With Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., temporarily stepping down as chairman of the House Committee of Ways and Means under an ethics cloud, it appears Rep. Fortney “Pete” Stark, D-Calif., will take his place.

Stark is a “colorful” fellow, to say the least. Below are some of his more entertaining moments.

I think we are seeing a ‘Be careful what you wish for scenario’.

I guess Pelosi is trying to teach the little people a lesson. You make me fire someone, I’ll replace them with someone twice as bad.

Great! Let 'em.

This will only serve to damage the Dem's image even further.

Hopefully, every Freeper here will take the time to view the Videos of this Obviously Mentally Deranged Hater of America and Absolute MORON whom Pelosi has just selected to be Chairman of the most powerful committee in the House!
Great Job! Bugeyes!!

“Great! Let ‘em. This will only serve to damage the Dem’s image even further.”

I agree with you! Personally, if I had my way, Stark would be Speaker of the House. Stark is such an obnoxious, ill-tempered ahole....he would destroy the democrats single-handedly. In the words of that other lib, Martha Stewart, this would be “a good thing!”

I think he has issues because Congressman Pete’s real first name is Fortney.

Real class act. At the end of the last video, he screams “get the f*ck out of here”. Where do they find low life scum like this?

What war?

She appoints ever nuttier leftists and the overall image of the Dems suffers as a result. What's not to like?

• Pete Stark, class of 1972, runs the health subcommittee on Ways and Means and has written most of the House health reform that has forced moderates to walk the plank on the “public option.”

Charlie Rangel was a pimple, Stark is a full blown boil. That man is nuts. I would take Rangel over him any day of the week. Both are crooks, Stark is stark, raving mad.

He said more than that, he said, “get the f*ck out of here or I’ll throw you out the window”.
