Remember when King said "terrorists will dance in the streets if Obama wins" ?

King suggests terrorists will celebrate Obama victory. He was re-elected with ease.

Western Iowa Congressman Steve King says al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorists around the globe will be "dancing in the streets" if Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is elected president.

"I don't want to disparage anyone because of their race, their ethnicity, their name, whatever the religion of their father might have been. I'll just say this, that when you think about the optics of a Barack Obama potentially getting elected president of the United States, I mean, what does this look like to the rest of the world? What does this look like to the world of Islam?" King said Friday during an interview in KICD studios in Spencer. "And I will tell you that if he is elected president, then the radical islamists, the al Qaida and the radical Islamists and their supporters Will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11th."

1. Thankfully the majority of Iowans didn't buy into that load of crap
I'm so proud of Iowa (my birthplace) for showing that just because it's a small rural state doesn't mean the people are bozos.

2. Steve King is a horrible embarassment to my state.
I wish I lived within 50 miles of his district, so I could've helped Ron Hubler more.
