That Dumbass Christie Vilsack

Nothing could have been more fun than to see That Dumbass Christie Vilsack run for Congress against Steve King.

Although King's district got changed a bit due to reapportionment, there is absolutely no way he is going to lose to That Dumbass Christie Vilsack.

Look at King's recent numbers.  In 2008, King got 60% of the vote in his district.  In 2010, he got 66%.

Alex Isenstadt of the Politico has a story yesterday about the race.  Wow, That Dumbass Christie Vilsack has the endorsement of Norman Lear and George Soros's son.  Also that somewhat Hitler-looking David Assholerod guy.

The funniest bit of writing in the story, which likely wasn't ironic, was this bit:

During the run-up to the 2004 presidential caucuses, it was Christie Vilsack who delivered a crucial late endorsement to Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry.

What the hell?

Did That Dumbass Christie Vilsack's people really write that line for Isenstadt?

Luckily, Steve King won't have to work that hard against That Dumbass Christie Vilsack.  I'd love to see him nail her for all her husband's crimes against the state.  He won't have to work that hard, because she's a certifiable dumbshit.  Let's go back to that Boston Herald article from 2004 on Christie's newspaper columns in the Mount Pleasant newspaper from 1994:


Iowa First Lady Christie Vilsack, a key factor in John Kerry's primary sweep and the primetime convention speaker tomorrow, has derided blacks, southerners and easterners as bad speakers because she couldn't understand them. 


In inflammatory columns for her local newspaper obtained by the Herald, the normally soft-spoken Vilsack tore into several minority and ethnic groups while lampooning non-midwesterners for regional dialects. 


"I am fascinated at the way some African-Americans speak to each other in an English I struggle to understand, then switch to standard English when the situation requires," Vilsack wrote in a 1994 column in the Mount Pleasant News, while her husband, Tom, was a state senator.... 


Vilsack wrote that southerners seem to have "slurred speech," wrote that she'd rather learn Polish than try to speak like people from New Jersey, and wrote that a West Virginian waitress once offered her friend a "side saddle" instead of a "side salad."... 


Vilsack's Aug. 24, 1994, column was particularly critical of dialects from other regions of the country. In addition to the knock on African-Americans, Vilsack knocked residents of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. 


"Later, on the boardwalk, I heard mothers calling to their children, `I'll meet yoose here after the movie,' " she wrote. "The only way I can speak like residents of New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania is to let my jaw drop an inch and talk with my lips in an `O' like a fish. I'd rather learn to speak Polish." 


Two years later, in a column about her trip to the Olympics in Atlanta, Vilsack said she had "language problems." 


"When I ask for directions, I can't understand the slurred speech of southern Americans, who are so polite and eager to please," Vilsack said.
