Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And #badcongressman is already a trending topic on Twitter.

I expect Wilson will be on Fox wall to wall.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I expect Palin/Wilson unless we catch him with a live boy or a dead girl.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The Boy had a board meeting tonight and missed the speech, and he just called while driving home. The following conversation ensued:

Me: "A Congressman actually HECKLED the president!"
The Boy: "...did Rahm Emanuel punch him in the face?"

Me: "Regarding the 'death panels,' Obama surprised everyone by killing and eating an elderly person on camera."
The Boy: "I would have thought John McCain was too stringy to eat raw."

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Me: "Regarding the 'death panels,' Obama surprised everyone by killing and eating an elderly person on camera."

The Boy: "I would have thought John McCain was too stringy to eat raw."

Nah. McCain's been marinating in bitterness since the sixties.

He's just...tart.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Good speech. Not happy about the not-funding-abortions thing, but I'm holding on to hope that that will be eroded away once the thing is finally done. Otherwise? What a joy to have an erudite president whom I can listen to without cringing.

And Wilson actually called him a liar. Un-fucking-believable.

The Boy: "...did Rahm Emanuel punch him in the face?"

You know, it occurs to me that there has been a disappointing lack of Rahm Emanuel face punching since all this started. I think Rahm should be giving republicans the pimp hand every day before breakfast.

Trust my rage

I almost feel that Wilson's comment was so out of line that it hurts his side. I saw via Twitter that McCain called on him to apologize.

Eta: and yes, we need more Rahm Emmanuel.
