Elephants Walk (or flop around)

Yesterday I wrote that my Iowa Senator Charles Grassley was letting Steve King do all the thinking for the State's Republican delegation.

But I was wrong. Steve King is apparently doing ALL the thinking, such as it is, for every Republican in Congress -- both houses.

...today, the Republican House leadership signed onto a radical effort pushed by Rep. Steve King (R-IA) and Rep. Wally Herger (R-CA) to repeal all of health reform, including tax credits to small business, a ban on preexisting conditions, and extended dependent coverage for young adults.

I suppose they were worried that if King didn't get his way, he'd secede from the country. How they could say no to that proposition is beyond rational thought, it's the only good idea he ever had.
