Ousted: Stark Lasts One Day As Rangel’s Replacement

Pelosi Boy Scouts

The Hill:

Rep. Sandy Levin (D-Mich.) will be the acting chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced to her caucus on Thursday.

The startling announcement comes a day after Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.) appeared ready to take the reins of the committee from Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.).

Stark was the next in line for the post in terms of seniority, but some panel members recoiled at the idea of his leading the committee. Stark is known for making controversial and eccentric remarks, and in 2007 he apologized on the House floor for comments about President George W. Bush and the Iraq War.

    If there was a shit-hole contest in central California, Stark’s 13th Congressional District would give Oakland a run for it’s money.

    Which goes a long ways towards explaining why the voters there have an insane individual as their Rep..
