The winner of Tuesday’s Iowa Senate Race, Republican Joni Ernst will be featured regularly in political comedy shows because of her extreme beliefs, a political strategist told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.
“Joni Ernst has said some things that are on the fringe of American politics - which the press hasn’t covered very well. She referred to [US President Barack] Obama as a dictator. Not to mention she’s into all kinds of weird conspiracy theories. She’ll definitely make good fodder for Jon Stewart for the next six years,” Iowa-based political consultant Pete D'Alessandro said.
D'Alessandro, who has also worked on a number of election campaigns, also pointed to some alarming statements Ernst made regarding gun ownership, including the one in which she stated that she would need a gun to defend herself against the government.
“I would say she’s a less intelligent Sarah Palin [Former Alaska Governor]. Sarah Palin is actually smarter, politically,” the strategist claimed.
Wow, dumber than Sarah Palin. Is there any worse allegation than that for a politician?
I agree that Ernst is going to attract a lot of attention from comedians and satirists.
I can already visualize the SNL skit based on her acceptance speech, where she brayed like a donkey the entire time.
As for being dumber than Palin, I will have to see a little more evidence before I am willing to hand the Queen of Stupidity crown over to Ernst. Maybe if her family got shitfaced and attacked an innocent homeowner I might consider it.
You noted that acceptance "speech," too. What was up with the maniacal laughter every few words? She sounded demented or off her meds, like maybe waiting for the count to come in she forgot to take something. DNC did a terrible job getting out the word on how crazed Ernst really is.
ReplyDeleteMany have said Ernst was "braying like a donkey." That fits, given that she's such a fucking jackass.
DeleteWhen there's one person in the room who ran on "making them squeal" , any perceived bray or squeal can and will be used against her. Mr Joni better sleep with one eye open!
DeleteA toss-up, if you ask me. My nephew, Iowa resident, messaged me after Ernst's speech on Tuesday, saying, "I'm worried. This woman is Bat Shit Crazy."
ReplyDeleteCruz, Ernst, and Palin.
Talk about the three stooges!
(with apologies to Larry, Curly, and Mo)
The GOP friendly meadia keep saying Earnst is "only 44" years old, but she looks AT LEAST 50 or at least as old as $carah, but why do they keep telling us that she's "only 44." Who gives!
ReplyDeleteMaybe they are saying she's only 44 in disbelief because they think she looks like she's in her 50's. Of course nothing wrong with looking like you're in your 50's.
DeleteDoes she wear a wig too? Kind of looks like it!
DeleteThat sure looks like a wig to me. I suppose it helps keep the crazy in?
Delete44? This women is 44? She's actually three years younger than me? I thought she was at least a decade older than me. Is it the "mom jeans" hair?
DeleteAnd just think, the far right is always bragging how "hot" their women are. Not this time, kids.

Sarah Palin is not dumb. Sarah just has a command of deceiving rhetoric and is adept at bearing false witness against those who stand in the way of God's plans to make Sarah Palin president of the United States of America, loved and worshipped by the masses.
ReplyDeleteThere is no "God's Plan" to make her President, shre found that out in '08. Just voices in her head.
Delete@ 12:42. GOD's PLAN for $arah Paylin?
DeleteAre fucking nuts?
She told McCain in no uncertain terms that GOD WILL MAKE SURE THE RIGHT PEOPLE WIN, back in 2008.
So what happened to GAWD's PLAN back then, please tell us?
Did Gawd make a mistake, or did $arah fuck it up so badly that the entire nation could see just what an unread, stupid, ignorant, uneducated, sociopathic, lying and conniving snake she really is?
You can take all your prayer warrior circles of self deception, and drop them off at church every day to beg a silent sky, but no amount of worthless pleading is ever getting your sky fairy to elect Paylin the Queen of Narcissisism.
1:22. Learn to read. Jesus.
Delete12:42pm
DeleteI know you are snarking but it does make me wonder how any person can stand in the way of God's plan? Seriously, do these people not know what "omnipotent" means?
:-)
2:48, you are an idiot. Please refrain from commenting until you get a brain.
DeleteI noticed what appeared to be a daughter (right shoulder) looked mortified by the laugh. Must take after the father.
ReplyDeleteJodi always wanted a son, I'm sure her "talent" came into play with the uncomfortable look along with being embarrassed beyond belief that those sounds came from her mom.
DeleteThe Father is a real fuckstick. He was caught saying Horribly misogynist things about Hillary and Nancy Pelosi. The thought that this woman is taking the place of that Liberal Lion Tom Harkin sickens me!
DeleteComedians should have a field day with Joni Ernst's hideous laugh. When she gave her speech when she won, Joni was the only one laughing at her comments.
ReplyDeleteRemember the idiot from Nevada a few years back,... Sharon Angle ? This is her crazier cousin Joni !
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin is not smart, well read or well educated. She's just nasty and evil w/her rhetoric which the Republicans/Teabaggers have allowed and promoted until this mid election cycle. (Although Mitten did try to shut her down in Florida when he announced he's run against President Obama!)
