As an Iowan, I apologize that Steve King broke out, got the funds, and flew to South Carolina, spouting more inanities outside of our state.

We’ll try harder to keep an eye on the attic from now on.

  Chris, if you can explain for me please, ok they voted him in once but what is going on in Iowans collective minds in his district that they continue to send him back?
  I don’t blame you but he really is past due for a psych eval. and a chair on his porch.

    Name recognition, an (R) following his name, and a local press that has given up reporting on his nuttiness.

      Even Arizona didn’t reelect Ben Quayle. They were stupid enough, or apathetic enough (low turnout is key) to elect him, but when he proved he is every bit as stupid as his father, they dumped him after one term.

        That may be, but anyone not Dan Quayle’s son has a chance to be an improvement.

        A chance. But check back with me next election time and I’ll bet he votes straight Republican, the same that Ben would.
