| "Uh oh." |
Newly elected Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst will give the Republican response to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union next Tuesday.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) called Ernst, a folksy member of the National Guard and former state senator, the “perfect” messenger for the big night. She defeated Democratic candidate Bruce Braley in 2014, taking a seat held by Democrats for 30 years.
The announcement was made at a joint Republican House and Senate legislative retreat here Thursday.
“Americans voted for change and Sen. Ernst will explain what the new Congress plans to do and is already doing to change and what it is already doing to return Washington’s focus to the concerns of the middle class and away from the demands of the political class,” McConnell said.
Oh this should be good. I wonder what I will find to mock this year?
Does anybody remember Bobby Jindal's incredibly awkward walk to the podium in 2009?
Or Marco Rubio's dive for the water bottle in 2013?
But I've seen her talk, so I think she might be up to the job.
The "Queen of Castration", wonder if she will threatened to castrate the President.
ReplyDeleteJust another pathetic bid for the "woman vote." She's certainly not the best person for the job, not even close.
DeleteThe hogs have spread the word about the real Joni Ernst. No sane woman will buy what she has to sell. I have a feeling if we were to look into her past, there are issues.
DeleteHow could you forget Joni's acceptance speech last November?

Boy oh boy! The Republicans sure know how to choose them don't they? I watched the last thing she did and it was hilarious - her laugh is something to behold. I'm sure she has been told to practice her speech and not to laugh - just smile!
ReplyDeleteFlorida Rep. Curt Clawson To Give Tea Party's State Of The Union Response
ReplyDeleteIn July, Clawson made headlines when he mistook two U.S. government officials testifying at a House hearing as members of India's government.
"I'm familiar with your country; I love your country," Clawson said. "Anything I can do to make the relationship with India better, I'm willing and enthusiastic about doing so."
Clawson's obnoxious tone of voice just added to overall effect. I don't know how the officials kept a straight face.

The two officials, Nisha Biswal and Arun Kumar, are Americans who hold senior positions at the State Department and Commerce Department, respectively. Although both Biswal and Kumar were introduced as U.S. officials by the chairman of the Asia and Pacific subcommittee, Clawson repeatedly asked them questions about "your country" and "your government," in reference to the state of India.
Will there be portraits of Charles and David Koch behind Clawson when he makes his remarks? There should be; they've paid for him and his fellow teabaggers.
DeleteBeaglemom
I guess she already neutered the competition for the job.
ReplyDelete"A big pair of clown shoes to fill". Truer words were never spoken, er - written.
ReplyDeleteThe RNC's clown car is full to overflowing, and there is no end to the occupants. Sadly, these inmates are running our asylum of a country for the next 2 years. Thank FSM for President Obama.
Castration, good. Birth control, bad. Nothing like having a consistent message, I guess.
ReplyDeleteTouche.
DeleteOh...better yet. VIAGRA, free..birth control...unavailable to women.
DeleteI have an idea: instead of a 72-hour waiting period for abortions, how about a 72-hour waiting period for rape, Viagra purchases, and all male-initiated consensual sexual activities for which the man has not provided adequate proof of birth control and ability to financially support any procreated child for at least 18 years? IOW righties, let the men be the ones to produce the paperwork and quietly wait for 72 hours; then abortion might not be necessary.
DeleteLMAO!
ReplyDelete"Amazing" is more like "Hilarious".
ReplyDeleteHow dare they dis The First Lady Of The Outdoors and let a virgin Senator speak.
ReplyDeleteTara Connor is a complete airhead and Sarah is still wearing that sleeveless black straitjacket unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteSarah is wearing her trademark wombat wig. Good choice
ReplyDeleteThere has to be a toothless 'neck out there with a Guinness world record navel lint collection appearing in Amazing America with Sarah Palin in the future. It just screams Patriotic Hero!
DeleteThat would be me, dentures and turkey neck, and I can't stand her for what many of of live and she portrays to be one.
DeleteWow. It seems like the GOP can't decide between being Idiots on Parade or Corpora-religi-nuts Who Hate Women and Blah People.
ReplyDeleteAnd STILL people vote for these morans.
Sarah is like an aged Madame from the 60's. The 1860's. Tara Conner has some major junk in the trunk.
ReplyDeleteYou're watching it! I refuse to.
DeleteSarah had her Big Gulp, Mario had his water, please don't ISIS Miss Piggy.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to remember that, "Miss Piggy", any time I Tweet about Joni Ernst from now on...
