The extreme traveller and one-term Senator from Iowa Joni Ernst has added another destination to her 99-county tour of Iowa**…VietNam. I am sure that Joni’s constituents had listed 'Joni going to VietNam' as one of their top three important issues. That is, after they made sure that she had gone to every Iowan’s County and LOOKED at it.
Some might say that she has not completed her 99-county tour and should not be excused early, but that's just mean.
In other travel news, Joni went to Washington D.C. once or twice and strode purposefully into the Senate Chamber.
But this trip to VietNam is a first for Joni – a Congressional Junket. We used to make fun of these trips as pork. Why? Because there is NO FREAKING REASON for six US Senators to go to Ho Chi Minh City all at the same time. And there’s even less of a reason for Joni Ernst to go to VietNam. Maybe she wanted to look at more farming equipment. You got me.
Wait, wait, an image is coming clear in my crystal ball. Joni is going to VietNam to make contacts for her REAL bosses, the chemical corporations. Because after all, Asia has not had enough green revolution Monsanto ADM Cargill Dow crud spread over its farmlands.
Joni, who promised to CUT PORK out of the Federal Budget, (by makinem squeal, ya know) is covering herself hip deep in it already.

*Thanks for the concept, Hunter! If you have already designated America's Dumbest Senator, I will surrender the title.
**Wait... Whaaaa? Iowa has 99 counties? Heck, California only has 57 counties, and it has 10x as many people and 20x as much land. Why do people in the Midwest say they are against big government? Why do Iowa and California both have the same number of Senators? SMH.
