Liberal environmentalist Tom Steyer's new group just dropped some serious coin on what is surely one of the most bizarre political ads of the 2014 election -- and not really bizarre in a good way.

The ad hits Iowa GOP Senate candidate Joni Ernst for signing the Americans for Tax Reform's no-new-taxes pledge, suggesting the pledge is aimed at protecting her GOP special-interest benefactors (Koch brothers, anyone?).
