WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Harshly criticized for saying pressure from the Jewish community was driving the push toward a possible war against Iraq, Rep. James Moran stepped down Friday as a House Democratic regional whip.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California issued a statement indicating she left Moran, D-Virginia, with little choice but to give up his leadership post.

"I have taken this action because Congressman Moran's irresponsible remarks were a serious mistake," Pelosi said in a statement. "As I said earlier this week, his comments were not only inappropriate, they were offensive and have no place in the Democratic Party."

Dems are so great!

at least he didn't embarass himself even more by going on tv 10 times trying to apologize, and he didn't offer just 1 hour of his time to discuss jewish issues

Nice to see a party and its leadership handle an issue like this the right way.

What a tool.

Well actually the first thing he did was tell everyone that his words were miunderstood. And then he said "I apologize if my words offended". I think what really surprised me was, this received almost zero national news coverage, and a really big issue wasn't made over what a bigot he is.

Damn Moran....the jewish vote is vital.

He's been dippy from the start of his political career, maybe all his life. I think he took too many head shots back when he was a boxer.

Congressman Moran may be the worst member of the Democratic Party. Hopefully this year there will be a prominent party member that can unseat this corrupt bigot from office.
