CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (CNN) -- Hillary Clinton swiped at Republican Senate hopeful Joni Ernst on Wednesday for canceling a meeting with the Des Moines Register editorial board last week, telling a labor audience that not answering "tough questions" is "disqualifying" in the state.
"I have concluded that Iowans take politics really seriously," Clinton said. "You test your candidates, you actually force them to be the best they can be and they have to be willing to answer the tough questions."
Democrat Bruce Braley "has been willing to do this, and his opponent has not," she said.

As I understand it, the whole deal was fairly simple. A purchaser buys both sides of a commodities transaction. Post-record the transactions so that Hillary gets the "winner" and Tyson gets the "loser". Tyson, who was already involved in commodities deals, just uses the losses to offset some profitable trades, so our tax dollars actually got used to buy the Arkansas governor.
One huge red-flag which would have gotten anyone else investigated was the activity which netted quick gains and then immediately ceased right at the $100K amount. So I guess we know what Bill's purchase price was then. What person who has that much success in commodities trading doesn't keep trading?
This reminds me of my all-time favorite political joke:
What do you get when you cross a crooked politician with a crooked lawyer?
Chelsea Clinton.
C’mon now, lets be honest. Chelsea Hubbell.
She and Web’s daughter were supposedly shot up in Bosnia. But there were too many other liberals around to claim it wasn’t true.
True but it kills the joke.
