Liberal icon and current ESPN host Keith Olbermann took to Twitter Wednesday night to callously mock Sen. Joni Ernst for her growing up in a poor working family in Red Oak, Iowa.

Ernst spoke of her childhood when she gave the Republican response to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address:

“As a young girl, I plowed the fields of our family farm. I worked construction with my dad. To save for college, I worked the morning biscuit line at Hardees.

“We were raised to live simply, not to waste. It was a lesson my mother taught me every rainy morning.

“You see, growing up, I had only one good pair of shoes. So on rainy school days, my mom would slip plastic bread bags over them to keep them dry.

“But I was never embarrassed. Because the school bus would be filled with rows and rows of young Iowans with bread bags slipped over their feet.

“Our parents may not have had much, but they worked hard for what they did have.”

Liberal Hypocrisy never stops......what a turd Olbermann is!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I thought that part of Olbermann’s deal to get back on ESPN was that he had to keep his mouth shut when it came to his whack-job, asinine Liberal viewpoints?

[Paladin2]

So says the graduate of a major agricultural college....

Ob is an idiot. Why did Fox Sports Mid West ever hire him? I’m a dedicated Cardinal fan and when that moron comes on, I have to change the channel. I’m thankful though. he isn’t on that often.

The left also has reservations about many forms of speech.

They’re the New Establishment.

Keith Olbermann is like he is, because nobody ever took him outside, and REALLY kicked his A$$. Same with Bill Maher, and a few others.

[Steamburg]

Already, they see her as Presidential Timber. It may be a very bad year at the trough.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Liberals only like poor people who stay on the plantation and don’t get all uppity thinking they can do better without the help of nanny government.

He was born on third base and thought he hit a triple.

[SpaceBar]

I could have sworn that Olbermann died a year or two ago of a heroin overdose.

[Farmer Dean]

Well,Keith is a has-been broadcast personality,while Joni is a brand new US Senator.Who’s having the more successful life?

[freepersup]

State your business pilgrim. What are you implying? I’m no Ernst supporter, per se... but I do play a freeper detective on TV. Spit it out. Own up to your post.

Stay classy, Keith!

The patient, frugal redneck. Makes the liberal’s head explode.

We put bread bags over our shoes in rainy/snowy weather in Illinois when I was a kid back in the ‘60s. Stores used paper bags back then, so there weren’t as many plastic bags around.

[HiTech RedNeck]

awwww he’s JEALOUS

[Fred Hayek]

Stay in your place, peasant!

[Sarah Barracuda]

Because liberals only care about poor people who vote Democrat..otherwise this is what they really think of people

I was a kid in the 60's, in Illinois. I'll vouch for that.

He has been like this since his subway door injury in 1980.

He isn't allowed to drive a car.
