Disclaimer: I'm not condoning Joe Wilson's fame making moment. I'm a believer in having decorum in such situations. I don't disagree with his assessment, it just wasn't the time or the place.
A better alternative would have been for Republicans to stand up silently and walk out. That would have been awesome. But alas.
I did not watch the speech last night. I have over 100 channels, at least 80 of which didn't feature the Obama Show (was this one a repeat?). I went for one of the other 80. I would've watched them auction Richard Simmons collectible plates on HSN before I watched that crap. But I digress.
Two observations after last night:
1. I'm continually amazed by the capacity for outrage and short memories everyone else seems to have. I have neither. I'm almost envious.
2. My favorite moment of the outburst were the expressions by Pelosi and ChiaBiden. Heck, with that much plastic, who knew Pelosi could show expressions? But the looks on their faces reminded me of a scene from Animal House.
"He can't say that about a president! Only we can say that about a president!"

ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I was thinking this morning. I know I wouldn't have been able to sit through that.
The more I think about it, the more I like what he did...at least up until the apology part.
