Krusty was at the Republican convention and has some perhaps inadvertently revealing comments.
On Steve King:
The second his name was announced, everyone stood up. It wasn’t a few people at first, and then the rest joined in. It was krazy. If you’re the type that chuckles when you hear that King might run against Sen. Tom Harkin in 2008, it’s obvious that King is beloved by the Republican base...
e said that when Saddam was captured, he went out and celebrated Iraqi style by going outside a shooting his shot gun in the air. The reason it’s so funny is you don’t really know if its true or not, because you can see him doing it.
And of course the "72 virgins in hell" quote that's getting picked up nationally.
Meanwhile, he praises Jim Leach but notes:
95% of the delegates think he is the worst thing in the Republican party.
A nice measure of the tectonic rightward drift of the Republican Party in the last 30 years.
Leach has been showing his true colors in committee lately:
On Wednesday June 14, the House Financial Services Committee rejected an amendment offered by Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to the Export-Import bank reauthorization that would have required export companies seeking financing to sign a pledge that says: “We believe in employing United States workers at livable wages.” The amendment was rejected 33-34. Had Leach voted “Yes,” the amendment would have passed.
When it's close, they can always count on him. A vote for Leach is a vote for more close calls like this, and a vote to keep folks like Steve King in charge.
