Iowa's Republican Representative Steve King enjoys the spotlight. Here's what he's done.

• Congressman and onetime college attendee Steven Arnold King made the "Schmitt List" when it was announced that it cost $43 million EACH to catch people crossing the border in an area of fencing backed by King. The 28-mile pilot fence system has cost $86 billion in taxpayer money so far. Honestly. It costs the government $43 million to catch ONE illegal immigrant under Steve King's plan.

• What an honor, to have our congressman named "GOP Hypocrite of the Week." Steve's right up there with Tom DeLay, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.
  
  
• King gets a ZERO on the Children's Defense Fund Action Council Scorecard, which ranks lawmakers on how well they protect children.
  
  
• Des Moines Register editorial, October 9, 2005 -- "Spare us more embarrassment: Replace King."
  
  
• 2005 Scorecard: King earns a ZERO. Gets an "F" for failing the middle class with his votes on taxes, small business, family issues.
