To the representative who shouted "LIE!" during the President's speech, specifically the part where he said that illegal immigrants wouldn't be covered under the reformed health care:

YOU STAY CLASSY, NOW.

Bless your heart.

EDIT: Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina is our classy dude! Wikipedia is on the case!

Why does this bother you? Though I think a President should be given respect and yelling allowed during his speech was rude..I enjoyed it. How often do our politicians have outbursts of emotions? Rarely.

[dark_puck]

It bothers me precisely because it was horrendously rude. And he's a bloody representative. He should know better.

[itzbets]

And I absolutely agree but I just don't think he should be punished for it. By punished I don't mean the media I mean the GOP and the house leader finding a fit punishment.

[dark_puck]

Well, no, I'll agree with you there.

I think the internet is punishing him more than enough.

EDIT TO ADD: As it is, the last I'd heard he'd called the White House to apologise.

The internet ALWAYS punishes more than enough, I mean the shite that goes down in Korea..thank god this didn't happen there.

I think a personal apology to the President is enough any harsher punishment and one could argue that even when rude one could no longer have free speech without getting punished.

.....Also I sometimes secretly wish for these things, and fights on the floor in Senate...because I'm evil and think it's hilarious. I am not going to go 8 years with blandness.

Oh, Andrew Jackson, we miss you terribly.
