More on Joe Wilson and Illegal Immigrants’ Healthcare

by

Gotta love it when a politician acts badly, only to be caught in his own web of deceipt. Did you know that Joe Wilson Voted To Provide Taxpayer Money For Illegal Immigrants’ Healthcare. Thanks to my friend Dave for alerting me to this.  I wonder at what point voters will get sick of those whose deceitfulness is systematic and so transparent?  By the way, if you think that I am too partisan, then let me alert you to the fact that Charlie Rangel continues to be in deep trouble and will soon be in search of new work as well.  Or, perhaps, we should celebrate the staying power of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford who insists on staying in office despite violating the law. But, finally, members of his own party are getting fed up.  The point, bad behavior is not the property of only one party, and we should stop letting our partisan interests deter us from demanding that our elected officials follow the law.

Joe Wilson is now is Offline

Joe Wilson, or should I say Addison Graves Wilson Sr., man up! You become the poster child for political incivility and all you can do is issue a written statement? How about you fess up to the fact that yourlittle public tirade was itself a lie? And, Lots of folks are covering the untruth uttered by Wilson. (Or, could it be that Wilson’s uncovered some secret plot, something only he knows about?)

And, Joe, why go offline? Really, check for yourself, Joe Wilson is offline. (edit: site now claims to be down due to “high traffic.”) How about you stand up and speak clearly, like the President of the United States?  Are you scared that a “mob” might form on the Internet–kinda like the forces you and your right-wing ideologues have unleashed to quash meaningful debate about health care?

Now that I’ve fulminated a bit, perhaps its time for some perspective on just how august Congress really is. Indeed, Joe’s behavior continues a long line of incivility in those hallowed halls.  For example, check out this list of great Congressional fistfights. There are rules of order for a reason I guess.
