Joe "The Heckler" Wilson Refuses to Apologize in the House

Joe "The Heckler" Wilson Refuses to Apologize in the House, originally uploaded by thepetecom.

This screencap comes from an article on Reuters.com. It reports on how the Republican

Representative from South Carolina refuses to apologize on the House

floor. Wilson was apparently on Fox News Sunday today (WHO SAW THAT

COMING???) where he said that he is a person who believes in the truth

and felt he had to say something when he heard the President of the

United States make misstatements in a live, televised address watched

around the world.



Fine--forget the massive show of disrespect, forget the message of

disorder a House rep heckling the President sends other countries (AND

AL QEADA! GASP!), forget that there's plenty of time for him to be on

Fox News after Obama was done speaking. I'll ignore all of that and in

exchange for the answer to just one question:



Where was this idiot over the last eight years? When Bush trumped up

reasons to go into Iraq did Joe The Heckler call him George The Liar?

When Dick Cheney spoke bald-faced lies about Saddam Hussein having

connection with Al Qeada did Joe The Heckler hold a press conference

where he called Dick out?



No, of course not. Why? Because Wilson is a liar, himself. I just

proved it.



I really hope the Dems grow a pair on this one and censure Joe Wilson.

Sure they were too spineless to even try to impeach Bush but this

should be much easier.



It's also a shame that almost nobody is calling Wilson and other

Republicans out for their money-first/human-life-second (or third or

fourth) attitude.



They recognize no hypocrisy when they call themselves "pro-life" but

then fight for war and fight to bail-out the banks and corporations

and now fight to make sure all Americans don't have access to

healthcare.



The fact that the Democrats don't just put the smackdown on the

Republicans pretty much proves that America is anything but "a culture

of life."



I also wonder how long it's going to be before people notice the

Revolving Door politicians use to kiss corporate ass now in exchange

for good corporate jobs later once they leave their cushy positions in

politics (only to end up back as politicians or in appointed

government positions later).



So in the end Wilson's ego is now too big to allow him to apologize on

the House floor and his brain is too stupid to realize that such an

apology on the House floor would be a great opportunity to call Obama

out again.



Duh.



On a side note, I'm wondering why Reuters put that article in their

"Canada" section. Ah well...
