You Lie
September 10th, 2009 at 7:43 am by BrianPerhaps Wilson would have received more favorable press from the media and the Donks if he had thrown his shoe at Obama.
They love that stuff.
A little something for our Dean Wormer Democrats who have lost that fun-loving spirit of booing and catcalling that helped ease their pain through the Bush years. Though we feel your pain, unlike you, we are not blessed with a love of paper mache.

Unless President Zero is pushing Marxist community organizing plans, you can bet your ass he’s lying his stupid face off.

Only…don’t be throwing a shoe at THIS PRESIDENT!!! As long as it was against evil BOOOOOSH, then it was wonderful and to be encouraged.
We are supposed to take out our prayer rugs and bow down to this President.
When he opens his mouth, he lies. Period. Puke.

Watching him speak to the nurses. His humility is Christ-like.
“No, No , No Please sit.” Head wag…jazz hands…
“In case any of you weren’t watching last night…” Laughter from crowd “…uh…uh…ha…you know…like if you were watching ‘So You Think You Can Dance’…uh…or something…well, Michelle likes that..”
Funny, I know two nurses who are stocking their cellars with field trauma kits for when we have to bug out. Probably buying Mainstay bars while he was speaking this morning.

You know, he probably should have not blurted it out. Really. That’s Code Pink crap.

O’dumbo lying? You betcha!!

This was not some reporter in a foreign country chucking shoes at the president during a photo-op. This was a presidential speech before a joint session of congress. There are actual standards of decorum expected at these things.
Consider this string of mixed metaphors with a message: Wilson’s outburst was just the immature exclamation point on the past month’s town hall nonsense. He was the awkward, dorky kid trying to hang with the rowdy crowd on the back of the bus who pushed the tomfoolery right over the limit and gets everyone in trouble. He was the looney lady at the McCain rally who called Obama an ‘Arab.’ He was your drunk friend at the party who makes a pass at your wife and pretty much shuts down the fun for the evening.
As everybody in the right-wing echo-chamber has clamored to come up with the next outrageous claim about the “Obamessiah” that will bounce around the web, this was inevitable. Much as you don’t like him, he is the president, and there is a very long tradition of showing the president some respect when he speaks to a joint session of Congress. Could be just a blip, but then again, Wilson might’ve set you back for the healthcare debate and quite possibly the mid-term elections. The political battleground is the hearts and minds of all those folks who hang out in the middle. You can get everyone’s attention on the way up with some tall tales and funny jokes, but when one of your guys thinks it would be funny to squint hard, raise a leg and let one rip in the elevator, those folks will be stepping off at the next floor.

Wishful thinking aside, I doubt Doofy Wilson’s childish outburst will change the outcome of the health care issue. It will still fail.
But in the spirit of Obama accepting Rep. Wilson’s apology, maybe you and I can enjoy an amicable beer sometime?

Tradition was broken in 2005:

I occasionally find beer to be amicable. Will Biden be there with his O’Douls?
September 10th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
No, Biden likes to drink his lunch before he goes out drunk driving.

Kidding! Of course.

He said, “This was not some ungrateful reporter freed from the boot heel of an oppressive tyranny that would have shot him in the face had he registered his dissent via wingtip, This was Preznint Arsenio whoopin’ it up in front of the Dog Pound of a Democrat-controlled Congress.”
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
Or as Michelle Obama says in her native language.
I don’t know if the bitch is saying she wants single payer healthcare or that we can’t jump to lightspeed because they can’t afford to get the hyperdrive fixed due to those rotten insurance companies all in-business-to-make-a-profit and shit.

“Tradition was broken in 2005:”
Saying “No” and booing are quite common during these events. However, these actions are not prohibited by House rules as is calling people liars.
September 11th, 2009 at 12:08 am
Oh noes! Not House rules.
Obama spent his entire speech calling people liars and fearmongers in between calling for ending “vitriol” and so that we can have a Conversation ™. Like saying that if we don’t hurry up and pass this bill before it’s been written and that doesn’t take effect until 2013 or people will die isn’t fearmongering.
Although I too would like to hear his apology for breaking decorum, he only knows how to apologize for the U.S. in front of the worst human rights abusers in the world so I’m not holding my breath.
