Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Recommended punshiment for Wilson -- a 10-page essay explaining why "we're ashamed the president is from Texas" and "Stop the War" T-shirts at presidential appearances were inappropriate and even treasonous for the last eight years, but out-and-out calling the President a liar on the floor of Congress and carrying assault rifles outside presidential appearances are now appropriate. With Cindy Sheehan and Natalie Maines to decide whether his work is adequate.
oh THIS I love.
After the speech, Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff who sat a few rows in front of Mr. Wilson, said he immediately approached senior Republican lawmakers to encourage them to identify the heckler and urge him to issue an apology quickly.
Heh. SO not surprised.
Yglesias:
Personally, I sort of liked Rep Joe Wilson’s idea of introducing British-style heckling to the halls of congress; totally disrespectful and out of step with American tradition, true, but their tradition is better. Unfortunately, Wilson was also lying about the point at issue and will thereby set back the cause of heckling by decades.
Ohhhh... to have been a fly on the wall of that "encouragement."
Oh, I so need to talk to my neighbor across the street who works with Rahm...
Yes, you do and pass on our fangrrl appreciation. I want a photoshop of Rahm with BAD ASS tattooed across his fingers.
Heh. SO not surprised.
The line about Rahm sitting a few rows in front of Wilson immediately brought to mind an image of him immediately scrambling over the seats to clothesline the SOB.
Brings a slight tear to the eye, it does.
You know, if someone wants the overnights for a meeting that starts at 8:30, it'd be nice to know about before 9:45 during that same meeting...
God I hate 8:30 am meetings.
Um... just in case anyone wants to boggle (is that a word) over the WORST SPORTS COLUMN OF ALL TIME:
Actually, this is an article about the worst sports column. The actual column is about Jaycee Dugard, and all the sports she missed while being raped in captivity....

Goodness knows that was my first thought...

Two takeaways from the article:
You can make a sports connection to just about anything.
Sometimes it's best not to make the sports connection, even if you can.
