sodding the mall and eliminating condoms from the bill.

These measures are not an emergency and should go through the normal legislative process.

"House Democrats have removed $200 million from President Barack Obama's economic stimulus package that would have been devoted to renovating the National Mall. "

The House Republicans had NO input into the bill, so by default they have not pork in the bill.
