Tiger in Spain 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Iowa congressman apologizes for jestDES 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." Spokeswoman Summer Johnson said in an e-mail Wednesday that King has apologized to Thomas. The two-term congressman is running for re-election. Joyce Schulte, King's Democratic opponent in November, said the remarks were uncivil. Thomas did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

DKW 86 7,437 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Sorry to be the wet blanket here but, 2) No Nudity. I know ITAT is the Big Brother in AU sports and allows "Babe Threads." But we made an agreement between all the porn sites on the web and AUnation. They dont do AU athletics, etc, and we dont do porn.

But who could possibly be upset w/ the blazing cuteness of Jessica? :huh: No 'babe thread ' here, I understand, but for comparison purposes.... there has to be a flip side shown. I mean, there just HAS to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
