When a Political Ad Opens with 'I Grew Up Castrating Hogs,' You Know It's Going to be Great

Opening and exit question: Is Joni Ernst’s ad for her Senate campaign in Iowa the best of the year, or the best of the decade?

This is just…wonderful.

I grew up castrating hogs on an Iowa farm. So in Washington, I’ll know how to cut pork…

Followed later by:

Washington’s full of big spenders. Let’s make ’em squeal!

Yes. Let’s.

My guess is that Democrats, since they don’t like farmers, hate this ad.
