WASHINGTON — Five Democratic congresswomen on Wednesday called for GOP Rep. Allen West to apologize for his email tirade against a fellow Florida lawmaker.

Reps. Gwen Moore of Wisconsin, Carolyn Maloney of New York, Donna Edwards of Maryland, Jackie Speier of California and Lois Capps of California denounced West for calling Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz "vile, despicable and cowardly" after she criticized his stance on Medicare.

"His words were nothing more than personal attacks," said Maloney, who appeared with her four female colleagues at a news conference. "It's incredibly disrespectful."

The congresswomen, who said they were friends as well as colleagues of Wasserman Schultz, also called on the GOP leadership to rebuke West for his outburst.

The controversy began Tuesday when Wasserman Schultz called into question West's stance on Medicare during the debate over a spending cap and balanced budget bill before the House.

West, a first-term Republican from south Florida, responded by sending an email to numerous lawmakers as well as Wasserman Schultz, who also is the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.

The subject line of the email: "Unprofessional and Inappropriate Sophomoric Behavior from Wasserman Schultz."

.
The email said: "Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up."

In her remarks on the House floor, Wasserman Schultz said: "The gentleman from Florida, who represents thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, as do I, is supportive of this plan that would increase costs for Medicare beneficiaries. Unbelievable from a member from south Florida."

She was alluding to a GOP-backed bill to reduce the debt and amend the Constitution to require a balanced federal budget.

In his email, West said Wasserman Schultz has proven "that you are not a Lady" and "shall not be afforded due respect from me!" He said he was alerting House leaders to her "heinous characterless behavior."

Moore said that such attacks are often made against women who seem strong and knowledgeable.

"There's always someone who will rebuke them (the women) for not being a lady," Moore said.

There is some history between the two Florida lawmakers. Wasserman Schultz and other women protested outside West's campaign office about columns that West wrote appearing in a biker magazine that the protesters said denigrated women.

She is vile, despicable and cowardly, so why should he apologize?

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Because it is a sad day when the US Government cannot even hold itself to Speaker's Corner standards.

Quite right, Dems in general, including Rep Schultz, should stop pretending to be so holier than...

I am referring to the general uncivil tone/rhetoric. That is related to the original topic of this thread. The use of the expression "holier than thou" is often used in a context unrelated to religion or family values.

Hey you guys dreamed it up as a marketing tool....even if it has been hugely false advertising.
I know you REALLLY hate that being pointed out to you.. but facts is facts. At this point if I hear it... its a dead giveaway that the fucker is at the very least incapable of keeping his pants zipped... either at the local gay club or some toilet stall somewhere. Once in a while yall luck out and its even heterosexual adultery or some other lesser evil

Sorry for being so "uncivil" but there has been a distinct lack of conservative "gentlemen" for quite a while now.

It appears the two have a history at going at each other.

She is a ditz

Saying "that you are not a Lady" is a war on women ... give me a break.

Your assessment has the same validity as an allegation of "Democrat War on Black Continues." After all, West is a black man.

So I'll accuse those who make this allegation of being racist. How bout them apples?

I disagree, that sounds right inline with the SC standard opperating procedures. Why argue the merits of your stance when you can attack the poster and contribute noise to the conversation.

When was that? Was it when they were all getting drunk and having sex with anything they could find?

It's amazing to me that people think this is outlandish, etc. Meanwhile, Congresspersons are IMMUNE from liability for anything they say on the floor of Congress! THat's right. Any Congressman could get on the floor fo Congress and say, "Lawrocket is a war criminal and sex offender who seeks to destroy the integrity of the human family." And he/she would be completely immune. I'd have no recourse.

For any of you that operate under the assumption that this sort of behavior doesn't occur and has not occurred throughout history, it demonstrates ignorance. I have ZERO problem with the Congressman engaging in a fight.

Why do Congresspeople outright LIE in Congress? Because they can!

Especially when they voted for a bill that strips half a trillion dollars out of Medicare.

I think it's possible she was being a RASIST. The Black Leadership should begin congressional hearings and bring disciplinary actions against her for her obvious objectionalbe (Vile) comments.

I couldn't have said it better myself. She is a joke and deserves what was said about her. She has no problem dishing it but cannot take it when it comes back. Sack up woman. This is nothing compared to how some of the GOP women have been treated.

It's not a "war on women." It's just a rude guy being a scumbag. I'm sure he'd say something similar to a guy who said the same thing,

By their own party.. as evidenced by the fucknuggets here who refer to women like Sen Snowe in such inclusive statements over the last few years.
Even now it looks like those in the GOP heirarchy are doing everything they can to push the Tea Party Darling from Minn-E-SO-tah.... under the largest bus they can find.

Its a pattern of behaviors and actions done by a whole group of scumbags that denigrate issues that affect most women in the country.. from health ie plaaned parenthood.. medicare to SS since women generally outlive the poor dears in the more fragile portion of the species.
