Surprise. He Lied.

Rep. Joe Wilson 'YOU LIE!'YOU LIE




“You lie!” Republican Rep. Joe Wilson famously shouted at President Obama during a 2009 televised presidential address to a joint session of Congress.


The outburst, prompted by Obama pledging his health care reform bill would not benefit illegal immigrants, provoked outrage from liberals, not to mention a steely death-glare from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. [Full]
Rep. Joe Wilson 'YOU LIE!'

It's still hard to believe anyone doubted the truth of Wilson's charge. If Obama's a Democrat, Obama's a liar. |  If you're used to watching C-Span's coverage of Parliament (House of Commons), you may even have been inured to impoliticness of it all.  The look on Pelosi's face was just precious; it's a wonder she finished her stint as Speaker without being caned. Comeuppance is a wonderful thing.

Joe Wilson -- for those times when Preston Brooks simply isn't available.

Cripes Rodger,
We're finally in a place with infinite bandwidth and are able to watch your movie reel.
*heavy heart*
What occurred to me when seeing the picket signs was the misnomer of illegal -immigrants-. Illegal entrants, trespassers, intruders, or the actual truth, Illegal Invaders.

Our past two and half months were spent in Yavapai Nation territory (AZ) and now in Mormon Nation (Bryce Canyon) and both feel like foreign countries. When considering our border with Mexico, we are a foreign country.

STG, our current federal government is more willing to let invaders "drive the car" than to allow citizens ride in the back seat. Wait! An invader IS driving two buses on tax dollars right now. It's so phuking crooked that it makes a switch back trail seem perfectly straight.

I was there, watching the 'live' feed from the House of Commons, and said to myself, "How in Gods' green Earth is that rat-bastid-punk-ass-bish going to beat John Major if ANYONE is watching this?"

Apparently, no one was watching...

You're a good guy Rodg, and you already season your blog with mental palate refreshers on a regular basis. Carry on! :)
