Democrat Pete STARK APOLOGIZES to PRESIDENT and TROOPS

Embattled Democrat Pete Stark has just publicly apologized to "the president and his family."

He took the floor after his fellow Democrats successfully killed a motion to censure him in the wake of his remarks last Thursday asserting that American troops were fighting in Iraq to have their "heads blown off for the president's amusement."

"I want to apologize to my colleagues, many of whom I have offended," Stark began. He then apologized to "the president and his family" and "the troops."

"I hope that with this apology, I return to being as insignificant as I should be," he concluded though a voice cracking with emotion.

"A lot of liberals are seriously screwed up. You can tell that by reading a conservative blog or forum, and then reading the ones on the left. It isn’t just that we disagree on the issues. There’s a whole different tone.

FreeRepublic, for example, is full of satire. DU is just filled with whining and hate. Conservatism is usually logical and coherent. Liberalism is emotional and shallow. Liberals are paranoid, obsessed, and generally screwed up. Most of them suffer from arrested emotional development."

I think you hit the nail on the head here, sir...;-)

[avacado]

I had to go look at your reply and you are right. They are identical. GREAT MINDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

[whatexit]

No doubt his original statement has been broadcast countless times on Al-Jazeera. They’ll of course ignore his apology.

What did you say....The DUmmies are reactionary whores?....I agree 100%

[SmithL]

DUmmies React in HORROR!!!

I try to stay away from there, but I did enjoy a quick excursion this morning.

he concluded though a voice cracking with emotion.

"Even though I live in the Bay Area, I still have to run for reelection and I just can't take the chance", Stark added.

You gotta love it when the Democratic MODERATES (Excuse me, “Progressives Lying to Appear in the Center”) are being raked over the coals by their own Left for not being Left enough, and struggling to appear Centrist enough to get ANY of the independent vote!

[NRA2BFree]

Did he get an envelope full of white powder?

The guy was correct. I think this twerp does get off on suffering and death. What I want to know is who got to him.

If a guy like this can be strongarmed there is nobody who will stand up to these ghouls.

This has to be the most ridiculous post (on this thread) at Dummyland. He actually believes that the GOP could apply enough pressure to make him apologize. Obviously, he doesn't know that the Republicans are too wimpy to say anything, and God forbid that they should actually press charges against ANY of the RATS who have broken the law. They ALWAYS give them a pass.

This might be the first time Stark has EVER apologized for any of his outrageousness.

[COBOL2Java]

WTF? Is this satire, or does this guy have some real emotional issues?

Does he have emotional issues? He's a liberal Democrat!

[phrogphlyer]

As one of the troops, I would personally like to reject this 'apology.'

Mr. Stark, in your speech from the floor of the House, you used the military in a most vile manner to try to score political points for an entirely unrelated socialist program. To do this any time would be wrong, but to do so while we are at war is unforgivable.

And then you apologize first to your colleagues you have offended? Including the troops at the end only as an afterthought? Not good enough. Try again, jackass.

[DeweyCA]

It’s not satire. He really *is* a loony toon.

he isn't just a loony toon. He is a proud, self-proclaimed, atheist loony toon.

[pookie18]

Yup...had it set for Thurs.

[COBOL2Java]

Just read some of it; one DUmmie said he must have gotten a call from Dick Cheney about apologizing or going duck-hunting with the VP.

More likely, it was a call from Hillary to apologize or join her goons in a picnic at Ft. Marcy Park...

[Frank_Discussion]

They can’t stand it that one of their moonbats flew high enough to strike the Moon and bounce off... it had to hurt... LOL.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

The DailyKos mouthbreathers are shrieking and thrashing about every bit as entertainingly as their DUmmie counterparts. ;)

[ropin71]

Started reading some of those, they’re a nasty bunch, and they say we are the ones filled with hate...

[Verbosus]

Ping for a DUmptster dive after work.

I found that out the hard way, years ago, by trying to have an intellectual discussion with a liberal. Of course, the intellectual part didn't last long and the name calling starting immediately. I'd rather wrestle with a pig than try to discuss anything with a liberal.

[CottonBall]

...For the most part, we here on FR have civil disagreements when our conclusions differ...as for the DUmmies...when you throw immaturity on top of the emotion....you have a whining, fit throwing....teenager..

Now, now....some teenagers can use advanced reasoning and logic. I'd say they're more like a 5th or 6th grader.
