From the Mickelson radio vomitorium

CALLER: When I see the First Lady and the beautiful girls going off to the Bahamas waving goodbye to us, it’s really hard to stomach. When we’re tightening our belts, either all of us should do it or none of us should do it. This, I am pretty tolerant, I always have been, I usually shut my mouth. This is not acceptable.

KING: Carla, you’re on point and on the mark all the way through. … You’re right on the president. He needs to show some austerity himself. Instead he wanted to tell America how bad it was going to be. … We’ve got the president doing these things. He sent the daughters to spring break in Mexico a year ago. That was at our expense, too. And now to the Bahamas at one of the most expensive places there. That is the wrong image to be coming out of the White House.

Worst Iowa Rep in history.

edit add: audio link is at the think progress story for those with a strong constitution.

1. I hope King DOES run against Braley for Harkin's seat.

I'm sick of him, and I think Bruce would mop the floor with him.

6. King is a gutless bastard - he will never run a race

he has a chance of losing.
He has a free pass in that NW corner

[cyberswede]

8. ...and now there are 2 repubs who have announced for Bruce's seat.

Steve Rathje and Rod Blum.

Do you know much about Pat Murphy, the Democrat who's running for that seat?

[rurallib]

9. Not really - just what I heard from Nate

He is obviously a hard worker and very thorough. I suspect he will be even stronger in the cities than Bruce was because of his legislative work. But really, no, I don't know a lot about him.
He recruited Nate to run, and Sara.

10. Oh good. He should have strong party backing, then.

But now who will take his place in the Iowa legistlature? That worries me, too.

[rurallib]

11. It' Dubuque - pretty democratic area.

not Johnson County but close.

[progressoid]

12. I'm afraid you are right.

He's too comfortable in his little crazy bubble.

[barbtries]

2. my constitution has never been string enough

to stomach right wing radio. it's not that strong either.

forgive me, i know i'm terrible i could not resist.

oh don't get me started on bush's vacation days. i hate republicans.

3. edit the edit nuts

[barbtries]

4. i know i'm so bad.

no hard feelings i hope.

5. not even close

7. On a side note - Looks like Clear Channel is one sick puppy

Been owned by Bane for quite a while - lost @$400 mil last year.
#1 star Rushbo really taking them down the crapper.
Maybe won't have to listen to this crap much longer.

I am sure Bane won't (surely can't) continue to float them much longer.
CC CEO resigned this morning.

May be time for the Mickelson biography and spending more time with the family.
