Um. All you white people? You need to be out by Saturday.

Uh yeah, what he said. But the white wimmin, they be stayin and playin.

a post of pure undiluted awesomeness. thanks again, tbogg…

A jerk, indeed, but I wish just one Democrat would have had the balls to do that when Bush was up there spouting his actual lies instead of cheering him on to war.

Joe Wilson’s Wikipedia entry was updated: http://twitpic.com/h59di/full
Unfortunately, it didn’t last, though the current entry reflects McCain’s criticism.

During the September 9, 2009 speech to a joint session of Congress by President Obama, Wilson pointed and shouted, “You lie,” as the President said there was no coverage for illegal immigrants in his healthcare plan.[10][11][12] Wilson left the House chamber immediately after the end of the speech.[13] After the session, appearing on Larry King Live, Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) said, “Totally disrespectful. No place for it in that setting or any other and he should apologize immediately.”[14][15]

CA “Family Values” Republican Michael Duvall Brags Over Live Mic About Spanking His Young, Lobbyist Mistress

Then he resigns, using the standard resignation speech of GOP hypocrites.

It might be kind of fun to stand outside Joe Wilson’s home and sing the entire http://www.fuckthesouth.com website.

Yes, Joe Wilson’s a douche bag. No, it is not wrong to heckle the president (see whiskey fire) but the upshot of all this is that Obama’s excellent stirring speech is now completely overshadowed we will all spend the next dozen newscycles talking about the heckling, incivility in politics, who “won” and what it all means to Obama’s presidency, what will Rushbo say, etc etc and not discuss the issue of health care reform.
Nice work Mr. Wilson, you douche bag. Karl Rove must be very proud.

Win a meal with Sarah Palin

“Ebay is auctioning off [Alaskan hooch, mooseburgers, and CONversation] for five with Sarah Palin and her husband Todd.”

“…if your standards a little lower, bidding on dinner with Karl Rove starts at $7,500.”

I’d eat with Karl if the deal included force-feeding him freshly sharpened steak knives.

Couldn’t help but notice that, after spending the past few months feverishly fellating every insurance lobbyist on K Street, Rahm Emmanuel suddenly found time to cry foul. Not because his boss’s health care reform ambitions are dead in the water, but because someone broke protocol and — gasp! — heckled the preznit! The horror. Never mind the consequences for millions of Americans of his duplicity, what really worries Rahm is that someone violate the rules of the inside-the-beltway power games.

Oh, and Michael Duvall is just six kinds of awesome.

Geez, what’s up with McCain? It’s not as though Wilson called Obama a CU next Tuesday.

Assuming this is true, I like this little item:

Within hours of the speech, Wilson’s Democratic opponent Rob Miller, a Marine Corps veteran, had a fundraising windfall. Over $50,000 poured into Miller’s campaign coffers in a matter of hours

awesome. thanks for a desperately needed laugh to start the day….

…we assume that Wilson must be the double-wetsuit & dildo ensemble guy. Or maybe a furry; we’re not sure.

Are you guys aware that the largest annual Furry Convention in the world has been held in Pittsburgh, PA since June 2006? Yep. That’s because Pittsburghers are “polite and accepting” of the furries, so sez their leader. Ya see, here in the ‘burgh we’ll take anybody’s money.

Next summer I’m going to keep an eye out for Joe Wilson, and yank his tail or sumthin. A furry in a wetsuit with a dildo sticking outta his ass is going to be pretty easy to pick out.

Okay. So you can send a message to Joe Wilson at http://www.house.gov/formwilson/IMA/issue.htm

I sent this message:

Shame on you! I’m sure that your mother raised you better. Recent events have left the rest of the country pointing at South Carolina and laughing, and now your behavior makes us look like ill mannered boobs!

Could all of you South Carolina politicians try to act like adults instead of a bunch of college frat boys, for a change? Those of us who are not complete morons and who like living in the state (for reasons other than the high density of idiot politions)would seriously appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Oh my god, TBogg. This entry, it was a thing of beauty. Brilliant! I assume we yellow people can stay, right?

Republicans: The world is now our Town Hall!

You don’t want to make the President angry

You opposite lie!

Defeating the man who yelled “liar” at Obama: Goodbye Rep Joe Wilson

It’s at $55,169 now.

ditto for the brown people as well? Please? Pretty Please? we will even promise NOT to be illegal immigrants.

Um. All you white people? You need to be out by Saturday.

Yeah, we all know that SC was at the forefront of secession. Now it’s time for it to be at the forefront of recision: material mistatements were found, so out you go, post haste.

Oh, and don’t think you can easily move to some other state (aka, security insurance provider), now you’ve got a mental health pre-existing condition. So you’ll be on the “atlantic sink-or-swim” plan. Not to worry though, the Coast Guard will pick you up temporarily, after you’ve already gone under two times. Think of it as a “deductable”.

Palin/Wilson 2012 also.
Because, for Republicans, stupidity + obnoxiousness = frontrunner.

“dedunktable”?

Holy crap. It looks like Miller raised another $11,000 in 70 minutes.

Well, at least he didn’t throw his shoes at Obama. So it’s gotta be, you know, good for Republicans.

“Joe Wilson has been identified as the Republican who yelled out that Barack Obama was a liar.

He gets a drink on me!”

Ah, Erick, time for another blogger’s ethics conference?

Furry. Yes, definitely a Furry.

