The 'Roaming Noem.' SD gov Kristi Noem's taxypayer funded travel expenses get a look. (Page 1/2)

It's hardly news when one of America's 50 state governors is being scrutinized for something or other, but when it connects with a TV-ad icon like Travelocity's "Roaming Gnome", it can't be ignored.

MSNBC's Joy Reid clearly had a "ball" with it tonight. Here's the first two minutes. There was more after the commercial break.

There goes Kristi Noem, o'er the buffalo's home.
Where dear, are you going today?
They say it's absurd, and are passing the word,
that the skies are your playground today.

Noem, Noem on a plane.
Where dear, are you going today?
The left is perturbed, with the mentality of a herd,
and they're crying and pouty all day.

A very popular and effective elected official.

Better start smearing her now, says the media, she might be a threat to the New World Order.

rinse, you're such a good little tool, so easily led around....

I made it very clear: "Roaming Noem" deserves a moment in the spotlight here in the single category of artful text publishing.

Why?

Because I say it does.

If anything really dramatic were to come of this Kristi Noem's taxpayer funded travel expenses, that would just be "gravy" for me. I don't expect it.

She's on a jet! How can she rush more?

Over the Red River Valley,
she’d sit in that airplane and fly.
And run her fingers through seventy million dollars,
and wonder “Joe, must every well we’ve drilled go dry?”
They was friends , Noem and the gnome.
Like a garden gnome waiting for a plane,
like a garden gnome waiting for a plane.

"Exclusive: GOP governor Kristi Noem, potential Trump successor, used state aircraft for tens of thousands of dollars in political travel"

Newly unearthed flight logs show South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem used a state airplane to travel to right wing political events around the country, a revelation that has state lawmakers [including state Republican lawmaker Taffy Howard, cited in this report] questioning whether she violated a state law forbidding political and personal use of the aircraft.

The "Roaming Noem" epithet does not appear anywhere in this article.

Much like Warhol's wearisome work, your writing is remarkably redundant.

If I thought this was some kind of scheme to embarrass the governor of South Dakota, or even worse, deprive South Dakota residents of their governor's extraordinary beneficence, I wouldn't be here. Dan Newhauser's article in the Raw Story is a report, like any other report. The difference is the photo image of the governor's air travel log.

I've done my homework. I trust Dan Newhauser. I think you can too.
