..and when you're done mopping, hit the bathrooms and make them sparkle

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.”

Which is to say .... NOT.
War On Conservative Women!
For clarification- your comment was directed at Olberman... eh? My apologizes.
Olberman is nobodys ICON.
I know it you know it and best of all he knows it.Thought and hoped he was gone.
He is hanging on be what my Maw used to call,”The skin of his teeth”.
To think Keith Olbermann was too liberal, mouthy, arrogant even for MSNBC.

I think the poster is referring to a fact that Olbie went to the agricultural school at Cornell with the lower admissions requirements but prefers to say he went to Ivy League Cornell.
I believe he is referring to Krazy Keith’s controversial claim regarding his college bona fides at Cornell
Yep, I was a kid in the 60’s, in Illinois. Count me in. We each had one pair of shoes.
there are few people i deplore more than olberman, but even i am growing tired of hearing about pig castrating and breadbags over her shoes on the school bus.
i am a fan of joni, but its time to move on and not speak to people like a third grade school teacher.
Why? I had never heard of putting bags over shoes. I grew up in MS on a farm. I walked from the door out the yard to the bus. Then whn we got to school we only had about 50 or so feet to the door. Back then we wore bobby socks and saddle oxfords. The good ole days.
Who knew the humorless lib even knew the famous Yorkshiremen sketch.
Anyway, he embarrassed himself. Joni rocks.
Bread didn’t come in plastic bags until 1969. Before that it was either wrapped in waxed paper or cellophane.
To save for college, I worked the morning biscuit line at Hardees.
Thank goodness for people who do that!
The greatest Olbermann impersonation ever was done by another far left fool but he nailed Keiff.

Olbermann has about as much integrity as Adolph Hitler.
I took my shoes off and walked to school barefoot. It wasn’t quite as cold in Virginia.
Keith Olbermann? who is that? name is vaguely familiar... j.k.
1969 is still the ‘60s...right? I was born in 1962. Maybe it was the ‘60s & ‘70s, but the point is, that it was very common when I was growing up. One of those “didn’t everybody?” moments. No one in our town would think it strange back then. Even adults would often put bags over their church shoes and take the bags off after entering the church, leaving the bags in the back of the church for later.
