Culver Confused about Green Building

Iowa Governor Chet Culver seemed to be confused about whose green paid for the new green building he helped unveil yesterday and Republicans are all over him about it. First, here's the story my colleague at Channel 13 Dan Winters did on the original incident. By the way, it was Lee Enterprises' Charlotte Eby who corrected the governor on the scene yesterday.


Republicans and Republican organizations forwarded this "tweet" around all morning on Twitter:

Pretty poorly produced segment. It jumped around so much between the green aspects and Culver's cluelessness about funding I didn't glean anything meaningful about either.

A green building isn't the only thing that Culver is confused about.
