WASHINGTON -- Republican Congressman Steve King of Iowa says he doesn't take kindly to raccoons trying to take shelter in his home.

The minute King noticed a raccoon trying to weasel into his house last week, he grabbed his semi-automatic gun and chased the fleeing creature out into a deadly Iowa storm, firing away.

Clearly proud of what he did, he then posted this self-congratulatory message on Twitter: "Mid day, mid blizzard, 15 degrees, Crazy Raccoon chewing and clawing his way into my house. Desert Eagle 1, Crazy Raccoon zero."

Doubling down on his accomplishment, King this week told the Roll Call's "Heard On The Hill" his Desert Eagle was "the one I had handy" and said he refused to tolerate "an animal that might be sick, might be rabid, out there."


What a freak. Yeah, I'm gonna run after a frightened, freezing animal in a blizzard and gun it down because it wanted to be warm instead of calling animal control or whatever, and when I realize what I just did was kinda retarded, I'll say that it might have had rabies and was obviously trying to attack my granddaughters. And I hope Sarah Palin didn't read that or she'll probably write a facebook post against me.

Sounds like a typical rural to me.

Ah I had four raccoons staring at me when I opened my bedroom door upstairs, due to me hearing some contretemps outside it at around 1 am. They looked at me with their beady eyes, as if to ask, what is your problem dude?  I let out a banshee scream, and they rushed down the stairs like a herd of elephants, and back through the laundry room from whence they came. However, all four tried to get out of the cat door at once, and only two made it. The other two repaired to behind the dryer. The two coons outside looked at me malevolently, and started making this chilling guttural sound that I found quite terrifying. I think they wanted to tear my throat out. So being the Baysian that I am, I closed the laundry room door, and decamped back upstairs to my bedroom. The coons were gone of course in the morning. The moral of the story?  Keep your cat door locked at night! Smiley

Clearly, this entire story is a metaphorical wink to segregationists.
