Branstad keeps ‘pink slime’ in the spotlight

Hasn't the Iowa Cattlemen's Association realized that the longer Gov. Terry Branstad speechifies about “pink slime,” or lean, finely textured beef, the more publicity it gets? Without Branstad, consumers would have forgotten the issue weeks ago.
Iowa cattlemen are getting milked. Instead of campaign contributions, they ought to pay Branstad to keep still. It's embarrassing.
