Introducing Joe Wilson; From ridiculous nutbag to "political reformer" in 82 hours
Friday, September 11, 2009
So I'm flipping through the channels this morning and come across a discussion on Morning Joe... They are discussing how Joe Wilson's completely inappropriate outburst during the President's address to a joint session of congress might have actually been a 'good' thing in that it injected a bit of friction into the 'debate' a la the British Parliament... They went on to reminisce fondly about how then Prime Minister Margret Thatcher would 'clutch her purse and sling right back' at her detractors.
The problem with that argument is three-fold... (1) This Ain't the fuckin' British Parliament! (2) The President of the United States is the leader of the free world and is NOT the equivalent of the British Prime Minister (3) There are Foreign Policy consequences when you publicly undermine the President's credibility by screaming that he's a Liar during a major policy address
Once again the Refucklicans prove their unlimited capacity for rationalizing the most obnoxious and crazy-ass behavior in their dogged pursuit of the status quo...
