Republican Rep. Steve King trying to be funny about the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi:
"There probably are not 72 virgins in the hell he's at.
And if there are, they probably all look like Helen Thomas."
Aside from the fact that a comment like that reveals him to be a total asshole, there's an old quote from the days when it was only print media about the power of the press that reveals him to also be a moron:
"Never pick a fight with a person who buys ink by the barrel."
(updating it to ..
"or who's holding the mike.
Or who has a popular blog.
Or a network radio/TV show.")
