Men behaving badly

Last night, during Obama’s healthcare speech:

During George W. Bush’s 2005 State of the Union address:

Bad manners on both sides. Joe Wilson (R-SC, not Valerie Plame’s Joe) apologized, as he should.

    [...] Screaming ‘liar’ at the President. [...]

    He should NEVER have apologized. Odumbo IS a liar. We’re at war, people. Get. That. Through. Your. Heads. Liberty vs Tyranny. Forget the high road. It’s time for action.

    Those with longer memories recall another Joe Wilson and his scag-of-a-wife on the cover of Vanity Fair preening after their Plamegate BS & a phony Special Prosecutor found Scooter guilty [when all along it was Colonoscopy Powell's dude who tipped off Robert Novak, R.I.P.!

    This SC version of Joe Wilson tells the truth "to power," another trope which quickly disappeared after the Dembots lied their way into power. Bush didn't lie, the first Joe Wilson sure did. He dined out on that BS & is now probably in some DimwitDem think tank cranking out agitprop for dummies [Demmies].

    Protocol issues aside, [and the Dembot loonies in Congresscritterland yelled at GWB in 2005], Obama isn’t getting any traction on the fabled [largely mythical] ability of a good speech to sway the public in the marketplace of ideas. First of all, most Americans may have watched the great tennis match in the US Open or Monster Quest &/or Ghosthunters, all as important and realistic as the silliness that now pervades inside the Beltway.

    When San Fran Nan displays an inability to move facial muscles [due to multiple Botox injections, no doubt] and a grinning buffoon like Biden reminds viewers that Obambi might not be as bad as the next-in-line, why not allow yourself an alternative by watching a DVD, the Yankee/Ray game, and wait for Dennis Miller afterwards to give a better sum-up than Bri-boy Will-i-ams or Katie Couric or even Chuck-[I despise Sarah Palin]- Gibson? Or the absent-on-vacation The Daily Show.

    Obama is turning into Jimmy Carter faster than even I expected.

    Joe Wilson made himself America’s Congressman with that one. It was the best part of the speech.

    Aside from the hyperbole on both sides it might be instructive to remember that one was a political speech aimed at passing certain legislation while the other was a constitutionally required message to Congress. But I guess it is safe to assume that whenever Pres Obama speaks all the world goes silent and even that sparrow can be heard falling.

    Next week Rep. Wilson will attend a White House Press Conference and throw a shoe at Gibbs.
