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!

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 »
