That would be an Iowa congressman who said the virgins would all look like elen Thomas. Now he's apologizing:
Rep. Steve King (news, bio, voting record), R-Iowa, was discussing the June 7 death of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi on Saturday when he mentioned 85-year-old Helen Thomas, who has covered the White House for nearly 50 years and is a columnist for Hearst Newspapers.
There probably are not 72 virgins in the hell he's at," King said about al-Zarqawi, in a recording transcribed by Radio Iowa. "And if there are, they probably all look like Helen Thomas."
Spokeswoman Summer Johnson said in an e-mail Wednesday that King has apologized to Thomas.
