Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina set a new record for boorishness in the House tonight when he shouted,"You lie!" at President Obama during his health care address. Wilson is--what else?--a Republican. John Dingle of Michigan is a Democrat and the longest-serving member in the House, he said that Wilson's infantile behavior was only natural for him since he was a Republican and the poor schlub couldn't help it. This child-man should be severely reprimanded by the House; better, he should grow some sense of dignity and resign his seat (and take bat-shit crazy Jean Schmidt of Ohio with him).
For their response to the President's speech the Republicans chose a congressman who is a birther, and who once fell for a scam that promised he could buy himself the English title of Lord! You truly can't make this stuff up. His Lordship gave Bobby Jindall a good run for his money in the numb-nuts-deer-in-the-headlights competition. Too bad Paula Abdul isn't around to judge this one.
Good presidents are lucky presidents, and Barack Obama has lucked into the craziest goddam bunch of political quacks since the Marx Brothers rampaged through Freedonia.
Great job tonight, Mr. President. The haters and the nit-wits will present themselves to you like worms wriggling up from wet ground: thread them onto hooks and catch some fish with them!
