WASHINGTON (AP) — An anti-war Democratic congressman backed off complaints about Defense Department personnel watching a House vote after the Pentagon told him they were students from the Army War College.....
"I appreciate the swift response," Stark said in his follow-up statement, without retracting or apologizing for his earlier complaints. "However, if these officers were hoping for a lesson in how Congress ought to work, then perhaps the Iraq supplemental wasn't the best debate for them to witness.
No.
He does not get off so easy on this.
He had CONTEMPT for military officers actually watching what Congress (which is the People's Business) doing and saying.
He cannot slime out of this.

Um, you know what, Pete? If our military officers required a lesson in how Congress really works, they would need to visit any of the gay bath houses that make your home district so colorful. There they might observe people engaged in a sort of "congress" that approximates your party's routine treatment of American taxpayers.
