Saturday Boston Globe: Nothing about the 2010 U.S. Census.

Saturday Boston Herald: Something about the 2010 U.S. Census.

Lede:

The feds spent millions to convince citizens that participating in the Census was as American as apple pie – but many of the T-shirts, hats, bags and other swag they handed out during the campaign were actually made overseas, the Herald has learned.

Graphic:

Enter Massachusetts Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Stephen Lynch). Sunday Boston Herald headline:

Rep. Stephen Lynch seeing red over China swag

Lede:

An outraged Massachusetts lawmaker is calling for a congressional probe of the federal government’s purchase of foreign-made census propaganda with taxpayer cash, the Herald has learned.

U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-S. Boston) is requesting an investigation into the spending by the U.S. Census Bureau on the heels of a Herald report revealing that census swag including hats, T-shirts, toys and other trinkets were made in China and Honduras.

Not to get technical about it, but doesn’t the Herald mean “foreign-made census paraphernalia?”

Regardless, a big Campaign Outsider round of applause for Stephen Lynch, our Department of Opportunism Solon of the Month.
