Or he could have done the SSS. Snap neck, stew pot and shut up.

Why did the chicken wander onto democrat Braley’s vacation property?

There’s a good joke or two here somewhere. If only I could think of one.

I suppose litigation is what trial lawyers do best, but one wonders how such rank pettiness will be perceived by voters in his home state:

They will never hear about it because the story will be spiked by the news organizations.

Maybe it was a Tea Party chicken...

I hope he calls upon the chicken to testify. The chicken would make him look even more stupid... the cluck.

Naturally, they had to throw in a snark about Romney. I don’t recall Romney suing anybody over a wandering chicken.

Why did the Chicken cross the road?

To irritate the Liberal...

Chickens coming home to roost.

What a retard! And I say that with all mental retardation examples in mind! The man must be mentally reatrded, just like all liberals.

Well, IA is known for choosing some of the worst of the worst, and not just in their caucuses either.

I don't know if this guy has a chicken phobia, or a lawn so immaculate that one chicken could poop it into a state that only mere constituents should endure. In the first case, he could have just said, "Pauline, I'd really like you to keep your chicken(s) out of our yard. We're alektorophobes." Done and done. In the second case, he must be unaware of what local wildlife in general does when he's not outside scanning for (non-elitist) turds and thinking up new ways of being a pain.

I grew up poor and only got invited to plebeian cabins where a chicken in the yard would cause someone to say, "Huh! One of so-and-so's chickens is out. We'd better herd it back." Beats the hell out of having Mr. I-Went-to-Law-School getting the vapors and threatening litigation.
