Rep. Peter King (NY-03) is an ASSHOLE! (Episode 1) Email Print

Yesterday, I announced my intention to start local blogging the Peter King race.  It seemed like a good choice for me for a number of reasons:

1.  I am somewhat local, as I live in Manhattan and Peter King is in Long Island.

  1.  While King's Long Island District has been a slam-dunk Republican seat for over a decade, the area is trending blue.

  2.  Charlie Cook just took the race out of the "solid Republican" column, the first time in my memory I can remember that race being remotely competitive.

  3.  The challenger, Dave Mejias, has wowed people with his solid campaigning and fundraising, and just picked up the AFL-CIO endorsement, which King has inexplicably received in the past.  

  4.  And lastly, and most importantly, Peter King is a TOTAL ASSHOLE!


So, as a result, I'm local blogging this race, and, from today until election day, I will document Peter King's total assholeness.  Here is episode one:

Peter King has been a long time cheerleader for the Iraq war disaster.

However, when it came time for him to serve in a war, the record suggests that he wasn't exactly an eager beaver.

From 1968-1974, Peter King served in the National Guard.  While today, National Guardsmen are courageously fighting in Iraq, back in the late 60's and early 70's, the National Guard was a rich kid's country club (as we know from our current misleader in chief).

So, the evidence suggestts that representative Peter King is a CHICKEN-HAWK (would appreciate confirmation -- can anyone confirm that King never fought in Viet Nam?)!

But even if he's not a Chicken Hawk, he's definitely an ASSHOLE.

By the way, since I will be blogging about Peter King, I need to disclose a conflict of interest.  Privately, in my "real life," I think Peter King is an ASSHOLE!!!!
