Iowa House Speaker Christopher Rants found a state for Iowa to emulate: Ohio. Speaker Rants, issuing a press release through the Iowa Republican Party, actually claims Ohio is the beau ideal of state government. The Buckeye State's Republican Governor, Bob Taft, Speaker Rants effusively praises as being "pro business." Look for yourself at iowagop.org. Just how out of touch with reality can Speaker Rants actually be.
