#BreadBags: Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa gives Twitter lots of fodder in State of the Union response

http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/ent-columns-blogs/stargazing/article7838844.html

Freshman Republican Sen. Joni Ernst from Iowa unintentionally fed the Twitter beast on Tuesday night in her response to the State of the Union speech, all but guaranteeing a “Saturday Night Live” parody.

It began with her talking about wearing bread bags around her feet when she was a little girl. (It’s a Midwestern thing, folks. Just stop it.)

Very quickly, people started tweeting photos of their feet wrapped in bread bags.

And #BreadBags became a hashtag.

(She’s very lucky that people couldn’t see the camouflage high heels she was wearing.)
