Congressman says some people aren't worth peeing on

(CNN) — Rep. Barney Frank, D-Massachusetts, raised eyebrows last month when he told a constituent at a raucous health care town hall event, "Trying to have a conversation with you would be like arguing with a dining room table."

Now Rep. Pete Stark, D-California, is involved in a similar instant YouTube classic, telling a town-hall participant over the weekend that he wouldn't "waste the urine" to pee on the man's leg.

First reported by the San Francisco Chronicle and confirmed by a YouTube clip of the event, the longtime congressman made the remark after the participant launched into a long, but calm, litany about government inefficiency when it comes to nation's health care system. The man concluded his remarks with warning Stark not to "pee on my leg and tell me it's raining."

As the audience cheered, a calm Stark responded: "Well, I wouldn't dignify you by peeing on your leg. It wouldn't be worth wasting the urine."

[eleny]

More like, "touché".

[LibDemAlways]

6. Good for Pete Stark. He was responding to a stupid comment with

a fast comeback. Wish we had more like him.

[NYC_SKP]

8. Hell, I'll be on that teabagger's leg...

I drink plenty of fluids, I have no shortage of urine.

[gordianot]

10. Urine could be used as alternative fuel someday, to valuable to waste on the leg of a Republican.

[Arugula Latte]

15. It also comes in handy in case of a jellyfish sting.

Let us not waste our valuable urine reserves!

[gordianot]

19. Thanks, I'll pass that on to my son next time he takes a midnight swim in the Florida Keys.

[tama]

29. Excellent fertilizer

[hatrack]

12. Does that make the winger in the audience a peebagger?

[truthisfreedom]

30. PEEBAGGER!

[wolfgangmo]

13. I wouldn't pee on one of them.

But I would suggest to them that they don't call the communist fire department. Those government boys would only screw things up.

[strategery blunder]

14. I hope teabagger's not wasting our taxpayer funds on his Medicare. n/t

[and-justice-for-all]

16. Haha!! love it...nt

[Kali]

17. the guy started it, but it will be good for:

[HillWilliam]

18. Reminds me of an old (and very a` propos) saying

I wouldn't piss up the teabaggers' arses if their guts were on fire. There's you another waste of pee.

[David__77]

20. That's the spirit we need more of!

Enough with the measured "debate." There is no debate. There is political struggle, that is all.

[Arkana]

21. Hahaha it's Lyndon Johnson reincarnated.

Pete Stark is awesome, California--thanks for putting him in the Congress.

[avaistheone1]

26. You are welcome.

[mac56]

23. Brilliant. Good job, Congressman.

And naturally, CNN's headline omits the context.

Add: So what will be the RW outrage around this? That the guy DOES actually deserve to be peed on?!

[parasearchers]

24. I disagree, some people are always worth

peeing on, teabaggers in general..

[ShortnFiery]

25. Stark needs to add: "... even if they are on fire."

[SemperEadem]

27. HA!! I would have loved to see the look of incredulity on the man's face

upon finding himself in a "Wile E. Coyote" moment---having just run off the cliff and realizing that there was no ground underneath him.

Well done, Mr. Stark.

[DWilliamsamh]

28. DAYUMMMMM.... I hope he's in a safe seat. (N/T)

[pleah]
