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.

Reading their reactions makes me all warm inside.
Fortney did the honorable thing? Who knew? I guess I have to e-mail him again and commend him. This is going to hurt.
I second
Unless the spineless chickens on both sides of the aisle agreed to a voice vote.

I’ll grudgingly give Stark a few points for apologizing rather than taking a page out of the Dem playbook and “brazening out” a gaffe like Her Thighness does.
He’s still a first class jerk.
If this were a Republican the next step would be to demand his resignation.
He should have apologized earlier. Sounds like a deal went under the table. His fellow RATS told him to apologize and they’d kill the motion to censure. Then and only then after the motion was killed would the loudmouth dweeb apologize. Sheesh!
Oh, no, Fred Grandy is in TROUBLE!! Anyone listen to the Grandy and Andy Morning show in D.C.? Grandy, a died in the wool vegan promised to eat a cheeserbuger on air if he apologized!!
BWAAAA! Go read comment #10 from DinahMoeHum!
Dang it.
I want Pelosi, Harry Reid, Stark and their whole ship of fools to
keep spouting louder and louder.
And never explain, never apologize even as their comments get louder
and crazier.
So the general public won’t mistake them for sane, reasonable people.
Which is their campaign for attaining The White House again.
There are no reasonable persons on DU.
It's a telling thing, IMO, that the Left simply cannot express themselves without resorting to a litany of profanity. It's the only vocabulary they seem to possess.
So, a reprobate, an atheist and a traitor walk into a bar, and the bartender says, “The usual Mr. Stark?”
Those people are pigs!
Hmmmmmmmmmm, he pulled this stunt on Thursday and it took how many days for this apology to come.....sounds like someone strong armed him......LMAO...I love the part about him going back to being insignificant........
The ones who voted to table (kill) this simple censure resolution don’t support our troops and are traitors to the US.
ROFLOL!!!!!
I want to see that one. :-) I'll even make the cheeseburger for him!
