I was watching the original Ghostbusters the other day. In the world famous dickless scene Mayor Lenny said he wasn't gonna call a press conference and tell everyone to start praying. (About 1:20 into the following clip).

It just stuck with me since Kimmy's answer seems to be to throw up her hands, pray, and blame Democrats for all the ills this country faces. If Gozer the Gozerian came back and started rampaging through Iowa Kimmy would probably throw up her hands, call a press conference, and insist everyone pray.

I wish we could have someone like Mayor Lenny as Governor of Iowa instead of Kimmy. Ugh.
