Steve King (R, Asshole) insults Helen Thomas

From Josh Marshall, here's Republican Rep. Steve King reacting to the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi: "There probably are not 72 virgins in the hell he's at. And if there are, they probably all look like Helen Thomas."

1. I apologize...
... on behalf of the entire state of Iowa (even tho King isn't my Rep).
He embarrasses us on a regular basis.

However, he does have an opponent for congress this fall:

3. Yes we are constantly embarrassed by him.
So mortifying to even be in the same state.

8. "The Honorable" HA! More like
the whorrible, rotten sob.

Helen is adorable with more beauty than in that moran's entire family!


King's bad, but he still isn't scumtorum! He's the shame of Pa.

Spellcheck - Change to Santorum? Even it knows.

Too bad we don't have 72 Helens to send to the hell called Iraq, our troops would start coming home today.

10. What. A. Dick.
They don't even try to disguise it anymore. Pure contempt for the other side. Nothing but cheap shots and ad hominem attacks.

They're bankrupt. They just don't know it yet.

12. I emailed Helen last year to support her re an article she wrote........


I got a personal email of thanks back from
her two days later and I'm not a US citizen.

She is a saint and a fighter no doubt about it.
