DES MOINES, Iowa - An Iowa congressman apologized Wednesday for disparaging comments he made last week at the state Republican convention about a veteran White House correspondent.Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, was discussing the June 7 death of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi on Saturday when he mentioned 85-year-old Helen Thomas, who has covered the White House for nearly 50 years and is a columnist for Hearst Newspapers.
"There probably are not 72 virgins in the hell he's at," King said about al-Zarqawi, in a recording transcribed by Radio Iowa. "And if there are, they probably all look like Helen Thomas."

King's low class, and it shows.
Consider it a public service announcement for wanna-be suicide bombers. What better way to show them why suicide bombing isn't such a good idea.
Okay, what's his Freeper name? LOL
And the problem with this witty observation would be?
My god!!! man!!! How did you survive putting that together??
"And if there are, they probably all look like Helen Thomas."
Maybe I'm dense but I don't see a problem with this quote.
Am I missing something?
Uff-da....dat der is sum purddy funny stuff!!!
Freeper waves to the Congressman!
Mr. King: I know you will question things based on this incident. Please rest assured that is NOT necessary. You have risen to hero status to the majority of us. You have my vote!!!
Please say that will be in '08!
You should have heard what Grassley said. He told the folks if you don't like everything that Bush you need to "suck it up and move on."
You are sooooooo cruel. Bad, bad post. LOL - 72 helen thomas style virgins is one sad eternity.
Thomas must be loving it, as it's the most attention she's gotten in years.
Good thing he wasn't addressing the Klan, eh?
I think he just lurks. But he told me about an editorial he posted here about the history of Texas and how the invasion of Americans in the 1820s parallels the invasion of illegals into the southwest.
You always have to throw cold water on everything, don't you?
King's got Coulteritis: say something outrageous to get attention, especially when you're from a cornfield.
