McDermott Omits 'Under God' from Pledge -- GOPUSA: "Congressman Jim McDermott, Democrat from the State Washington, failed to say the words 'under God' as he led the House in the pledge on Tuesday morning. A producer for C-SPAN, the cable channel who covers House floor proceedings gavel to gavel, immediately called the main offices at C-SPAN to relay to them Mr. McDermott's omission when reciting the pledge. C-SPAN Spokeswoman, Robin Scullin, confirmed the omission but also said no calls of complaints were received from viewers."

Not a big deal except when questioned Democrats claim it was inadvertant. Not so... Last month McDermott said:

"I personally don't think it adds anything to the Pledge of Allegiance, and I personally don't say, 'under God,'" McDermott is quoted as saying. "I consider it an infringement that I don't like. I don't like infringements of church and state. And so I don't know that I'm rigid, but I try to be consistent."
