I guess he is wearing the same suit today and questions were still in the pocket.

In his rookie years, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and Sen. Roger Jepsen, R-Iowa, were not-so-affectionately referred to in the Ronald Reagan White House and Republican-held Senate as tweedle-dumb and tweedle-dumber.

The legend continues.

I thought it was some Russian crime organization or Russian money laundering group that had been newly added to the mix. It reminded me of Rosneft. Lolol. What an idiot.

How hard can it be to just say "rush-uh"? Where did he get the idea it was pronounced "rye-sha?'"

16. I wish he wasn't the senator for the state I reside in

I will not call him "my" senator because he doesn't even pretend to represent the people of Iowa, he represents the Republican party.

Sadly, so does the other Senator from Iowa and the guy who pretends to represent the 1st Congressional District.

I have no representation in congress, just a bunch of guys who rep their party first, themsleves second, rich donors third, and well, the people are WAAAYYY down that list. Probably not even in the first 100.
