Reality Check

The state has a $1.4 billion shortfall..some would call it a deficit…

People like me call it a big f’in problem…

Let’s take a look at what some Iowa leaders are up to and talking about in the midst of this mess…

First up…Chet Culver…

This meandering idiot continues to ride around the state on trains…saying we need train travel to get Iowans to Chicago…

Shit man…

If Iowans keep losing their jobs and houses…they won’t have any money to go to Chicago by train..let alone a car…

What’s your obesession with trains?? Most people here in the Saloon wish you showed the passion for the budget and Iowa’s economy that you seem to have for trains…or twinkies…

Next…Bob Vander Plaats…

As you all know…Vander Plaats is a frequent winner of the Ass Clown award here in the Saloon..but he really earned it and more this week…

The guy has spent the last couple weeks in Europe…while he was gone…

Terry Branstad became a candidate…

The state admitted their budget was in even worse shape…

A massive scandal erupted and grew in the Culver administration over Hollywood tax credits…

Butttttt…..Super Plotz is back…and what’s his first foray into the news cycle?

He goes to the Iowa Capitol…has a press conference..and…

Is endorsed by the head of the NAACP who talks about racial preferences and hiring practices in state government…

So..Super Plotz thinks there aren’t enough blacks employed in state government? Culver discriminated in his hiring practices? Huh?

I was more comfortable with your candidacy Bob when the only suspect hiring practices among your supporters were all those young boys hired to work at Pizza Ranch back in the day…

Next up…Christian Fong…

Pssssttt….check the phone traffic between Muscatine and Des Moines…

We have a pool going here on how long it will be before your biggest supporter and campaign manager jump ship…

Get out of the race and save yourself some degree of self respect…

Later,

Al…
