While using the public airwaves on KICD Radio, King Steve of Iowa gave his take on the potential presidency of Democratic Senator Barack Obama. The King said, “I don’t want to disparage anyone because of their race, their ethnicity, their name, whatever the religion of their father might have been,” just before doing just that as he continued. “I’ll just say this, that when you think about the optics (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?” The King said that if Obama is elected president, “Al Qaida and the radical Islamists and their supporters will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11th.”

Are you kidding me? Not only did this guy say it out loud, but he said it out loud on the public airwaves.

Does this monarch know something we don’t about Barack Obama? Is Obama planning to stop screening travelers, leaving our airplanes open to being used as missiles against us as they were under Bush? Has he announced Osama Bin Laden on his shortlist for Vice President? The answer to all of those questions is a resounding “No.” The open street discos will be the result of everyone knowing that Barack Obama has the middle name of Hussein as if to imply that electing Barack Obama would suddenly reincarnate Saddam Hussein in Obama’s body. Actually he’s not really saying that it would reincarnate Saddam. He’s saying that all of those terrible people that wish to harm the United States are dumb enough to believe that Saddam will be reincarnated in Barack Obama. I can’t figure out any reason what-so-ever why electing someone with a different name would make the haters of freedom celebrate so openly. Does King Steve think that people outside of his kingdom are that stupid?

So what is it that we should fear about them dancing in the streets anyway? Let’s assume they would start this outdoor dance fesitval. Would that be so bad? What does King Steve of Iowa care if people living on the other side of the Earth want to get down and boogie for a while?

What’s that you’re saying? He’s not THE King of Iowa? It’s just his name? So it’s actually Republican U.S. Representative Steve King of Iowa? But I thought…..

Well Mr. King, I imagine it would look no more odd to have a President Barack Hussein Obama than it would to have a “King” in Iowa.

You bonehead.
