Liberals spent a big chunk of Wednesday afternoon in the House of Assembly accusing Justice Minister Judy Manning of blocking access to documents which would inform the current debate on House of Assembly reform.

Manning is an unelected minister, and so she was forced to sit silently in the public galleries as first Liberal Leader Dwight Ball and then Liberal House leader Andrew Parsons pressed the issue.

Davis to slash 10 seats from the legislature

With MHAs debating a proposal to cut the number of MHAs from 48 to 38, the Liberals say they want to see all of the documents surrounding the 1993 electoral boundaries commission which laid the groundwork for shrinking House of Assembly from 52 to 48 two decades ago.

We asked the Justice Library for a copy of the presentations and first they said they had to be redacted. Then they said we would have all presentations within one hour un-redacted. Then suddenly they said there could be redactions and the process could take days, Ball said in the House. I ask the premier: these presentations are 21 years old and they were supposed to be public. Why do you need to review them? Why would you need to review a public presentation before you release them?

Government House Leader Darin King didnt have an answer on why the documents were being withheld. He said hed look into it and report back.

I cannot answer as to why officials would feel the need to do as he suggested they have done. I really cannot respond to it, King said. What I will do is I will commit in the next question period, I will certainly be prepared to provide you with further information to clarify any misunderstanding that might have occurred and ensure that the documents are made available in as quick an order as possible.

Liberals say Manning withholding documents needed for House of Assembly debate

Its hard to say what coastal liberals think is funnier: the fact that Republican Sen. Joni Ernsts thrifty mother tied bread bags over her little girls feet to protect her shoes on muddy days -- or the fact that Ernst comes from Iowa, where the untutored rubes do things like that.

Heres what Ernst said in her rebuttal to President Obamas State of the Union address Tuesday:

You see, growing up, I had only one good pair of shoes. So on rainy school days, my mom would slip plastic bread bags over them to keep them dry. But I was never embarrassed. Because the school bus would be filled with rows and rows of young Iowans with bread bags slipped over their feet.

Those dopey Iowans! Just one good pair of shoes! Let the mockery begin!

Bien-pensants from Seattle to La Jolla and from Boston to Charlottesville, Va., stayed up all Tuesday night and most of Wednesday to crack jokes in blogs and on Twitter (#breadbags) about just how backward Ernst had to be. This from the people who claim to be unlimited in their compassion for the poor -- except if the poor happen to live in a flyover state and vote Republican.

Iowa-trashing has been a respectable pastime among the big-brained ever since University of Iowa journalism professor Stephen Bloom wrote a 6,000-word article for the Atlantic in 2011 complaining that Iowans were culturally-challenged, and that the state contained too many cornfields, church steeples and white people.

Some of the sophisticates on the Internet claimed to know more than Ernst herself about life in southeastern Iowa farm country.

Here, for example, HonestyinGov tweeted: If Joni grew up on RURAL farm -- wouldnt they bake their OWN bread.

Bustles Keertana Sastry snarkily asked: Has anyone tested out Ernsts routine shoe-protection out yet?

Sarah Jones of PoliticusUSA cracked this funny: The question is, was Ernst wearing bread bags on her feet during the SOTU rebuttal?
