New Contempt Citation: Steve King (R, IA)!

Q A Wagstaff, OBE, FRS, has nominated Rep. Steve King (R, naturally, IA) for his latest Contempt Citation. He notes that King, an extremist right-winger even among extremists, made these sage remarks on the House floor (perhaps setting the stage for a truly memorable House session in 2011), "...the leader and the speaker have established their integrity and their MENDACITY for years in this Congress and I don't believe it can be effectively challenged..." The Speaker he was 'praising' as being mendacious was none other than his buddy, new Speaker, extremist right-winger John Boehner.
