Republican Nutters Reunion

The Republican Party's planned another attack on America last night, appears to be the number one topic this morning. When congressman Puppet shouted out his vile and lying accusation, it was designed to distract Americans from talking about the President's speech. They succeeded.

The planned outburst is what we are talking about, instead of the President's plans to revamp our Country's sorry health situation.

We must ask ourselves why we listen to anyone as undisciplined, arrogant, and hateful as the congressman from South Carolina. The Republicans chose their point man well. Congressman Puppet delivered even better than the civilians whose disruptive outbursts at town hall meetings across the nation made headlines.

What a lousy example of democracy for the rest of the world to see, as panning cameras caught many of these elected Republicans snickering, grimacing, and waving papers in the air. It looked like a reunion for graduates of Nutter High.

Now, can we please drop these boys' lowjinks and discuss what our President said Wednesday night? Can we push the nutters back under the ground from which they oozed?

What lesson do our children learn from this disrespect of the President by Joe (not his real name) Wilson?

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall of the GOP meeting where someone came up with the brilliant idea of turning Joe Wilson into a rugged individualist Republican anti-hero. Never mind, I wouldn't have stayed on that wall. With all of that manure flying around the room, it would have been too big of a feast for a fly to pass up.

Better to be a fly on the wall than the one on Lieberman's pants.

...especially considering two components of that area that are missing...

UPDATE: There's hope after all.

I checked out various daily newspapers in South Carolina and was both pleased and surprised to find comments (under articles about Wilson's planned and creepy outburst) that were almost 100 per cent ashamed of what he had done.

In about six dailies, I found only one comment that praised his action. All the other comments were extremely anti-Wilson, -Sanford and -DeMint.

Too bad nobody included Lindsey Graham in the obstructionist category.

Meanwhile, though, on YouTube, Joltin' Joe #Wilson's pitch to raise more money seems to be getting a lot of nationwide attaboys from Red staters, Lou Dobbsian xenophobes and Klan-Lite... Half the KKK pageantry, all of the racism.

It's just sick and a little depressing.

Yeah, what's up with the hate spewing from Dobbs, Beck, Limbaugh, Palin, Hannity, all whack jobs with low self-esteem issues.

I guess it gets them media coverage. As they say, nobody wants to read about a plane landing safely.
