A public spat between Rush Limbaugh and Democratic Iowa Senator Tom Harkin has now hit both the Senate floor and the airwaves. The bout of nastiness began on Nov. 7 when Harkin presented a defense bill calling for fair and balanced programming on the Armed Forces Radio. While Limbaugh’s conservative show is broadcast on the network, listeners are not offered a liberal alternative, says Harkin. He’d like to see a liberal talk show like Ed Schultz or Al Franken added. Limbaugh was not pleased, so on his show the next day he referred to Harkin as “Dung Heap.” More recently, Harkin lambasted Limbaugh on the senate floor, saying Limbaugh “wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in the face,” according to the Des Moines Register. And Limbaugh has taken to calling the senator “Dung Heap” Harkin on the air. This was a reference to a comment made by Harkin years ago, in which he called Bill Clinton’s impeachment charges “a pile of dung,” according to the Register.
This photograph says it all. Excretia, all of them.
I've often wondered how a sleazebag like Harkin can get elected in a fine state like Iowa.
The troops have to endure that much NPR? We ought to rally to bring them home just because of that!

Iowa Sen. Tom [”Dung Heap”] Harkin (D) will not seek re-election in 2014, he told the Associated Press. This makes the seat more competitive and gives the GOP a pick-up opportunity.

Thanks for the blast from the past.
Honey Dipper Harkin?
That has a nice ring to it.
