Stephen Colbert skewered Iowa Congressman and "mortuary training doll" Steve King as he only can, following King's remarks where he compared immigrants to dogs and then pretended it was a compliment and for his claim that most DREAMers have "calves the size of cantaloupes" from hauling marijuana across the desert.

Stephen Colbert skewered Iowa Congressman and "mortuary training doll" Steve King as he only can, following King's remarks where he compared immigrants to dogs and then pretended it was a compliment and for his claim that most DREAMers have "calves the size of cantaloupes" from hauling marijuana across the desert.

King's remarks are causing them enough headaches that even Speaker John Boehner is trying to distance the House Republicans from King, but as Jed over at KOS noted, with them "voting in lockstep with King on immigration policy" "it's hard to see how Boehner can claim with a straight face that his party doesn't share King's values."
