Seth Meyers works off community service (or just does a good deed) by quickly hitting the funniest highlights of the political invasion of the Iowa State Fair last weekend. In an effort to appear human and relatable, the hopefuls gamely fought heat-stroke, fried food and nauseating fair rides to win the hearts of the folks.
As a clearly exasperated Jeb! pointedly remarked, “You can’t just lob it in – fly in on a helicopter, you’ve gotta be here.” It was worth it, too! In a poll, Iowa fair goers placed politicians far down the list of preferred attractions, lagging behind livestock and a pig made of butter.
Anyone can give free helicopter rides, but only Ben Carson did the inexplicable to the uncomprehending – and did it for an eternity in the broiling sun. In this MUST SEE clip, Carson held tens of tens stupefied, as he explained – in excruciating detail, how vocal waves are transported via vibratory waves to the brain, where they are received by neurons and Klingons and bounced by shock waves to waiting depilatories and arterial highways, where they are then recognized by multi-syllabic technological techno-lingo. Even CSPAN drifted off. The man has jello for brains and they let him operate on them!
Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley and of course snarky Jeb! were all there – but a local historian verifies that Mitt Romney still holds the title as ‘worst blue jean wearer’ ever seen at the Iowa State Fair and possibly anywhere. That’s something money can’t buy, Mitt.
Turning to a few bored kids waiting for a ‘copter ride for affirmation, although I’m no more certain of the context of the remark, than they were; Trump announced: “I think our people have no idea what’s happening.”
. At last, I agree with Trump. Have you seen his poll numbers?!