ReplyDeleteNow they (Republicans) are trying to play nice - at least, they told us that for a few hours! They aren't! Nothing is going to change and President Obama knows it! Hence, he'll move along where he can within the law.
Support President Obama! He is one hell of a POTUS especially, and in spite of, the constant obstruction and racism that we've watched all these years.
Fuck the Republicans! They don't do a damn thing or work for the poor and middle class! Plus, they are against women's rights!
Just you wait -- Sarah won't take this lying down! No Joni-come-lately is gonna take Sarah's crown. Look for some crazy-ass Facebook posts coming your way very soon. Plus, some not-very-subtle digs at Senator Ernst, early in 2015. Let the games begin!
ReplyDeleteMost definitely. Sarah will turn on her BFF Joni and soon.
DeleteIronic that JE could take Sarah's crown of stupidity.
DeleteThe media all over is slobering over "44-year-old" all-merican Joni. WTH. I had a thought. They want her to be the next Palin....lol sorry $carah..they're calling her a king-maker and future "everyone-wants-to-hang- out-with woman '
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @12:49 PM Fortunately for the nation, Sharron Angle didn't make it out of NV, the nation rejected $arah. But Iowa, what were you thinking, could you not hear the crazy guffaw?
ReplyDeleteWhile in college, she was part in an agricultural exchange to the Soviet Union. Did they implant her and how did the DNC miss that gem?
And the Wikipedia entry said she has a bachelors of science degree. In what? One has to wonder!
DeleteI did think that Iowa was a saner place than it appears to be the case. They'll be sorry. Of that I am sure.
DeleteThis is like, the third time now, that I've seen Ernst called "dumber than Sarah Palin".
ReplyDeleteI wonder how that makes Sarah feel?
I mean - Sarah Palin is the yardstick by which stupid is measured.
There's a spot in hell waiting for Joni Ernst right after Sarah Palin, the first person in line.
ReplyDeleteI do hope the comedians treat her the same way they treat other stellar GOPers like Louie Gohmert and old Crazy Eyes Bachmann. The more we laugh at her the less seriously people will take her (other then the RWNJs). I actually heard someone (I was half asleep; I don't know who.) mention her as a potential 2016 candidate to go up against Hillary. Really?????? That clown bus is going to be a treat.
ReplyDeleteThat was Luke the Lightweight Russert extolling her charms on that oh not so liberal media MSNBC.
DeleteAtta boy, Luke! Tie your kite to the Hee Haw Howler and you can both go down in flames.
By looking at her picture, her teeth look like she could have
ReplyDeletebitten the pig's happiness off!
i think theyre veneers...i see barstool got some new ones as well
DeleteThe Mid-Term Autopsy Report: Why We Lost, and Why it Might be the Best Thing That’s Ever Happened to Us
ReplyDeletehttp://aattp.org/the-mid-term-autopsy-report-why-we-lost-and-why-it-might-be-the-best-thing-thats-ever-happened-to-us/
But the real story underlying this election is one that the media will almost certainly fail to address. Despite the election returns, America hates the Republican Party and its policies. The turnout is estimated to be about 38%. That means that the GOP victory was achieved with a majority of a little more than one-third of the electorate, or about 20%. That is not exactly a ringing endorsement of the Republican agenda.
http://www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=21869
If people fail to vote then they get exactly what they deserve, I'm just tired of them taking me down with them.
DeleteI can't stand the double standard the media never mentions! Imagine if a male politician referred to cutting off a woman's genitals the way Ernst did in her commercial!
ReplyDeleteCan you just picture the apology tour a man would have to embark on if he loudly proclaimed he was "gonna make 'em squeal?"
Where is her dignity? We are really scraping the bottom of the barrel with politicians that speak like her.
That was supposedly a very moment in her life. I just can't imagine those were the best words she could use.

DeleteAfter much thought. Brilliant came to mind. Yes Brilliant. It was like the Democrats stayed home. Like the young stoners did not show up......2/3's? Then I blamed the D strategist. And then I thought about it. And this is brilliant. After 6 yrs. how about we allow these fools to pass a few bills that we do agree. They will not have enough time to attack healthcare, SS. Education etc. They are now sitting on top a hot pile of coal burning their ass. They will push for that senseless pipe dream of Koch keystone. NO. This must not happen.
ReplyDeleteDC passed rec mj. Let us hope it helps those sitting in our buildings.
One thing about it. Dems are smart. alittle quite but smart. Hmmmm? Was this a planned strategy? Let the hated R's win a mid and let them be in control for the next 2 yrs. BRILLIANT. Got a feeling this was planned. Nobody voted and handed a win. Dems threw the election on purpose. Yea....Trojan horse.
ReplyDeleteNo, Dems are just lazy and stupid and decided that no one in their right mind would vote for an obstructionist regime. Wrong again Dems. Try harder in 2016.
DeleteI don't think it was a plan, but I do think the bat shit crazy wing of the Repubs will destroy the party. There is a huge divide between the Teabag crowd and the 'old guard', and that divide will fester and grow until one or the other splinters off. This election could very well be the beginning of the end for the GOP (which really doesn't deserve that name any more).
