You Lie

That phrase brings back some vivid memories.

It reminds me of sitting in homeroom as a third grader, watching a little boy in our class yell to a little girl, "I see London!  I see France..."  She of course, wanting to protect her reputation, yelled back, "YOU LIE!"

Third grade antics.  That's what we saw on the floor before a joint session of congress last night.  Vicious antics.

Joe Wilson claims that all of those emotions just welled up inside of him, and he just couldn't help but burst out. 

He lies.

This was nothing short of a publicity stunt, a Washington-style wardrobe malfunction.  Joe Wilson was hoping that he'd get a lynch mob going.  Joe thought he'd be the hero to rally the troops together.  

So now you've gotta ask yourself...who would be moronic enough to think that might work?  And what kind of "man" would display that level of disrespect to a sitting president?  Did he yell that at G.W. when he talked about all of the weapons of mass destruction there were in Iraq?

And not only that, but did Joe bother to look up the facts, the inconvenient fact that health care for illegal aliens is expressly prohibited in the health care bill?  Or was he just hoping to whip up his constituents who would then blindly follow?

Joe, you were little known before this, and you can kiss your political career goodbye.  Please add my name to the already incomprehensibly long list of Democrats and Republicans who look forward to hearing of your resignation.
