DES MOINES, Iowa -- An Iowa congressman has apologized for disparaging comments he made about a veteran White House correspondent.

Republican Steve King was discussing the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Saturday at the state Republican convention when he mentioned 85-year-old Helen Thomas.

King said about Zarqawi, "There probably are not 72 virgins in the hell he's at." He went on to say, "And if there are, they probably all look like Helen Thomas."

A spokeswoman for the two-term congressman said in an e-mail that King has apologized to Thomas.

Thomas has covered the White House for nearly 50 years and is a columnist for Hearst Newspapers.

King is running for re-election this fall. His Democratic opponent called his remarks uncivil.

No shit. That bitch is uglier than fuck. No need to apologize for stating a fact.

By all means, let's consider Zarquawi's followers feelings. What a puss.

King would have my vote.

What's wrong with Helen Thomas? At least she's female, and she has a brain. All women get old, just like all men do. A hole is a hole (female wise).

What he's really saying is that women have no use beyond a certain age or with a certain intellect or aligned with a certain political stance, because all women are to him are semen receptacles. He's a jackass, or a closet homosexual. Or both.

There's nothing wrong with her compared to anybody here. She's world class. If you've gotta choose sides, wouldn't you rather she be on yours? She beats Laura Bush to the wall; her and Condi might have interesting fights, though.

Lana Kay (for example) makes her look like an ignorant, vile, tedious whore by comparison.

Yes, we would.

Probably not, given that most people never would have seen it in its original context. I considered making it sig material because it's funny, particularly when taken out of context. That's all.

Yes, we would.

Actually, I was referring to the fact that most people here would think it referred to me.

But feel free to continue being a humorless partisan hack.

Diogenes · Post by **Diogenes** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 5:02 pm

Actually the only way it is at all humorous is if you take it out of context, unless you think finding Helen Thomas sexually unappealing is a sign of closet homosexuality. King's quote on the other hand, was quite humorous.

And humorless partisan hack coming from you????

Now that's Irony.

No, Annie had a point, in that women should have a value beyond a certain age. Helen Thomas is 85, so she's obviously not my idea of a hottie, but she's still sharp. I hope I'm as sharp as her when I'm that age, although I probably won't make it that far.

King's quote on the other hand, was quite humorous.

If a Democrat said the same thing about Barbara Bush, would you find it funny?

Barbara Bush is a class act. Helen Thomas isn't.

There are quite a few people who would disagree with that.

But you didn't answer the question, in any event.

Quite a few people are idiots. And actually, I did. The fact that Thomas is a pompous self-entitled windbag is what makes her fair game.

No, you merely stated your opinion with respect to Barbara Bush and Helen Thomas.

But we're getting nowhere with this conversation. I'm off to my stepdaughter's high school graduation, then we leave for vacation tomorrow. Have a nice week.

In terms of the physical Virgin Ideal she's very unattractive, which wouldn't make her much of a reward for dead terrorists. See, that was his point, and his only point.

At least she's female, and she has a brain. All women get old, just like all men do. A hole is a hole (female wise).

Right. Doesn't matter which hole, or how it looks, eh?

I think the porn industry and the people who came up with that whole 72 virgins reward for dead terrorists thing would disagree with you.

Even in and amongst your vast collection of porn I'd hazard a guess that none of the models look remotely like Helen Thomas.

Even you recognize and acknowledge with your buying dollar the truth in the concept of old hags not being hot.

What he's really saying is that women have no use beyond a certain age or with a certain intellect or aligned with a certain political stance, because all women are to him are semen receptacles. He's a jackass, or a closet homosexual. Or both.

He's saying nothing of the sort. You're just doing your usual and interjecting all your pet social peeves.

All he said is that in Hell the virgins the dead terrorists get as their reward will probably look like very unnattractive old hags, which, physically, is a description of Helen Thomas with which nobody could disagree.

One needn't be a closet homosexual or even a misogynist to recognize that Helen Thomas no longer possesses any real physical beauty, at least of the type one would associate with the reward of 72 virgins.

Seriously, Annie, even for you, how on earth did you fuck this one up this badly??

You're talking about Annie here, where's the mystery?

The real question is what the fuck has Terry been smoking this morning to chime in alongside her.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 5:50 pm

It would make for a near impossibility to get Annie and Terry to ever publicly disagree about anything.

See, Terry's a well educated guy, a very kind, civil and classy guy...and a staunch liberal.

He's also a white guy who's married to an enormously large breasted black woman.

As you can then imagine, Annie basically has Terry depicted on a cross, hanging above her bed.

Meanwhile, Terry is loathe to ever kick sand in the face of his most ardent admirer, no matter how far off the deep end she so often goes...

FTFY.

I guess that's a general tendency of the left, to accept support from any source no matter how vile and stupid. Michael Moore and his Hezbollah pals comes to mind...
