House To Spank Joe Wilson



('DiggThis’)

Children with no manners need punishment.

House Democrats will move ahead with plans to pass a resolution admonishing Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) for heckling President Obama unless he apologizes from the well of the House, in keeping with the information I picked up yesterday.

‘There was a violation of the rules of the House,’ said Brendan Daly, spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who initially bridled at the idea when asked about it on Thursday. ‘It needs to be resolved by an apology or a resolution.’

An even better move is to get guys like Wilson out of our House. This gentleman, Rob Miller, is in that business.

    It means so much to be punished by the party that tolerates a Speaker calling Americans Nazis, that ignores the ethical, financial and tax lapses of Charlie (Taxes Are For Other People) Rangel, that ignores the insane ravings of Pete Stark (“the president sends troops to Iraq to get their heads blown of for his amudement”), that booed the President from the floor of the House during the 2005 State of the Union.

    It used to be when Joe Wilson called the President a liar, moonbats like you would stand up and cheer.

    Guess I need to call a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHMBULANCE to take me away because I’m a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST!

    Joe’s too busy hanging with his 9/12 project homeboys to say he’s sorry

  3. william says:

    But not a peep about ‘ol Charlie Rangel.

    So much for draining the swamp eh Nancy.

  4. Jay says:

    This is such nonsense.

  5. slseveral says:

    Really unfortunate timing.

    They should spank Wilson *after* Health Care Reform has passed.

    More distraction and slowing of momentum is nothing but a gift to Joe Wilson. He’ll get more donations and the media will be reanimated anew in their Old Yeller feeding frenzy instead of focusing on Health Care Reform.

  6. Hudson says:

    Can this be an actual spanking? Or would that give Wilson too much pleasure?

  7. Impaler says:

    Maybe they could get the resigned assemblyman from Orange county California to administer the spanking, oh wait he only spanks lobbyists.

  8. freD says:

    Gotta draw the line somewhere. And wingnuts, that line should apply to everybody the same.

  9. joaquin says:

    The guy says 2 words and you get all weee weeed. Poor baby.
    I don’t think he was the only one saying those words during that little joke of an Obama pep-rally. I think he was projecting what millions of American were saying to their TV sets.
    BTW: I seriously doubt that LibDems will do anything to him. Then again, they have shown a nack for ’stepping in it’

    Over where?

    I’m not clear where you stand, joker. Are you arguing that the House shouldn’t have rules or just shouldn’t enforce them when conservative Republicans break them?

  12. william says:

    “Over where?”

    Full of ‘em today aren’t ya.

  13. joaquin says:

    William. 90% of the time Quaker has nothing, but silly drivel. He is amusing though.

  14. Quaker in a Basement says:

    90% of the time Quaker has nothing,

    Show me how it’s done, joker. There’s a big, fat, slow one right over the plate for you just three posts up.

  15. NoBull1 says:

    Pelosi could use some cojones. Oops, sorry. Well, the Cowardly Lion got some heart-in Oz. Maybe he should be Speaker.

  16. Dennis says:

    Guess there goes your ‘two days, tops’ speculation, Quibbie. Wilson’s apology and Obama’s acceptance wasn’t good enough for the rabble.

  17. Repack Rider says:

    Wilson’s apology and Obama’s acceptance wasn’t good enough for the rabble.

    Elections have consequences.

  18. Dennis says:

    Repack,

    Yes, they do, but that doesn’t seem to have lessened your whining about Clinton’s impeachment, even ten years later.

    Funny that.

  19. Burn says:

    It’s about respecting the rules of the House, which he is a member and he broke those rules. Simple as that. I thought wingnuts are all about respecting the rule of law and personal responsibilities, right?

  20. Quaker in a Basement says:

    Guess there goes your ‘two days, tops’ speculation, Quibbie.

    I made that guess about two hours ago, Dennis. I might be wrong if Wilson continues to defy House rules.

  21. Dennis says:

    I’m thinking a good place to check for what the House does next is Sarah Palin’s Facebook page, Quibbie.

    Probably a better leading indicator than Nancy’s spokesperson.

  22. Quaker in a Basement says:

    I’m thinking a good place to check for what the House does next is Sarah Palin’s Facebook page,

    Well, let us know if she posts anything good over there.

  23. Impaler says:

    Yea, been a long summer perhaps a real bikini pic, this time. Sarah is hot.

