I'm going to borrow "If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for everything" and put it right next to "You should keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out" in my Aphorism File.
“Is Joni Ernst trying to lose her Iowa Senate race? Does she hate herself, and hate her job, and hate having to pretend that everything is fine, just fine with an orange shitgibbon as the avatar of her party?”
She’s a Republican in Iowa. This is the place that gave us Chuck Grassley and Steve King so it all sounds pretty normal for that state.
Reminds me of an infamous (albeit unverified) Henry Kissinger story.
Kissinger once assigned a significant report to a staffer. Kissinger accepted the report, held onto it for a few days, called the staffer into his chamber and asked in his inimitable voice: “Is this the best you can do?” Staffer mumbles something about citations, yadda yadda, and resubmits. A few days pass and Kissinger repeats the question. Beleaguered staffer insists that yes, this is the best I can do (this may have had another iteration).

Much better!

OMG! Looks like only Obama supporters get life boats! And is that JFK, Jr.??

That's one of the lines of the Strangelove script that I'm sure the great comic novelist Terry Southern wrote.

Fucktose is an unusual disaccharide that one uses to adulterate a date’s drink to increase chances of an amorous encounter later that evening.

Kissinger replied: ”In that case, I’ll read it.”
