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.

WOW !!! First time looking at that site. I need a shower. What foul mouthed venom they get away with posting.

rface,
Thanks a lot, after clicking on your link I now am wiping my entire body down with a sanitizer.

The language over there is quite, well, different than here.

Did the House join hands to sing “Kumbayah”?

[roses of sharon]

Well, good on him, a small step toward the Democrat Party becoming American again.

"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 really think he misspoke. Liberals aren't very good on the precise meaning of words. What he really meant is that he wants to duck out of the line of fire, lie low, and stay unnoticed until this affair blows over. Like all politicians, he likes to be seen, maybe, but admired for doing something good, not for screwing up and saying something stupid and self-destructive.

What's really funny about it, of course, is that "insignificant" is unintentionally exactly the right word for him. He didn't mean it, but it fits just right.

I, too, checked to see if this was Scrappleface or some other satirical web site. No, he's just a stupid liberal, with a habit of bending words to fit, who panicked and used the wrong word about himself. Worse yet, it was unintentionally exactly the right word.

Dear Mr. Stark;

Please resign.

Thank you.

Yeah, but they usually do one step forward, eight steps back.

[El Cid]

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.

Now that was pretty funny. I thought they were pretty devoid of humor over there...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

A Democrat apologizing? Stanley Cup playoffs in Hell!

“Rep. Pete Stark Apologizes For Suggesting Bush Enjoys Troop Deaths in Iraq”

“Suggesting”? Hell, he didn’t suggest a thing, he came right out and said it.

[Army Air Corps]

He should return to the ‘’Loony Bin’’ which is where he should be, and where he belongs!

They won't take him - he drives the schizos nuts.

[JFC]

after reading their remarks, it makes me more and more determined to NOT LET A LIB BACK in the white house.

They are loons!

Send Grandy an email reminding him of his promise:

DUmmies React in HORROR!!!

Some days I think that FR & DU are opposite sides of the same coin. Threads like that remind me that we are most certainly not.

[Redbob]

""I hope that with this apology, I return to being as insignificant as I should be," he concluded..."

No problem there, Congress"man" Stark!

[wideawake]

I’m impressed that he said: “whom I’ve offended” rather than “who may have been offended.”

Ping for safe viewing later.

[elhombrelibre]

Don’t want you to miss this ping.

I return to being as insignificant as I should be

No problem there, however, your words are significant and I am sure you will hear them over and over when it comes time for your reelection. And if there are any Americans left in your Congressional District then you should get tossed out on yor ear, finally. After all 34 years is more than enough time to serve in the public sector.

[RandallFlagg]

What was his promise?