  24. Repack Rider says:

    that doesn’t seem to have lessened your whining about Clinton’s impeachment, even ten years later.

    Two words for you: Not. Guilty.

    The GOP congress spent $65 million on investigating Whitewater, and the result? Let me quote from the report: “No crime could be demonstrated to have taken place.”

    Although the Lewinsky event was tawdry, there were no crimes involved with that either. Unlike serial adulterer and Clinton stalker Newt Gingrich, Clinton hadn’t run on “family values.” All that money was spent on a FISHING EXPEDITION, to see if the GOP could FIND something to accuse Clinton of, and when they couldn’t, they trumped up a case about an untruth that was not a crime either, and that didn’t begin to pass the smell test, resulting in a “Not Guilty” verdict.

    So yeah, the GOP took advantage of its majority to waste money and look like fools by using the Congress in an attempt to de-legitimize the most popular president of a generation, even though they had nothing to work with. Clinton left office with popularity ratings about three times what Bush left with and would easily have won a thrid timrm if the rules permitted.

    OTOH, there is no doubt about what Rep. Wilson said, since millions have heard it and he has owned up to it.

  25. Repack Rider says:

    Sarah is hot.

    Chacon a son gout.

    Stupidity is a turnoff for me.

  26. Quaker in a Basement says:

    Sarah is hot.

    Dude. She’s a grandmother.

  27. Burn says:

    Wingnuts thought ann coulter was hot too. Double ewwww.

    Palin’s little slut of a daughter is one piece of ass, that much is true. Nothing like being a teen MILF.

  28. daniel rotter says:

    “…tolerates a Speaker calling Americans Nazis…”

    Pelosi didn’t do this on the floor of the House of Representatives at all, much less do it in the form of heckling on the floor during a speech…and even if she did, since when is the right against calling Americans “Nazis?” I’ve heard and seen plenty of conservatives (Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, the Gateway Pundit blogger, whatever his/her name is) using that smear against people they disagree with (i.e. people on the left), and all of the latter individuals were Americans. Rush Limbaugh even used his infamous “feminazi” slander against a JEWISH American (Gloria Allred).

    “…that ignores the insane ravings of Pete Stark…”

    Nice try, but Stark DID apologize from the well of the House for the “president sends troops” statement. Do your research.

    “that booed the President from the floor of the House during the 2005 State of the Union.”

    Booing, while not appropriate, is not the same as shouting out “you lie!” Republicans booed during Clinton’s 1998 State of the Union speech, and Democrats didn’t complain. All heckling is wrong, but not all heckling is equivalent.

    “…that ignores the ethical, financial and tax lapses of Charlie Rangel…”

    Okay, I’ll give you this one.

    “It used to be when Joe Wilson called the President a liar, moonbats like you would stand up and cheer.”

    THAT Joe Wilson didn’t do that on the floor of the House of Representatives in the form of heckling during a speech.

  29. DismasUSA says:

    A sample apology for Wilson to give from the well of the house:

    I’m sorry I called the President a liar, during his speech, which was a veritable cornucopia of equivocation.

    Or something to that effect.

  30. Sean Thornton says:

    Well, Daniel…

    It’s nice to know that liberals have standards.

    Two of them, to be precise.

    Until you can live by your own standards, as ol’ Saul preaches, shut up.

    It’s fun to watch though… you and Oliver and Bathtub Boy and Rachel Mandow and all your cohorts whipping out your toolkits to manufacture such outrage.

    Pity the public is catching on to it.

  31. daniel rotter says:

    Thank you for all your refutations and contestations against anything I specifically wrote in my reply to your initial posting, Sean (end of sarcasm). I especially love the irony of you accusing LIBERALS of having double standards in response to my post, considering what I wrote there about conservatives and their schizophrenic views on whether calling Americans “Nazis” is a bad thing or not. And who is “Saul?” Saul of Tarsus? Saul Bellow? the actor Saul Rubinek? Saul Alinsky? If it’s the latter, then you mean conservatives like yourself are now quoting this dude in a POSITIVE context (lol)?

  32. Athornton says:

    Respect is given, I repeat, given to the man, not to the office he holds. Would you have respect for the office of Secretary of the Treasury, which is just a title, or not have respect for Timothy Geithner because he “forgot” to pay his taxes like the rest of Obama’s cabinet?
