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.

I read that line and immediately looked for “the onion” or “scrappleface”.
CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THAT HE ACTUALLY SAID THIS?!!!

As “insignificant as I should be”...???? Meaning he has no purpose being there? HuH?
To: lesser_satan
It’s not satire. He really *is* a loony toon.
To: rface
"I hope that with this apology, I return to being as insignificant as I should be," I could accept that apology if I were Dubya.

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.

What is more sickening is that a censure motion would even fail

He should resign. He’s obviously being forced to apologize.

Now this is the first time I ever went on to DU, and I am very surprised that those folks who post are so profane.
My word, that amount of incivility would make any reasonable person shudder.
It seems those people don’t like Nancy Pelosi any more than we do!
Hah!
