North Dakota Congressmen Can't Stand President Bush

Another Dem Congressmen suffers foot-in-mouth disease (h/t Drudge):

North Dakota's U.S. Rep. Earl Pomeroy calls President Bush a “clown” and says he “can’t stand” him in a new video posted on the Internet.

According to the GRAND FORKS HERALD, the Democratic congressman was approached by a group called Grassroots America last week as he was walking the streets of Washington, D.C.

An Internet video shows Rep. Earl Pomeroy talking to a member of Grassroots America, in which he calls President Bush a “clown.” A group member had approached him asking about whether Bush should be impeached.

As he talked on a mobile phone, two women approached him and asked him about impeaching Bush, giving statistics of people who approve of the idea.

As a camera rolled, Pomeroy is shown to be clearly agitated by their questions.

“Most of the people I represent think that’s (impeachment) a horrible idea. I’m a Democrat, and I can’t stand this president, but I’m to represent the people that I represent and they are against impeaching the president,” Pomeroy said while pointing and waving his arms.

At least at this point Pomeroy is still willing to represent the wishes of his constituents. That's better than many in Congress.

I'll be talking to the good folks in North Dakota again on Thursday morning, Aug 2, 10:15 am Central time as part of the "Get It Off Your Chest" program on KHND 1470 in Harvey, ND. They've invited me to do a regular weekly spot, and starting next week I'll be on at 10:15 am (Central) on Tuesdays.
