I don't see the political wisdom in insulting elderly farmers in Iowa. Not a brilliant strategy to win their votes. This guy is not ready for prime time.

someone whos been literally fighting tort reform for 30 years in a visible and public way on the Senate JudiciaryThis is the type A## that the Congress does not need and we should to protect the nation from. Scum ambulance chasers do not need to apply as a candidate for high office.

Not sure why it matters if Grassley has a law degree or not.
Constitution doesn't require one, and by my count, there's too many asshole lawyers in Congress and the White House!

His heartfelt apology? “I’m sorry that was caught on videotape.”

With very few exceptions, using asshole and lawyer in the same sentence is redundant!

All of the good lawyers are dead.

I have a tiny bit of dirt on Braley. Believe it or not, I thought he was a repub. Now that I know better, I’ll be making a call to a newspaper. I work for the G., and I know at least one Wash Post reporter....
To: La Lydia
If Sen. Grassley can use this "fighting tort reform for 30 years" comment in a positive way this can decimate this lawyer before his run for Congress can start.
Tort reform equals lower medical costs (malpractice), lower insurance costs, and less money to the carpetbagger democratic party.

of course if Bruce Braley were a Republican this story would have more life to it.I hear Grassley is popular in Iowa. The story could have more legs there than nationally. If it puts Iowa into play as a possible Senate pick-up it would be a useful gaff. It is nice to see a Dem putting foot in mouth for a change.

I remember a state senator in New York who was also a farmer. When Medicaid was proposed in the State Senate, he said it would bankrupt the state and was one of the few to vote against it. It eventually became so costly, it had to be revised.

As a member of the bar in ny, this attitude is common among white liberals.
To: La Lydia
If the GOP is smart enough to put this in ads everywhere. DESTROY BRALEY!
CLOVIS FOR CONGRESS!
To: Liaison
Agree, but my point was that this guy must be dumb as dirt. He just insulted about a third of the voters in Iowa, the very people he wants to represent in the Senate.
