Back Talk

Congressman Pete Stark, from our fair state, uttered the latest inanity, one that would qualify him for membership in the SlimePol contingent if he were not already a member. Notorious for shooting off his insulting mouth; he once called California state welfare director Eloise Anderson a “baby-killer” and said that she would "kill children if she had her way," all because she questioned his opinion. Because of his hatred of President Bush, he made an Ass of himself again saying Bush wants funds to support the troops so they can “blow up more innocent people" and that Bush is conducting the war “for his own amusement.” Pretty responsible talk for a Congressman, huh? This jerk gives extremism a bad name. One of my favorate items about Stark, and one that solidified his position as a SlimePol Charter Member, was when a Washington Ethics Group questioned his paying his wife Deborah $176,800 over three election cycles for her work as a campaign treasurer. He is a poster boy lefty, the Starkster is a self-righteous, anti-war, atheist, Berkeley grad, Socialist who has undermined the war effort, voted against every troop funding bill and has joined in the wasteful silliness with fellow SlimePol John Conyers to impeach the President. Even the liberal San Francisco Chronicle reported that "Only a politician who assumes he has a job for life could behave so badly.”
Thank you Pete for once again embarrassing yourself and every Californian and further driving down Congressional public approval. I don’t even want to contemplate what it says about the voters in his 13th District who have kept him in office since 1973. Yikes.
