First course, the appetizer, was dog food:

“The House Republican brand is so bad right now that if it were a dog food, they’d take it off the shelf,” said retiring Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (Va.), who chaired the NRCC for four years earlier this decade.

Now he’s moved on to the main course, human food:

Hundreds of grass-roots organizations, including food banks, supported the legislation. The National Farmers Union rallied more than 1,000 organizations in favor of the override.

“Although it’s pork to most of the country, it’s prime rib to the farm belt,” Davis said.
