This Joni Ernst "rebuttal" is going to destroy her.

[Archae]

Someone from Ernst's hometown is going to call the "breadbags" story the horseshit that it is, and Ernst will make a halfass "apology" at most.

1. Not sure.

Doing a google and finding bread bag sorties, bot about Ernst, though.

2. It's stupid but it won't "destroy" her.. the Bachmann type supporters love that crap.. doesn't

matter if it's true. It's the sociopathic nature of her lies that have them really beaming.

4. Word!

[FBaggins]

5. Plus she had five years before the seat's next election

It would be pretty hard for even the most bald-faced lie to destroy her at this point

3. With whom?

Chuck Todd? FOX "News"?

6. It was an "I can see Russia from my house" moment

She can either be the "aw shucks" farm girl who is every pig's worst nightmare (Tweety said something like "She's Annie Oakley, everybody loves her&quot or she can go down the Sarah Palin / Michele Bachmann batshit crazy highway.

Even though she tanked with Republicans, Democrats and Independents, I think that tomorrow will bring out the spin merchants for damage control, calling her performance "brave" and "gutsy" and "warm" and "genuine."

They TRIED that with Palin, but the crazy gene wins every time in the long run. That was the best part of the Palin movie...her increasing anger, hostility and belligerence as Steve Schmidt tried to "salvage" what was left of her credibility. The harder he tried, the harder she lashed out at him.

7. George will and Juan Whatshisname were calling her a star over on Fox

Let the spin begin

8. i think she might have been appealing in the 1980s with those who liked Reagan

but those people are dying off.

the democrat who ran against her lost because he said and did some really stupid things .

9. We didn't do breadbags for our shoes but our 4th/5th grade teacher made sure that

any school books we took home were well protected with a WonderBread wrapper.

Also, Ernst is one to watch...she didn't get the rebuttal 'gig' for nothing.

[Brother Buzz]

10. You were living in tall cotton

My books got the Safeway® paper sack treatment; we made do with what we had.

11. Tweety must be off te meds again.

15. Let's not forget that he saw a "sunny nobility" in George W. Bush!

12. Can't wait for Saturday Night Live's take on this.

(mocking chant) "Bread-bag, bread-bag, bread-bag" etc.

[Vinca]

13. It must have been gourmet bread since the family was getting $$$$$$ in farm subsidies.

Oops . . . the secret's out. Joni's a "taker."

[dembotoz]

14. bread bags.....bank bags...... shes confused--so long ago

16. "Senator Ernst described herself, her friends and family as the type of people...

...Republicans didn't applaud for when the President spoke of addressing their needs." -- FB comment
