http://www.kmaland.com/news/ernst-selected-to-give-gop-state-of-the-union-response/article_00cd82fc-9cf8-11e4-b902-bfff7cd2cbd4.htmlSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio announced Thursday that Ernst will deliver the Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday. The announcement comes a little more than a week after Ernst was sworn into the Republican-controlled Senate, and more than two months after she was elected to succeed Democrat Tom Harkin. In a conference call with reporters earlier this week, Ernst said she believes lawmakers in Washington can work together in a cooperative spirit.
Well why not go for the gold ring. iowa swallowed her bullshit and is asking for more why not the White House. Strike while the iron is hot. Fame based on pig nuts. FUCK FUCK FUCK

BFD! I tried to elect Roxanne Conlin over Chuckles the clown last time he ran, but apparently it wasn't so important to Iowans to have a lady serve at that time!
