Iowa Republican Congressman Steve King is a known douchebag, and demographic trends suggest he is a racist too. What racist thing did racist Steve King say today? Just that the Muslim terrorists “will be dancing in the streets” if Obama is elected president, “and that has a chilling effect on how difficult it will be to ever win this global war on terror.” Yes, King Congressman, but will he get us universal health care??

Tuesday was Arts and Crafts day at the House of Representatives. Steve King, of “DC is more dangerous than Iraq” fame, presented a diorama that he “designed” all by himself! You see, it’s a fence to go along our border with Mexico, but he added some neat fins and a racing stripe. Oh, and barbed-wire. And it’s electrified. And he compared immigrants to “cattle.” And he’s a crazy idiot. Are you noticing a pattern yet? Yes, it’s WE DEEPLY LOATHE EVERYONE IN CONGRESS DAY WEEK here at Wonkette! MORE »
