Congresswoman apologizes for comments to wheelchair-using candidate

Who's apologizing now?

This slimebag Wyoming candidate, Rep. Barbara Cubin, who apparently feels its ok to bully disabled people - 'If you weren't sitting in that chair, I'd slap you across the face."

USA: Today she issued an apology: Seeking to put an end to an incident that pundits say could tighten an already close U.S. House race, Rep. Barbara Cubin issued a public apology Tuesday for a comment she made to a disabled Libertarian candidate following a testy debate. "It was person to person and it was not an attack on the disabled," Cubin said in a telephone interview from Rock Springs, Wyo. "In retrospect I was wrong in what I said and I apologize."

And we wonder why our kids are such bullies at school....and why the victims are sometimes pushed to their limits to combat the bullying....
