Politician Puts Foot In Mouth, the Definition of Unsurprising

A congressman from Iowa stuck his foot in his mouth when he said the following:

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."

Oops.
