AP, Politico Attempt Damage Control for Iowa Democrat's 'Farmer' Insult | NewsBusters

AP, Politico Attempt Damage Control for Iowa Democrat's 'Farmer' Insult | NewsBusters: "Here's an example of a gaffe which the left-loving press can't ignore — at least online.

Democratic Congressman and U.S. Senate candidate Bruce Braley of Iowa spoke of the mortal dangers the nation faces if Republicans win back the Senate in November at a trial lawyers' fundraiser in Texas in January. Among those dangers is the near certainty that "a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school" will be put in charge of the Senate's Judiciary Committee. That "farmer" happens to be five-term Hawkeye State GOP Senator Chuck Grassley. Jennifer Jacobs at the Des Moines Register's Iowa Politics Blog appears to have filed the first establishment press report on Braley's belittling, and revealed an important point which others covering the story are conveniently ignoring."
