Rep. Steve King is a flag-waving, card-carrying, all-American jerk. In a recent interview with the conservative website Newsmax, the Iowa Republican was discussing the "Dreamers," young people brought to this country as small children by undocumented parents."For every one who's a valedictorian," he snarled, "there's another 100 out there that weigh 130 pounds and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert."King's remarks were immediately condemned by fellow Republican and House Speaker John Boehner as "hateful" and "ignorant." But let's be honest.
