# I Got The Tweets Like Grassley

Of course the big news of the day is that Santorum dropped out.

Enough of that, though, and on to more important stuff. It seems like it's Iowa week over at The Colbert Report. Last night Stephen highlighted Representative Steve King. Tonight he focused on Senator Chuck Grassley. Apparently, Chuck Grassley uses Twitter.

"Constituents askd why i am not outraged at PresO attack on supreme court independence. Bcause Am ppl r not stupid as this x prof of con law"

"Norwalk HS 41students issues STOP Gasprices AfgNistan gaymArriage Iowa economy F16"

"3"

"P"

According to Senator Grassley, "I love Tweeting, but I don't like to type." That makes as much sense as Stephen saying something like, "I love cooking but I hate to chop." Oops. He did say that and then brought out his version of chunky salsa to prove it.

Does anyone know what happens next? You guessed it. Stephen starts tweeting.

Caterpillars - who would have thought they would be so important in the upcoming election? Reince Priebus, that's who. Actually, it plays into the whole war on women thing that's going on in politics and helps explain why Obama is at 57% among registered women voters while Romney trails at 38%. And so Stephen introduced a new segment, I mean segwoment called "Lady Heroes." Note: Lady Heroes are all men because conservative men feel comfortable speaking for women, Stephen tells us. After all, it's not a uterYou, it's a uterUs.

Tonight's Lady Hero is from Wisconsin. It's none other than Governor Scott Walker. He just recently repealed the Equal Pay Enforcement Act. But people shouldn't worry all that much because money is more important for men than it is to women. How do we know this? Because Wisconsin State Senator Glenn Grothman says so. However, he could be wrong about that. At some point, he needs to do some research and see if what he is saying is fact or opinion.

"We're Losing Our Minds." Don't worry, I don't mean you. That's the title of the book by tonight's guest, Richard Hersh. Stephen asked what's broken about higher education. I guess you could say the answer is that it needs to be more educational. Students need to read more, write more, do more rigorous study, and push harder. They shouldn't just attend college. I would say he is looking for well-rounded individuals with lofty goals. We have lowered our standards from 30 to 40 years ago.

I don't want to point any fingers at anybody, so I'm not going to even think about the people at the beginning of the show and contrast them with the guest at the end of the show. Also, I would mention that it was really tricky trying to proofread tonight for any spelling errors. Whew!
