Retiring Senator Tom Harkins (D-IA), campainging for the Democratic nominee to succeed himself, said about the Repuboican nominee Jody Ernst that she would be the wrong person to represent Iowa, "even if she is as attractive as Taylor Swift."
When chastised by everyone that he should not have made a coment about her appearance, Harkins replied:
"I know I shouldn't have [said it] . . . but I'm only human and I can make mistakes sometimes in how I say something."Perhaps, if he were a cad, that would not get him off the hook. But Harkins is a compassionate gentleman who has been for the farmers and the minorities and the poor people of this country for a long and distinguished career in the senate. We can cut him a little slack in his swan song.
