Pete Stark Controversy

Not much to say on it; not as if he said anything I haven't heard before. Not withstanding his past comments, real, alleged or false, yes, I forgive him. What bother's me more is that he hopes to "become as insignificant as I (Pete Stark) should be" by his apologizing. Hate what he said if you feel justified in doing so, but his attitude about himself, giving him the benefit of the doubt as to his sincerety, doesn't seem very healthy to me. Besides, how insignificant do constituents want their respective Congressmen to be? I assume most would say not very.
