Rep. Pete Stark Apologizes for Bush Insult as Censure Vote Falls Short

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

Quote:

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.

One can see how these partisan "gocha" games are played. Of course words mean things and people need to watch what they say. But having said that, we need to allow people to explain themselves and accept their apologies when they use the wrong words to express their thoughts.