DeleteActually, my favorite memory of of the now incarcerated Bob McDonnell and his little speech in the VA Gov's office in front of drooling fans. So, Joni is the 'next big thing?' Every single Repub tapped for this 'honor' has disappeared from the party. Please proceed, Ms. Castrator.
ReplyDeleteWhoa Sally! We still have Rubio! Gulp. Gulp!
DeleteYeah, but he's hardly ever even quoted any more. Nor is Cruz. Why didn't Teddy get this plum assignment? Or better yet, Chris Christie? I'm sure he will have some thoughts after the speech. They may be as lucid as a Palin diatribe, but he would fill the TV screen.
DeleteRubio is currently digging his own grave over Cuba.
DeleteTonight, after getting in my car after work to head home, I turned on the radio.
ReplyDeleteThe local station I had listened to for the morning traffic reports 12 hours ago, was now carrying Sean Hannity.
Normally, I would immediately
change channels and go to sports .
Hannity said he had breaking news, so, I stayed.
Some DC reporter said the breaking news was that Joni Ernst
would give the Republican response
to the president's SOU speech.
The reporter kiddingly-I assume -asked Hannity, if he thought Ernst would take about pig castrating in her response.
Hannity said " I hope so."
Really ? The Republican State of the Union response should be about pig castrating ???
Could Hannity get any dumber ? Or Republicans ?
Is Yee Haw Soooie Ernst the best they can do ?
Although, she is light years more intellectual and better groomed than Palin . So, there's that.
And there you have it. And idiots will vote it.
DeleteI work with 6th graders and these idiots remind me of the boys who will yuck it up at any mention of bodily functions or anatomical parts.
Delete"Ooohhh...she said 'castrate'...tee hee hee!!!!!"
Just juvenile.
If Hannity got any dumber, he wouldn't be able to get himself dressed in the morning.
Delete"Soooooooooieeeeee Ernst" That's a beautiful bit of wordsmithing there, if you came up with it....take a bow!
DeleteSomeone should offer Hannity a "rocky mountain oyster" meal.........maybe Joni will...........
ReplyDeleteSee there is no War on Women, we love women, look who we chose to give the rebuttal, a woman !!
ReplyDeleteThe Republicans sure didn't learn anything from 2008!
Wonder if Sarah called Jodi, told her Jodi owes her and has to let Sarah write her speech.
Can Sarah write? I think not.
DeleteWhere in blazes are these bombastic idiots coming from?
ReplyDeleteIt feels eerily like the Twilight Zone. Please change the channel.
I mostly blame the voter's or lack thereof.
Maybe she'll hackle like a witch, like when she won the election. She kept hackling like an evil witch.
ReplyDeleteHer laugh was constant, horrible and embarrassing. I couldn't believe how unpolished her performance was.
Deletenot to nit-pick, but I think the word you meant to use is: cackling
Deleteand yes....she most definitely has a nasty case of the cackles, and it's unpleasant enough to raise the hackles on a hog.
How can we forget Gov. Jindal; What a boob....
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cbsnews.com/news/bobby-jindal-takes-a-beating/
One wonders if we will get a primer on just how castrating hogs can relate to what Pres. Obama has planned for the next two years and how she and her fellow GOPers plan to...er...'cut the pork' out of his programs. Maybe it will be truly cringe worthy. But then, maybe the GOP will be cautious and have some ghost writers 'fix' what she has to say...
ReplyDeleteYeah, but she still won't have a clue about what she's saying just like the rest of the teabagging clowns.
DeleteIt's gonna be hard to beat the Rubio bottle dive.
ReplyDeleteSheesh
It's tough to be a Tea Bagger without proper hydration.
ReplyDeleteThis new thing of "rebutting" the State of the Union is complete idiocy and hugely disrespectful, which is why they do it. Can you imagine what the response would have been if Hillary had gotten in front of the camera's to "rebut" old Georgie?
ReplyDeleteThey should be embarrassed. Every time they do it I cringe on behalf of America for how the rest of the world is looking at us going WTF happened to you?
OTH, keep on digging that grave Republicans. Keep on putting people like Joni Ernst front and center. And keep that spotlight on how truly pathetic your party has become.
I have downloaded a pig squeal soundtrack to play the whole time she opens her mouth.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, joni. The GOP's attempt at reaching out to people of color and pig castrators. I said it before, and I'll say it again, wonder which earrings she'll wear and see if she shaves them or not.