Rob Miller, the ex-Marine who will run against The Other Joe Wilson (as in Not Married to Valerie Plame) next year, so far has raised more than $100K. Nyah nyah nyah: http://www.politicsdaily.com/2…..ics-daily3

Caribou Barbie insists that there’s incivility on both sides:

In his speech the President directly responded to concerns I’ve raised about unelected bureaucrats being given power to make decisions affecting life or death health care matters. He called these concerns “bogus,” “irresponsible,” and “a lie” — so much for civility.

In Bible Spice Land, “civility” = “not getting called on her bullshit.”

I’d rather have a quail hunt with D. Cheney….season is coming up! Quail makes for tasty dinner.

Wilson also condemned Strom Thurmond’s illegitimate daughter for “smearing” ol’ Strom by telling everyone she was his illegitimate daughter.

Lest we forget, South Carolina also brought us this high point in the cultural history of our nation:

Hilarious. Thanks.

Best.Post.Evah.

It’s amusing to see Mooselini demand “civility” after her little campaign pep rallies last year.

Yeah, so much for getting called out on your lies, Sarah. You knew Obama was directing his comment on disinformation directly at you. We did, too.

And, given the choice between an unelected government bureaucrat processing my claim and an unelected bureaucrat who’s paid, in part, on rejecting/reducing claims to increase the corporate bottom line, I’ll pick the former unelected bureaucrat every time.

IB – thanks for the reminder:

We’re in the Sarah Palin Decade!

My own reaction was to snap out of the slumber I was falling into and wish that our elected officials acted more like Parliament (not the group, tho that would be way cool) and did shit like this more often. Then I realized that it just would have degenerated into some stupid and never quite reach the rarefied air of English conflagration.
And yes, the Dems should have done this with W often enough, but it’s hard to talk when your balls are in someone else’s pocket.
But enough said, Obama was way cool and handled this asshat in a way that would have caused W’s ass to slam shut.

John C. Calhoun – American Patriot – leader of the nullification movement of South Carolina – 1832 – whereby the assertion was posited that if any state abjured the decision of the central government – Congress of the United States – that state was free to ignore the decision of Congress. It took 30 years, but finally, the brave citizens of South Carolina determined to secede, fired on Fort Sumpter, and led the glorious war to preserve slavery. We wiped their racist asses. And we let these chumps back into the the Union? There is no polite way to say it: Fuck ‘em. They are always destined to fail. Overrun them, wipe them out, eat them for breakfast. We should have let them go. I’m a Vermonter. Man for man, no Union state gave more blood to preserve the Union than my tiny state. I weep to think that almost 150 years later all those brave men did was make it safe for Joe Wilson to degrade the public discourse and diminish the American community. We should have shot them all.

I think people are mostly talking about what a tool Joe Wilson is, and how toolish the Republicans in general are acting. It’s not as good as talking about the relative merits of Obama’s proposal, but I don’t think the Usual Gang of Idiots are up to that, anyhow. If more Real ‘Murkins think Republicans are tools as a result of the speech, that’s a win.

At the time South Carolina seceded–and really, come to think of it, shouldn’t we just have let it go?–one of its few Unionists said, “Alas, poor South Carolina. Too small to be a nation. Too large to be a lunatic asylum.” Some things do not change.

Rob Miller’s bag o’ campaign swag now totals more than …$400K!

I cringe at the hagiography accorded Abraham Lincoln. His insistence on dragging the South back into the Union left us with 618,000 dead, an inexhaustible supply of soreheads, fundies, and bigots as well as a perpetual drain on our economy. Left to their own devices, nearly half of the South would have electricity by now and they’d be getting foreign aid from Armenia.

Maybe Sanford could lead all the expatriates to South America, where they can join the descendants of the Confederates who couldn’t handle the truth.

Does any politician in South Carolina actually do anything other than fornicate? From Strom’s illegitimate daughter (whom Wilson called a liar) to the C Street Jesus Adulterers does anyone from there actually think with their brain rather than their penis?

Wasn’t there talk that Mooselini would move to South Carolina? If so, that would be a good thing, because Mark Sanford already used up my quota of giving a fuck about politicians from that state for the next 20 years.

General Sherman should go back to South Carolina and get it right this time.

Nah, this works for us — Obama’s ratings and those of health care reform went up dramatically as a result. Plus, country-club member Addison ‘Joe’ Wilson Sr. (yes, he’s as much a real “Joe” as Non-Joe the Non-Plumber) has been shown to be lying out his ass.

The source of Wilson’s anger is this: When an undocumented hobo gets his foot cleaved off by a passing train in San Antonio, TX, he is currently guaranteed the right to emergency care sufficient to stop the bleeding and sew up the stump. Obama’s plan will not discontinue this socialist policy. Wilson and his ilk want EMTs and hospital ERs to turn people away if they don’t produce proof of citizenship on the spot. If the undocumented* can’t crawl back to the Mexican border on their remaining limbs for emergency care, then fuck ‘em. They should have thought about that before they broke the law.

*a definition which also applies to citizens who negligently leave their drivers licenses in their burning homes or are too wimpy to wrest them back from muggers.

Deweydecimal, much respect to you and your state of Vermont. A quicker way to increase both the average income and IQ of the United States of America than ejecting the Palmetto State from the Union can scarcely be imagined.

Another reason I call it “Suckalina.”
