I was sifting through Huffington Post this morning to see if any Republicans or Democrats had made a crazy in they panties concerning Sandy the Sand Hurricane Snowstorm (?) Fire and Flood Disaster of 2012. After .01 seconds of searching the front page, I came across a gorgeous, milk-eyed farm boy spitting out some TRUTH: Iowa Republican Representative Steve King!
Before I tell you what he said, you need some background. Let's travel back into the background times of one month ago.
This is Rep. Steve King's "nanny state" complaint last month, concerning speed limits being too slow where he lives. In case you aren't familiar, the term "nanny state" is a premise that suggests that government interferes unduly with personal choice and decision-making:
"There I am driving down the road looking at cornfields, which I love to look at, at 55 miles an hour. I thought, 'Why am I doing this?'" he said. "Well, it must be the nanny state that has imposed this on me...And it came down to this: that if we drive 65 instead of 55, we will have saved 79.64 lifetimes of living, in other words, getting to our destination, doing something productive. That has value too," he said.
In this same article, he is also credited with making interns cry when he sent them on a mission to buy "Edison light bulbs" AND said that water saving showerheads are also nanny state, so he drilled holes into his showerhead, which cut his shower time by three minutes, giving him more time to "beat up on liberals."
What a ladykiller! And by that, I mean, he has probably killed and buried a woman before. Just kidding! He has never done that, and he is nothing but an honest, hardworking, American that is just trying to give people the freedom they deserve. People need to be treated like ADULTS that are capable of making their own decisions without the government micromanaging every step of the way!
This is Rep. Steve King on Tuesday, concerning aid to Sandy victims:
"Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said on Tuesday that federal aid for people impacted by Hurricane Sandy should be approved only with a specific spending plan in place so funds are not used for 'Gucci bags and massage parlors,' like after Hurricane Katrina."
[Ed. Note: He voted against aid for Hurricane Katrina victims in 2005 because he said it cost too much.]
A few things just real quick:
It's about time someone stood up, reversed their stance on trusting people to do the right thing without oversight, and got REAL! He has the gutz to tell flood victims, some of whom are sick, dead, or about to die, are still stranded and without power and food, and are 10-day-old infants, that they wouldn't spend their yet-to-be-granted aid properly because he heard about this one chick that bought a purse after Katrina. Now that is what I call music.
Secondly, "79.64 lifetimes of living" sounds like something Kirstie Alley would say if she was explaining Scientology on The View.
Also, there is this whole math equation he gives when he arrives at that number. The only way to describe his equation is this: The opposite of math plus the opposite of time divided by peeing the bed as an adult.
Post Script:
Michael Brown, the former FEMA director under George W. Bush, also known as "Heckuva Job", and you may remember him from such things as I never really had experience with disaster relief before Hurricane Katrina, told a newspaper that President Obama acted too quickly in mobilizing relief for Sandy and that he was doing it so soon just to look good.
