In June 2006, following the death of Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, King made a satirical reference to the famous myth which claims Islam teaches that virgins in heaven await all martyrs. King joked, "There probably are not 72 virgins in the hell he's at, and if there are, they probably all look like Helen Thomas." The comment was made at the 2006 Iowa Republican State Convention, and was received with raucous laughter on the part of the several hundred delegates in attendance. Because the comment received so much attention and comment, King was reported to have called the 85-year-old veteran White House reporter to apologize.

Steve is not PC...But thats OK.

A DEMOCRAT would NEVER have been called to apologise for such a remark. Instead, it would be CELEBRATED as “Bold” or “Truth-Telling” by the wonks in our largely-gay MSM...

Will all due respect to the Gran-Dame of the press-core :-).....

The ultimate reason to vote for Fred is how he will handle Helen in a Presidential Press Conference.

Oh my, I can just imagine the one line zingers that will be so dry no one will get but us but will intellectually eviscerate her.
