Crazy dogfight lightbulb guy.
Rep. Steve King, whose name you may know from his
repeated crossings into the lands of sociopathy, tells his constituents that he is super awesome because he and Paul Ryan are best buds and Ryan listens to him a
lot. No, really:
a lot.
“I’m going to work to put my good friend Paul Ryan in as vice president and we’re going to have a strong voice from Iowa right there in the West Wing and sometimes in the Oval Office of the White House,” King told a crowd at the Iowa State Fair Wednesday. [...]
“Paul listens to me,” King told the Washington Post this week.
Well there's a ringing endorsement. When Paul Ryan wants to hear from someone even more mean and spite-filled then he himself is, he goes right to the number one source for that sort of thing. Want the
pro-dogfighting point of view? He's your man. Want assurance that it's perfectly all right for people to
just plain not receive any health care, ever, or
why brown people will be the doom of us all, or why the abominably high unemployment rate is just because
Americans nowadays are lazy "slackers"? He's got you covered. Let's not even get started on Steve King's
personal war on slightly more efficient lightbulbs. You can just go to hell right now, slightly more efficient lightbulbs. Everyone knows George W. Bush was a communist when it comes to slightly more efficient lightbulbs.
No, congressional crazy person Steve King says whenever the Romney/Ryan team wants to know how normal 'Mericans think, he's their go-to guy. Because people who listen to Steve King really get it, you know?
“They come and ask me now, ‘What do they think in the Midwest?’” he told the crowd. “That’s because they know you lead. We’re going to continue to lead and we’re going to do this two years from now, four years from now, on and beyond until America is back together again and we have restored our American dream and restored our values of American exceptionalism.”
I'm not sure who should be more insulted here, the Romney/Ryan campaign or the entire American Midwest, whose opinions on things Team Romney apparently thinks are pretty much whatever crazy dogfight lightbulb guy says they are.
