Crybaby Bill Thomas apologizes on House floor
BWAHAAAAAA! This is typical rethuglican chicken-shit bully behavior - blubbering like a baby for getting caught! What kind of person is this - crying in public!! This guy has major mental problems!



Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) tearfully apologized on the House floor yesterday for asking Capitol Police officers to evict Democrats from a committee room Friday, as Republicans worked to quell bad publicity stemming from the fracas.

The extraordinary public admission -- Thomas broke down in tears as he addressed a hushed chamber usually reserved for policy debates and state speeches -- capped a week of quiet damage control by GOP leaders. Furious at the thought of handing Democrats a public relations win, top Republicans have spent hours in closed-door meetings lecturing senior members on proper decorum.

1. I'm just glad he apologized
It's probably the first admission by a Republican that their tactics have been wrong and I'll accept it any way it comes.

2. agreed
the fact alone that he admitted his mistake and showed contrition, makes him twice the man that Bush* is. or for that matter, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Perle, Blair, Straw, et al.
