So, an attempt to rename a Berkeley post office for a 94 year old City Council member was shot down by Steve King, a Republican from Iowa, who questioned whether she represented American values. This sort of immature slapfight is all too common in the modern, partisan age, but what really jumps out of the article is this quote:

King responded: "I think that if Barbara Lee would read the history of Joe McCarthy, she would realize that he was a hero for America."

Perhaps someone should offer the Honorable Mr. King two tickets to Good Night and Good Luck.

No, really, there are people who still hold McCarthy up as a role model? And they are allowed to hold public office? That's fucked.
