WASHINGTON - This was one of those weeks when it was necessary to leave Washington to keep up with the story of the nine dwarves, seven of whom had left hearth and home to spend a wet and muddy weekend in the hot air balloon field of Indianola, Iowa. This year, there were not only dwarves but a living, breathing former president, Bill Clinton.

This is fabulous.

I wrote a book eight years ago that outlined many of the same things as are contained in this piece, plus more.

Commie Tommy Harkin is one of the worst of the RATs, and that takes some doing.

"Commie Tommy Harkin is one of the worst of the RATs, and that takes some doing."

I confess to being unaware of most of Harkins' corruptions and miscellaneous malfeasances.

However, upon being exposed to his record, I can't say that I'm the least bit surprised.

Harkins is a true dungheap in the grand tradition of Democrat politics. I'm sure his mother is proud of him. But there seems little reason for anybody else to share her pride...

Actually, he taught Bill and Hill much of what they know. He's that bad.

You will remember, perhaps, that he was in the RAT field in '92, pushing socialized medicine, and with a firm hold on the unions. When he got out, he became joined at the hip with the Clintons, and they were a tagteam ever thereafter.

You know, Iowa has a reputation for a great public school system and well educated people, but having voted this Bozo back to the Senate again and again, I would have to say that Iowans are among the biggest idiots in the nation... by the way, no offense to all those Bozo's out there reading this thread...

Harkin really is one of the most disgusting, intellectually dishonest individuals on Capital Hill. And that covers a huge number of candidates.

Harkin claimed, in one newspaper interview, he went after MiGs over North Viet Nam. Truth is, he was a "ferry pilot" moving fighter planes in and out of repair facilities in Viet Nam and Japan.

A fairy pilot? I know, don't ask, don't tell (and don't bend over).

Since he just endorsed "outsider" Dean, this deserves a bump
