As frustrating as it is to watch what is happening to Bill Northey, at least Bill and his staff are able to have a little fun with it all. Of course USDA Secretary Sonny Purdue came up with the idea of a "Free Bill Northey" t-shirt and Wednesday at the IDALS holiday pot-luck, Rachel Liebold (pictured below) handed out these "Free Bill' ugly Christmas sweaters. To his credit, Secretary Northey agreed to take a picture and one of the jokes is they should send these to Sen. Cruz for Christmas.
