I've Got a Prescription for Congressman Steve King

You know the types, real hypertensive looking, bulging veins in the neck and forehead, sweat on the brow, grinding teeth, constantly clenching fists, toe tapping all the time. Gotta be Steve King, Republican Congressman from Iowa.



The dude needs a good old fashioned horse fucking. The man wants to deprive millions of people just a little fun and stress relief. Obviously he isn't getting any and doesn't want anyone else to have any fun when he can't.

Rep. Steve King, an Iowa Republican who has written legislation to outlaw Medicare coverage for "recreational sex drugs," said the Congressional Budget Office had tallied the costs of Pfizer Inc.'s Viagra and other medicines to enhance sexual performance. Medicare will start broad prescription drug coverage in January.

"The Medicare system is already strained, and taxpayers shouldn't have to foot the bill for drugs that aren't medically necessary," King said in a statement.

Although paying for impotence drugs "is a relatively minor expense within the context of this extremely expensive program, there can be no doubt that the Founding Fathers did not envision paying for the sex lives of senior citizens as among the proper activities of the federal government," National Taxpayers Union President John Berthoud said in a statement distributed by King.


I say we put it to the people, a few billion here and there so everyone can have a little fun, or pour more wasted money into Iraq, Halliburton, etc.

Steve, go get laid, would ya?
