I haven't mentioned WOITH member and Iowa congressman (and possibly Martian) Steve King in a while, although I could do so virtually any day.
He and his Fox News friends are at it again, this time over the new Obama administration's stance that insurers cover contrceptives as preventative care. A controversial position, but not exactly for the flat-earth reasoning of King. Check out the clip from this week's The Colbert Report:

I especially enjoyed Colbert's remark that a woman's health is a private matter between..... her priest and her husband! Satire is funnier when it's not so far from the truth.
While I'm at it, let me take this time to officially elevate his Tea Party mistress, Minnesota congressperson Michele Bachmann, to WOITH status. Her stance to not raise the U.S. debt ceiling is effectively saying it's better to have an international economic crisis than it is for the U.S. to pay the bills it has already incurred.
It's going to be fun having her around Iowa to campaign for president, telling everyone she would do the opposite of what Obama does without ever actually saying what she would do.
