President Obama pitches Health Care Reform in major speech to joint session of Congress. Coverage hijacked by Republican terrorist Joe Wilson, South Carolina Republican, who shouted "You Lie," as Obama spoke.
Wilson easily wins "Congressional Jerk of the Century" award despite intense competition.
House Republican whip Eric Cantor seen tweeting during speech. Suppose he was tweeting "U lie"?
Wilson ("you lie"), Sen. Jim DeMint (make health care reform Obama's "Waterloo" -- the country be damned), Gov. Mark Sanford (Don't Cry For Me Argentina)....South Carolina now the "Moonshine State?" Where's Fritz Hollings when we need him?
Some pundidiots urge Wilson to apologize to his constituents. Are you kidding? Since outburst, he's received more than $200K in campaign contributions. So has his Democratic opponent. Let's hope this doesn't become precedent.
Wilson apologizes for outburst, sort of. But refuses to do so on floor of House, saying he was forced to do so by his Party. His sincerity matched only by his boorishness.
Wilson once worked for Strom Thurmond. Bad magnolias don't fall far from the magnolia tree.
Faux News carries So You Think You Can Dance instead of Obama's speech live. Dancers must have health care coverage.
Wingnuts already thinking about Cheney/Wilson ticket for 2012. Democrats should be so lucky.
By the way, Wilson and his family have full health care coverage through Congressional benefits and a military program known as TriCare. Hyprocisy, where is thy Stink?
Wilson now angling to show up at UN General Assembly meeting when Iranian President Ahmadinejad speaks.
Ahmadinejad planning Summit with Afghan President Karzai to compare notes on stealing elections.
Obama Administration debating whether or not to send more American forces to Afghanistan. Mr. President, remind us again why Americans are dying to protect corrupt administration, where President's brother is major drug dealer and where Afghan forces smoke pot and watch porn instead of fighting Taliban.
Conservatives stage large demonstration in Washington against "Socialism," Is Wilson's health care coverage "Socialism"? Is the Medicare that a lot of the demonstrators have "Socialism?" Is Social Security a lot of the demonstrators get "Socialism?" And where were those demonstrators when the Bush Administration was running up biggest budget deficits in history?
Do you suppose any of the demonstrators' expenses were subsidized by insurance companies? You are soooo cynical...
Democrats apparently finally resigned to pursue health care reform without Republican support. Hey, Dems, that's what you were elected to do after winning White House and majorities in both Houses of Congress. Congressional Republicans and cable noise-makers more interested in sticking it to Obama than doing what's good for the country.
Same goes for Obama non-partisan speech on education. Of course conservatives and KableKooks told followers to tune out. An educated populace would deprive them of their audience.
Labor Day observed. Thanks to lingering effects of Bush League Administration, too many laborers have nothing to observe.
Sept. 11, greatest domestic disaster in American history, observed.
Disaster compounded by continuing War in Afghanistan, War in Iraq and hole in the ground at Ground Zero.
Nine years later: Obama bin Laden, Dead or Alive?
Don Imus to appear on Fox Business Noise. They deserve each other.
In tennis version of Obama speech, U.S. Open hijacked by Serena Williams' outburst over a called foot fault. She shouted "You lie " to a line judge -- but in more colorful language. What caused the usually serene Serena to lose her cool? Don't you dare suggest PMS. Nobody ever said that about John McEnroe or Jimmy Connors.
