Joe Wilson, Man of the Hour?
11th September 2009
Beyond that, the Democrats’ protestations about Wilson’s lack of civility ring hollow, to say the least. After all, Obama himself called Sarah Palin a liar in the very speech that so enraged Wilson. And do the Democrats really believe that voters have forgotten how they treated President Bush for the last six years of his administration? A voter would have had to spend those years in Albania not to know that “You lie!” was nicer than most of the things the Democrats had to say, both on and off the floors of Congress.
I personally think Wilson ought to resign. We don’t need somebody with impulse control that poor in Congress. Of course, Democrats do that sort of thing all the time, but Republicans at least ought to act like adults.
