Despicable behaviour-
despicable
adj

Definition: hateful; beyond contempt
Antonyms: desirous, honorable, likeable, loveable, respectable, virtuous, worthy




The use of this word bothers me almost as much as the forced apology.

Come ON people!!!- What did Rep. Stark say that rises to the level of "despicible"?


"Go Fuck Yourself"- was INDEED a despicible statement.

And as someone pointed out on here today- there was no censure issued for that- and no apology offered.

As a matter of fact the person who uttered those words underscored them by saying this on National TV in refrence to his despicible outburst:

“I think a lot of my colleagues felt what I had said badly needed to be said, that it was long overdue,” “I expressed myself rather forcefully, felt better after I had done it,” Cheney said.


What is wrong with this country??????

2. The truth is not allowed
Dems are not supposed to have spines. At least not without apologizing for them. It's deplorable.

4. not sure its
the spine that is the problem

Hell- sheep have spines, but they don't defend themselves very well- when you expose a sheeps belly or "tip them up" (like for shearing) they give up- their only defense is to run.

Now, I know that Stark isn't a sheep- but someone must be threatening his belly- or the belly of someone dear to him.

Where was the Dem leadership in his defense?

Did anyone SPEAK OUT in his defense??

:shrug:
