Calling a politician a liar is like calling a pig pork. One politician calling another a liar is a secret sign like the handshake of Masons and Shriners.

Wilson should be rebuked in some manner. I favor a greater sense of decorum in the hallowed halls of gov’t and just because it’s filled with so many Dems is no reason one shouldn’t conform to that sense of decorum and ettiquette.

But he was right as rain and getting an official “shame on you” was well worth it.

The House will rebuke Rangel when he declares, on the floor of the chamber, he’s “Seen the Light!” and graciously gives back to their rightful owners (usually the taxpayers) all the monies he’s stolen for himself and his pet projects or caused to be lost (like forcing mortgage regulations to be relaxed) and admits he was waaayyy over the line in calling Bush 43 stupid and a liar.

I won’t hold my breath.

When the House votes formally to “rebuke” Charlie Rangel, please let me know!

Well, I can’t support Representative Wilson because I am on the wrong side of the Pond. But I can’t help wondering whether these people would prefer to see a House that was like the proverbial Young Ladies’ Seminary than a political debating chamber.

As far as this Old Seadog is concerned, Representative Wilson should invite Speaker Pelosi to attempt the following. Perform aeronautical intercourse with a rolling cylindrical object. You old War Horses know it by it’s more colorful version.

…and in 2010, Americans will “formally rebuke” the House of Representatives – otherwise known as the “pussy house of communists and waste of sperm”.

I like your idea of a “Rebuke Desk.” And for once I wouldn’t mind the House wasting my tax money on it, as long as they named it the “Pelosi/Murtha Desk of Unfettered Shame”.

Being a fellow South Carolinian, I agree with what Joe Wilson said.
About 150 years ago a SC Senator, incensed at a speech another Senator had made, walked into the Senate chambers and beat the guy unconcious with his metal tipped cane. Obama should consider himself lucky.

It is my considered opinion that Wilson was provoked. It’s like self-defense. Someone repeatedly lies to your face and you just spontaneously respond. Like being punched and hitting back.

I guess I’ll have to make a donation.
