Update: Pete Stark Apology

As a follow up to the last Pete Stark post, here is his apology on October 23, 2007. I somewhat expected him to apologize for his tone or for letting his emotions get the better of him, but his apology took a much different form. With this apology, I expect his wish will be granted:

“I hope that with this apology, I’ll become as insignificant as I should be”.

Pete Stark's Remarks on Bush and SCHIP

Pete Stark (D-CA), lambastes the administration for being willing to spend $200 billion for an "illegal war" but not willing to help fund the SCHIP program to insure children who can't afford it.

"But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President's amusement."

I'd love to have your thoughts on his comments.
