A Woman's Worth

Anywhere from $12.1 million to $23.97 million, for CommieTommie Harkin, according to the Omaha World Herald.

Harkin's largest asset is his wife Ruth.

Thanks to her success in in the corporate world. The senator’s estimated wealth jumped by more than 500 percent between 2004 and 2010, from $3 million to $17 million.

Currently, Ruth, has three sets of stocks each worth more than $1 million: Conoco Phillips, Phillips 66 and United Technologies Corp. The couple also own a vacation home in the Bahamas worth between $500,000 and $1 million.

Hence, the secondary nickname of Tommie Bahama.

Ruth Harkin earned more than $1,000 in salary from ConocoPhillips, United Technologies Corp. and National Toll Road.

I'm sure well more than $1,000 and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Most of the assets reported by the Harkins have been made possible by Ruth’s private-sector work. He views their life partnership as crucial to his own career, but his policy and political views are his own, as are hers. His policy views have not been guided by personal financial interests. Nor have his actions as a Senator, or information gained as a Senator, guided business dealings.

"Yeah, sure".

CommieTommie will certainly leave CONgress richer that when he entered.

Responsible Citizen?

Continuing to prove that he may be ignorant, The Liter maintains willfully so, CommieTommie Harkin heaped praise on Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (ICCI, that's ICKY to us) for their in your face protesting.

“Sometimes people say, ‘Well, you know, ICCI, they just demonstrate and they do all these kinds of things. Well, good for you. … Thank you for making some of the things I care deeply about more poignant, more personal and more upfront for people.”

That's rich, but so is CommieTommie (A Woman's Worth)
and the scientific community is united in that fact, the group that brought you Occupy Iowa/Des Moines loves this 1 percent-err.

In another bit of irony, earlier this year, Harkin received press for lamenting the nastier tone in Congress now.

Such a hypocrite and "willfully so".
