Another IA Republican with no college degree

Steve King is not the only Iowa Congressman who did not graduate from college. I guess Rep. Tom Latham from Iowa's 4th District also did not finish his college career. Latham attended Wartburg College for 1 year and then Iowa State for 3 years, but never earned a degree. Even though D's still earn degrees, I guess R's don't get you much of anything.

To be fair, here is one Iowa Republican who is educated: Jim Leach, who graduated from Princeton. I hope he shares his vast knowledge with the other Iowa Republicans in Congress.

This is yet another reason to elect Dave Loebsack. Loebsack, who is running against Leach in Iowa's 2nd District, is a Political Science professor at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon. He might actually be able to help King and Latham earn those credits they need to graduate.

OK --- so you point out that Leach is the most educated member of the delegation (forgeting Jim Nussle's law degree, I see...), but then say we need to get rid of him for someone LESS educated, so they can educate the rest of the delegation? Dumbass. Why don't you try to replace King or Latham if you really want to up the education ante. Oh wait... you can't beat them. Dumbass.

My point isn't the degree of education. It is that I would expect that our elected leaders at least have a certain level of education in order to debate issues that affect us all. I will post an entry later that goes into more depth on this.
