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.

He was sobbing? Well, good! Jerk.

[Hoodlum91]

I was thinking the same thing!

Mrs. Fred will be pi**ed!

[Red_Devil 232]

I bet what happened was that a “few” of the Dems went to him and pressured him into apologizing by saying, “If you don’t we will vote along with the Repubs to censure you”! This idiot had no choice! Not a choice he made but a choice made for him!

[PLD]

Maybe just maybe these fools will be defeated come election time since America is getting the true picture of these evil beings.

I return to being as insignificant as I should be,”

I noticed this too. Either he has really had a “come to Jesus meeting” and seen the light or he doesn’t like being in the spot light and having what he really is about being exposed. (most likely the second).

Hard to distinguish truth from satire any more..........

“I hope that with this apology, I return to being as insignificant as I should be,” ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,He should return to the ‘’Loony Bin’’ which is where he should be, and where he belongs!,,,,,,,,Go pound sand DUMMIES!

We need this in writing, on his letter head, with his real living signature..... Wonder how much this historical document would fetch for fallen military charity.

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.

Stark is apparently a real loon from what I’ve heard about him.

*ouch* I’m stealing that...

Did the House join hands to sing “Kumbayah”?

[bigjoesaddle]

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.

Reminds me of the first time I heard Randi Rhodes. Within the first 5 minutes she said the preasident should be shot for treason. Unreal.

[Beckwith]

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

Of course he has emotional issues - - he's a progressive dhimmicrat.

==> “I nominate this for BREAKING NEWS!” <==

I nominate this for BREAKING WIND!

[stratboy]

Shocking ... At least he was big enough to admit his mistake - instead of pulling some Right Wing did this to me excuse like other RATS do.

[CougarGA7]

That’s just a side effect of lacking coherent thought.

[chimera]

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

Hey, these are 'Rats. They stick together and protect their own. They're in the majority and nothing proposed by 'Pubs in the House of any substance will pass. Remember how they rallied around Clinton? It didn't matter what he did, they were going to stand by him, even though he used them to spread his lies and ended up humiliating them.

I hope the video is YouTubed for those who didn’t see it.

Thanks, Admins.
