If your name is "Mr. Wilson" and you're an elected official and you're going to start screaming at the President during a nationally-televised speech because you think it's going to somehow make the Terminally Stupid who constitute your base think you're a swell guy, then we have no choice but to post clips of Walter Matthau as Dennis the Menace's nemesis:
...except that Wilson is more like Don Rickles as Mr. Wilson than like the crusty-but-lovable Walter Matthau.
Because there's nothing lovable about Rep. Joe Wilson.
This yahoo has apologized, but that doesn't absolve him. We aren't Jesus, and we don't let him off the hook that easily. So there's one thing to do about Rep. Joe Wilson, and that's send him back to the primordial ooze from which he came.
You know what to do.
Labels: assholes, Republican id-driven two-year-olds, right-wing hatemongers
Now is the time to call/email/snail mail your representative and DEMAND reform.
Vote Palin/Wilson and live forever!
Sigh.
I would think the difference between writing an Op Ed for the NYT and being a jackass and yelling idiot shit while the President was actually addressing Congress and the people would be obvious.
Apparently it isn't.
I seem to recall when a different Joe Wilson called a different president a liar, liberals thought it was just great"
Don't lump all liberals into your glorious label-fest. If a Citizen speaks out against a President, it's their right to do so. When a Representative or Senator does so to a seated President.. there's an issue. Which means yes... I disliked it when Harry Reid called Bush a Liar and a Idiot... because it's disrespectful.
The same should apply here, the Republicans may not like President Obama, but they should respect the office and as such keep his negativity to himself.
