When are Republicans going to defeat crazy old Pete Stark (D-CA), who keeps saying things like this?

Representative Pete Stark, the California Democrat who is chairman of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health, told Republicans: “You don’t have money to fund the war or children. 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.”

Claiming that George W. Bush is sending troops to Iraq to “get their heads blown off for [his] amusement” is, of course, a vile smear. True to form, however, Atrios refers to Republican objections as a “hissy fit” and calls the GOP “WATBs,” which means “whiny ass titty babies” — an ironic position given that he works for Media Matters, which throws “hissy fits” over similar statements from Republicans on a daily basis.
