WASHINGTON — Democratic Rep. Fortney "Pete" Stark of California apologized Tuesday for comments he made last week suggesting President Bush was sending troops to Iraq to get their "heads blown off for his amusement."

The apology came after the House voted 196-173 with eight members voting present to table a resolution introduced by House Minority Leader John Boehner censuring Stark.

Brit's showed his apology on his show.

The emails must have been overwhelming.

I guess that CNN poll was not representative to the rest of the country.

[Pistolshot]

Stark should be gone at his next election run. What he said is unforgivable.

[airborne]

He doesn’t mean it.

He’s just covering his a$$ because one of his staff told him the poll numbers look bad.

[mware]

Just like the git, he apologized to his collegues first, than the president, THAN the troops as an afterthought.

Fox News does not have the video up yet, when it come up, I'll post a link.

Yeah he jumped the shark, but the shark caught up this time.

My comments previously posted here...

[pissant]

He should hang for treason, frankly.

[dainbramaged]

Your so-called apology is too late, numbskull.

In other words Pete Stark crawls on his belly and eats poop after a severe beating by the Democratic leadership.

[mware]

Sorry about that I should have checked to see if a thread was up.

[mware]

The first apology should have went to the troops and their families, than the president.

[I still care]

I always notice these apologies take a few days to come.

It’s sad that people have to check their polls to see if they should apologize, or not.

"Yeah he jumped the shark, but the shark caught up this time."

Too bad the shark couldn't have found his manhood in the act, now that would be impossible.

[Mark was here]

Amazing that 173 felt that Stark was just fine.

[Savage Beast]

Not only were Stark’s comments mean spirited, nasty, cruel, and stupid, but they were untrue and provided ammunition for America’s enemies both at home and abroad. They say nothing about President Bush. They speak volumes about Stark. And they reveal—yet again—the basic mendacity of the Left and its Political Machine, the Democrat Party.

Should have taken a bite out of his "RAT A$$"!

[digger48]

He was crying because Nancy had her aged, manicured nails dug firmly into his scrotum.

The Rats made a deal. They couldn’t afford this Censure to pass.

[Jacquerie]

Like the Clintons, Stark apologized when he and party leaders realized his comments were politically damaging. For rats, that is what qualifies as “courage.” barf.
