"If we can get enough kids to grow old enough to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President's amusement." Rep. Pete Stark

Rep. Stark was talking about the fact that the Republicans and the President were expressing concern with finding enough money to fund the SCHIP bill but seemed to have no problem finding money to fund the Iraq war.

He was clearly angry and spoke with much passion, if not a lot of eloquence. I appreciated his remarks personally.

I just saw a CNN poll asking its viewers if Pete Stark should apologize to the President, 11% said he should and 89% said he should not. It appears I am not the only one who appreciates Rep. Starks passion.
