Video: A fresh, new Pete Stark Raving Mad moment

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 14, 2009 02:23 PM

Nothing like another Pete Stark Raving Mad moment to show us all how Democrats conduct themselves with the utmost civility and dignity.

Add this one to his Greatest Unhinged Hits.

Stark attended a town hall meeting on health care in Fremont, Calif. over the weekend. A senior citizen lit into various Obamacare talking points and told Rep. Stark: “Don’t pee on my leg and then tell me it’s raining.”

At 1:38 of the video clip, Stark grabbed the microphone and lashed back: “I wouldn’t dignify you by peeing on your leg. It wouldn’t be worth wasting the urine.”

At least he didn’t threaten to throw his critic out a window this time.

No comment from Nancy Pelosi.

    Can we all stop with the “Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining” thing, okay? That line is about 7 or 8 years old and is really not that clever or funny anymore.

    Being as old as it is, it makes anyone who says it look foolish and about 6 years out of date.

    Please, stope saying this stupid thing to these idiot Democrat representatives.

    Surely we can come up with something better!

    I have been thinking about something to do with my Pelosi Puppet Congressman. If he votes for Obamacare, which he will, I think I am going to mail him a cardboard packing box and tell him, “Based on your vote, after November 2, 2010, you will need this.”

    The union thugs were there in force – not the purple shirts of the SEIU, but the yellow shirts of the UFCW. Plus, and this is what really has me steamed, all the O-bots were there early and were granted the use of tables from the Senior Center to put out their propaganda.

    At around 8:30 in the video, someone asks Stark if he was lying about what he said about single payer in his April/May comments, or if he is lying now about denying government take over.

    In Stark’s answer, he admits that he believes single payer will “evolve” over 20 years.

    Judge Judy’s first book is titled “Don’t Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It’s Raining” published in 1996. Before he was mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick used the line in a TV debate, but the “leg” became his “head.” I thought he was being original at the time. Kwame needs a job on Pete Stark’s staff.

    Well, I guess the first attendee, knowing what an @ss Stark is, set himself up for that one. But it’s hard to believe that any congressional representative would disparage one of his own constituents like that. What a classless jerk.

    And Stark’s example of having to show ID at an ER if you have a heart attack is ridiculous. No one is refused emergency care at an ER.

    We’re talking about more typical, longer turn-around health care.

    And by the way…. the ER WILL ask you or someone who is with you for proof of insurance and other information at some point. So getting an ID at an ER is not so far fetched. But they aren’t going to refuse to “charge the paddles” if you don’t have ID.

    Stark is an arrogant idiot.

    But if there are more constituents in the district that approve of what Pete is doing as opposed to those who don’t like it, he will be reelected and is doing what the majority in his district want him to.

    His lack of class and character is mitigated by the support he receives from the community and it sounds like he knows it.

    I see, so this guy’s precious urine wouldn’t be wasted on him…I guess he’d get an ACORN thug to pee on him for him. Yes, this is a perfect example our “public servants” in action, trampling upon his constituency with bold aplomb.

    There are a scant count of representatives in the House who deserve to be sent back in 2010 (one is MINE–Mike Rogers, who’s position (Michigan’s *8th District) is a precarious one), and I’m hoping that those (like this miscreant Peter Stark) who do not pass muster are ALL thrown out on their collective asses.

    The way I’ve always heard it is “Don’t piss on my head and tell me it’s raining”. It’s my favorite line when some a**hole is insulting my intelligence.
    Been using that line since I was a kid. (a lot more than 7 or 8 years ago)
    It doesn’t matter how old it is, it sums up the situation nicely-and no one sounds foolish using it but it sure makes the jerk you’re using it on sound foolish.

    From FoxNews. I don’t recall the event involving Start on the house floor, but it’s interesting that when Republicans tried to punish Stark as the Dems are trying to punish Wilson now, the Dems let the Stark issue slide.

So many people do not know how deep the corruption is steeped in our Congress. We can try and hope, especially with the news reporting how these hypocrites are trying to reprimand Wilson!

    Maybe he is referring to Obama’s “weed off” comment. Let’s hope he doesn’t actually pull it out and start spraying the audience. Never mind, the front row wouldn’t be in danger.
