That crazy big-city Kevin Bacon Barack Obama has Iowa wingnut Steve King in a tizzy.
An Iowa Republican congressman on Monday defended his prediction that terrorists would celebrate if Democrat Barack Obama were elected president, despite a rebuke from aides to John McCain, the GOP's apparent presidential nominee.
''(Obama will) certainly be viewed as a savior for them,'' Rep. Steve King told The Associated Press. ''That's why you will see them supporting him, encouraging him.''
King said his offices have been bombarded with calls -- positive and negative -- since he said Friday that al-Qaida ''would be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror.''
