S & P Downgrades Iowa’s IQ
Straw Poll ‘Alarms’ Ratings Agency

AMES, IOWA (The Borowitz Report) – Calling the results of today's Iowa
straw poll “alarming,” Standard and Poor’s took the unprecedented action
of downgrading Iowa’s IQ.

While the effects of such an extraordinary measure are hard to predict,
experts say the IQ downgrade could result in Iowans having difficulty
completing sentences or operating a television remote.

“This downgrade would be very upsetting to Republicans in Iowa,” said an
S & P spokesman. “Fortunately, there’s no way they’ll understand it.”

The winner in the straw poll, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn), gave a
rousing victory speech that was simulcast in English across the state.

But there may be tough sledding ahead for Rep. Bachmann, as a new poll
shows her losing support to Texas Governor Rick Perry among voters who
describe themselves as morons.

Gov. Perry kicked off his presidential campaign today in South Carolina,
unveiling a new stump speech in which he promised to repeal the
twentieth century.

Iowans like Ethanol and Farm subsidies or rather Big Ag subsidies,
Illegal Aliens, and elimination of social security, Medicare for other
states, cutting Veterans Benefits. They like draining potholes and
eliminating wild lands. They have a new cropm of Idiots from California
and so now they like legalizing dope and sanctuary cities for Illegals.
Iowa is not traditional America. Exactly what Big Ag and Wall Street
likes. Exactly what Bachmann represents except the dopem she says.

Perhaps on the Republican side. Iowa went for Obama in 2008, 54% to
45%.