DeleteFaux is calling her the new "darling" and new "king-maker." DANG the new Palin!
ReplyDeletePalin unleashed a monster. She won't stay happy if Joni steals all her thunder. Jealousy will reign.
DeleteJoni has already stolen Palin's thunder. They are comparing her to Palin. Joni has attained far more in her life than has Sarah Palin and she was elected to the U.S. Congress - something Palin will never obtain in the rest of her life!
DeleteBy the by - I'd never have voted for Joni and I assuredly didn't vote for Palin for quitter gov of Alaska! After having watched her in the debate w/Halcro knew she wasn't smart enough to handle the position. Was actually shocked she won!
Wanna bet Sarah will claim, she discovered Joni and made her what she is !!!!
DeleteAfter more than 50 failed attempts to repeal or neutralize Obamacare, Boehner said the House would vote again in 2015 to scuttle the law, even if Democrats can still block it in the Senate and it faces a certain veto from Obama.
ReplyDeleteThe House will then move quickly to eliminate individual parts of the law, Boehner said, including a tax on medical devices, a provision that Americans without health insurance must pay a tax penalty and a 15-member healthcare payment advisory board expected to launch next year that has been derided by Republicans as a "death panel."
-Reuters
I watched her acceptance speech and was appalled. She was horrible! That constant laugh drove me nuts. I'm surprised w/her background that she's gotten away w/it for so long, IF this her normal way of speech making. She's going to be interesting to watch, especially with some of the things she has already said. Boy oh boy, the U.S. Congress has its hands full of weird folks this go around!
ReplyDeleteDo these fucking Republicans care at all for the Americans that have finally received medical insurance and are happy with it?
ReplyDeleteThey are going to continue screwing themselves and will not make the White House in eons.
The country is turning more dark than white, the senior congressmen will die off (thank god!) and they are going to fall more and more downward in the hole they are digging themselves.
You go President Obama and kick them in the balls! They are not going to work with you - they will continue their obstruction. Get done what you need to do! And, remember the Americans people support you! A very minor part of the voters participated in this mid-term election.
I think they're raising the bar on "Stupid" by even mentioning Sarah Palin as some kind of barometer for stupid. Guess they didn't take a close look at the people she attracts and preaches to. She gets no mail because they're still licking the stamps and nothing's sticking.
ReplyDeleteSlap a wig on her, have her do Seinfeld's "Elaine Dancing" while squealing err braying er whatever that sound was and you've got comedic gold.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but does Joni Ernst have a big gay husband like Marcus?
ReplyDeleteJoni Ernst is the new " It Girl " for the Republicans.
ReplyDeletePalin is old news.
Ernst served in Iraq , while Palin continues to pimp herself on shirtless warrior Track's alleged combat service.
Ernst has legitimate college degrees as does her husband.
You may not agree with Ernst's positions, but, you can understand what language she is speaking by virtue of
her proper sentence structure and correct grammatical usage.
Ernst's teen age daughter is not with child or drunken and half dressed screaming the F and C word at law enforcement,
like Palin's inebriated brood.
Palin will soon have to strike out at Ernst in a frenzy of jealousy because she has been dethroned.
"Dear Pete D'Alessandro: Here's the 50 bucks I owe you. Thanks again for the mention...Sarah"
ReplyDeleteJoni said she needed a gun to protect herself against the government. Guess what, honey--You're now part of the government. She can shoot all the government employees she wants, under the proviso that she number one on her list, and the shot is fatal.
ReplyDeleteShe's actually been part of that government she needs to protect herself against for years (county auditor, National Guard) but isn't smart enough to see the big picture.
DeleteMeet your new craziest Republicans
ReplyDelete...Joni Ernst, IA-Sen: When it comes to the Senate, all connoisseurs of train wrecks in the making are expecting great things from the Sarah Palinesque Joni Ernst. A far-right conspiracy theorist who coasted through the election on reporter fluff pieces and stories of pig castration, Ernst will join—and perhaps top—the Senate contingent of Republican believers in all things conspiratorial and insane. Think Michele Bachmann, but in the Senate. Think your crazy grandpa and his forwarded chain letters, but in the Senate. Think that person who accosts you at lunch one day with their theories of how Agenda 21 will be allowing cows to vote and forcing humans into tent cities—but in the actual Senate. Think Ted Cruz, but—well, think Ted Cruz. Ernst's campaign showed two and only two settings, either ducking the press like a hunted submarine or engaging in word salads that rival the best Palinisms. We expect great things from her...

Glad that's not my party!!
Ernst has all kinds of chops and cred Sarah Palin could never hope to possess. I don't buy the "less intelligent" label of what's-his-name D'Alessandro. The woman's already proven herself far superior in that regard. Her 2o+ years in uniform show she's not a quitter, either. And she can handle firearms, for real. Or for rill, for rill, for rill, to parrot Bristol in her faux abstinence ad.
ReplyDeleteBut Ernst has a similar shrill craving for attention, the same clawing look-at-me ambition, and a ludicrously implausible wig.
She's potentially more harmful to the nation than Sarah Palin.Scary thought. We shall see. Gryphen will be keeping an eye on her, I hope.
