Oh, Sweet Victory of Joy and Ice Cream
Y’all, I have no idea how we got this lucky.
Guess who will be giving the GOP response to the State of the Union Address?
Joni “Make ‘um Squeal” Ernest. I wonder she’s gonna castrate hogs on live teevee! Hell, I’d pay money to see that if John Boehner was first in line.
I wonder if she knows it’s traditionally been the kiss of death.
More importantly, I wonder if she knows what a kiss is?
What is SO repulsive about this is Iowa still thinks it has influence on national elections. Along with 3 other states, which represent 4% of the electoral college votes, it is a throwback to old style politics, which stink as bad as those pigs she says she castrated.
1It always amazes me how successfully the Republican Party, the servants of Wall Street and the 0.1%, successfully convince voters that the Democratic Party are the real elitists.
There’s a cultural thread in the United States in which contempt for the “eggheads” and the city slickers colors how facts are viewed. This is why conservatives are so determined to shut down Elizabeth Warren – she is pushing past that model and showing the average voter how they’re being destroyed by laws implementing conservative ideology.
2I doubt Joni will score the PETA vote.
3She’s a vulgarian of the first rank as well.
The fact checkers are going to be really busy
4What else does she know how to castrate? Is she married?
5Vlad Putin will be so proud.
6I’m a city girl who’s live in the country all of my adult life. I know gelding is a part of animal husbandry. I’ve been around a few stud horses, and geldings are much less of a bother. I know that vets try to make the procedure as painless as possible since animals do remember the pain and become troublesome patients thereafter. That anyone would even find the idea of causing pain to an animal (“make it squeal”) a positive idea for a slogan is loathsome. And what’s with the R fascination with castration. I recall the last time the Rs took control of Congress one expressed the notion that once the sack is removed from some animals they be come much more manageable and nicer to have around. Next time the tide turns over, I want someone to call for elephant testicles to be on the menu so I can listen to these idiots whine about how mean the Ds are. And then I want the Ds to follow through with the procedure.
7I hope her speech will be less of a response, and more of what she seems to be familiar with, a re-butt-al. Work your strong suite Joni.
8Joni Ernst, one more reason to anticipate our Congress varmints being a source of embarrassment to us.
2016, 2018 & 2020 – three elections in which to clean up the mess. Vote, vote, and vote; that’s the best broom we own.
9I hear she has a laugh like Arnold Horshak from Welcome Back Kotter.
10This gal has provided us folks around D.C. with the best and nastiest laughter! Sorry, but we just can’t help it! She has certainly earned the moniker Senator Castrator! The R’s recently had a Senator Centerfold and guess where the staple was! Now they have Senator Castrator! Well, if thats the best they can do . . .

It’s worse than Horshak’s laugh. Horshak sounds like an asthmatic.
12p.s this is 29 seconds of your life you can never get back.
13e platypus onion, thanks for the warning, but already had the misfortune of hearing her acceptance speech at the time she gave it. To be honest, I didn’t hear a word she said. Was way too fixated on determining the cause of her inappropriate/bizarre/deranged bray.
My sincere wish is that Stephen Colbert makes a special return to Comedy Central to share his reaction, after she delivers her SOTU rebuttal.
14Gross.
15Oh she knows how to kiss … the back end of a navel
16Sigh.
17Well, you’ve got to hand it to the Publicans. They don’t hide their freaks and loonies– they shove them right up front.
18Well, if we can’t hear from Louie, it’ll have to be Joni.
19A strange choice, though when the Repubs need a woman and/or minority they do have a limited field to choose from.
Does anyone know who made this brilliant decision? I’m just curious.
20I don’t think I can stomach listening to Ernst at all. What I am gearing up for is next September’s event of Pope Francis speaking before Congress, knowing what he has said recently about service and conscience to the needy. Which Republican will be chosen to call out “liar!”
21I suspect that she will show us how to castrate an elephant!
22Oh Lynn-ask and ye shall receive. 🙂
Her selection was made jointly by Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who announced their decision Thursday at the GOP congressional retreat in Pennsylvania.
23AH HA, JJ, Boehner has no balls…He lost them to Eric Cantor and still hasn’t found them…
24This will put Jon Stewart in hog heaven!
25Thanks, e platypus onion.
They had to have water at hand for Marco Rubio. I wonder what they’re planning to hand to Joni. Clippers?
26Funny as this is going to be, I don’t think I can watch her after the SOTU. It would be like having a good nourishing meal and following it up with distilled skunk cabbage.
27Michele Bachmann left a big pair of clown shoes to fill. Think of the comedians that were going to be laid off for lack of material after Bachmann left. Thank God for Joni Ernest!
28Politics used to be about the the very intelligent rising into positions of power, but not doing so well a bringing the ignorant along. Now a backlash against the intelligent by the ignorant is understandable. BUT it seems to me we now have a party, the GOP, which has moved from merely anti-intellectual to pro-ignorant. How can this happen? Do the voting ignorant so outnumber the voting-intelligent? Or do the intelligent just vote in fewer numbers than the ignorant. WASF!
29You have to check out #BreadBagsShoes on Twitter for some hilarity. Liberals are just plain funnier.
30Should read #BreadBagShoes.
31Tell me, JJ, does The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon used as much hairspray on its clients as Joni used on her helmet head? And those streaks of gray – didn’t see any of that in her campaign photos. Is the new hair color intended to convey an image of wisdom?
