Hard to Get Respect

For John, BLUF:  Young Luke is just 29, so maybe we should cut him some slack.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

So the new US Senator from Iowa is Iowa National Guard Lieutenant Colonel Joni Ernst.  She also happens to be a farmer, raising pigs.  Which leads MSNBC Reporter Luke Russert to tweet the following:

Joni Ernst's meteoric rise continues.  This time last year she was an unknown pig farmer, on Tues she will deliver GOP SOTU response.

If she were a Democrat she would be on her way to being a Presidential Candidate in 2020.  Based on samples from recent history.

Good shooting, Luke.

Hat tip to the Instapundit.
