Do I even need to identify the party of this Congresscreep from Iowa?
"There probably are not 72 virgins in the hell [Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's] at and if there are, they probably all look like Helen Thomas."
Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa)
The Congressboy was giving a speech to Republican delegates, and somehow the subject of the 85 year-old senior White House correspondent came up. No doubt, the boys had a good laugh.
As you can probably guess, when Rep. Steve King isn't having sexual fantasies about 85 year-old women, he's busy doing important work like fixating on women's wombs and working to end bilingual voting.
After the Arab American Institute raised a stink, Rep. King supposedly apologized to Thomas.
We don't know that for sure, because it's a secret apology.
"King's press secretary says King 'had a private conversation (with Thomas) and he wants to leave it private.'"
We think the Congressboy should make the apology public, else we'll always think of him as a Congresscreep. The jerk should also apologize to his mother, his grandmother and the women of America, some of whom he supposedly represents.
