Attacks on Franken don’t suit Grassley

Leave it to very senior Sen. Chuck Grassley to attack Mike Franken for supposedly dissing rural Iowans. Mike Franken is rural Iowa. He grew up in Lebanon, Iowa in a town of less than 50. He left to serve in the Navy and lives in Sioux City today.
This type of opponent swiftboating has been Grassley's cover for not working for Iowans with disabilities, or protecting a woman's right to choose, and blocking Supreme Court nominations when it suited him. Iowans should be asking, who does Chuck Grassley think he is?
