TYT: Meet Joni Ernst, She's Got Balls, LOTS Of Them



"There is so little left in national politics to delight us. The candidates, for the most part, are scripted, strident and narrow people who betray their actual humanity at their own peril. The races are costly, vicious affairs. And Americans almost never approve of an elections outcome once the winners settle into office.

But the last five years have brought one big bright spot to the political circus: Because of the viral nature of the Internet, the ads are just getting better. The latest case in point is a new 30-second jewel by Joni Ernst, who has an uphill climb to replace retiring Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin. Her pitch: I can castrate pigs so I am the perfect conservative for Iowa to send to the Senate."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Too bad she and her party didn't worry about "cutting spending" and "balancing the budget" when Bush and Cheney lied us into a multi-trillion dollar war costing 100,000s of lives.

Too bad.
