I believe the technical term for this is “making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.”
Not, of course, that Limbaugh’s comments that started the whole brouhaha could actually be classed as “sow’s ear” by anyone who actually heard what he said at the outset.
Harry Reid, though, is just a self-serving opportunistic pig.

“Big Cat, Little Cat.”
Mycah has been on a diet, and though it might not be obvious, she’s slimmed down from her rotund maximum (almost 20 lbs when I got her) to a comparatively svelte 14 pounds.
[Click for larger.]
Svelte? Rubenesque would probably be more accurate, in absolute terms. But having lost a few pounds, she is much livelier and more active than before. She still has a few pounds to go yet.
Complain though she may about not getting as much food as she wants, it’s for the best. Her health comes first.
And she’ll usually accept skritches in lieu of food… for a while, anyway.
