Pete StarkSan Francisco Democrat In House Seeks Lower Taxes -- By Claiming Maryland Residency
Stark's Humiliating Retraction Framed as Republican FailureWith pressure mounting, Democratic Congressman Pete Stark finally apologized today for his reprehensible statements on the House floor last week. In his disjointed anti-war rant last Thursday, Stark shamefully remarked:
Republicans immediately objected, with House Minority Leader John Boehner demanding a retraction and noting that "Congressman Stark's statement dishonors not only the commander in chief, but the thousands of courageous men and women of America's armed forces who believe in their mission and are putting their lives on the line for our freedom and security.'' Will Pete Stark’s Apology to President Bush Get Reported?
As NewsBusters reported Friday, Rep. Pete Stark (D-Cal.) made some rather disgusting comments on the floor of the House last week about kids being sent "to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president`s amusement."

Crawford appeared on today's "Morning Joe," and while the MSNBC political analyst certainly didn't approve Stark's statement, he did try to soft-pedal it, smilingly portraying it as just one more outburst from a congressional scamp.

Olbermann teased Thursday's show while showing the words "Unhealthy GOP Vote" on-screen: ABC Equates 'Christian Right' With 9-11 Terrorists as Driving People to Atheism
Keying off an atheists convention being held this weekend, GMA ran a segment on the "Rise in Atheism." Seeking to explain the phenomenon, as images rolled first of the WTC in flames and then of a man placidly holding a sign that simply read "One Nation Under God" and of a display at a demonstration of the Ten Commandments, ABC's Liz Marlantes stated: |
