A New Low

Is there a reason that the Democrats are not demanding that Joe Wilson be censured? This man sat in the Congressional Chambers and called the President of the United States a liar. He gave a scripted defense of his verbal assault to the White House, and called it an apology. Now that is the lie, and adding insult to injury Joe Wilson did not apologize to the President, he called Rahm Emanuel!!!

Under House rules, members are prohibited from making derogatory remarks about other members. The consequence is not being allowed to speak for a specific time period. There is no punishment named for when a president is speaking because any imbecile knows not to do it. Members understand that they must respect the President.

This is a slippery slope that must be halted immediately. We have gotten to the point where a member of Congress, during a televised joint session, verbally assaults the highest office in the country. This is politics. Are the Democrats going to demand that Wilson be reprimanded or will they simply turn the other check? If McCain or Palin were standing where President Obama stood last night and Senator Obama yelled, "You Lie" to either of them he would be worse than censured.
