Bringin' home da pork

Seems our esteemed Denny Rehburg is tops (in a way) of "bringing home the bacon" to Montana.

According to this CNN Politics news story, Denny is Number 1 in the number of pork-barrel projects he directs back to Montana - at 88 of them.

Way to go, Denny! Woo-hoo!

If you're interested to see the full details of the "Pig Book" that reports on pork-barrel projects, you can find them HERE. I promise, you'll never look at a pig the same again...

UPDATE:
The site has a nifty "search by" feature that lets you hunt down what projects a Congressrodent has earmarked. Denny? Here's what he was involved in:
