After Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) on Wednesday wondered why Congress would want to help one child with cancer during the government shutdown by agreeing to fund the National Institutes of Health (NIH), former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin ripped Reid on Twitter for his past support for much more trivial legislative pork.
