Oh, baby, I wrote her (Speaker Pelosi) a letter…

…I don't care how many times I have to say
Joe Wilson's conduct was a despicable display
Only he alone
Acted as if stoned
So, baby, I wrote Madam Speaker a letter. [With apologies to the Boxtops. Bill]

Dear Madam Speaker,

Thank you for your service to our country, but I believe one more service must be done, and that is the sanctioning and/or referral to the Ethics Committee of Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina for his positively, shamelessly disgusting, and despicable conduct of calling President Obama a liar and interrupting the President rudely and in a totally uncalled for manner publicly.

The simple and, I believe totally insincere, private phone call to apologize to the President is not sufficient to negate the shame, embarrassment, and outright disrespect of his conduct.

To allow such conduct to go unpunished by at least official admonition on the floor of congress shows disrespect not only to the President, but brings shame and disrepute upon congress itself as a whole.

This is America, not South Korea, but if this man is not severely sanctioned it will not be too long before we see such conduct become the norm here in America.

Wilson's conduct brings shame and disrepute to every member of congress and is conduct which cannot and must not be tolerated.

Respectfully yours,

Bill Arnett

And what prompted wilson's asinine, rude, inappropriate, and disgusting, outburst of bile and unadulterated bullsh*t? He took this opportunity to prove what a jackass he is by yelling out, "You lie!" when the President simply stated that no illegal aliens would be eligible to join into whatever final health care bill is passed.

Clearly joe wilson no longer deserves or warrants the respectful title of, "The Honorable Representative of South Carolina…" and I sincerely hope his constituents in South Carolina realize what a rude, impertinent, and revoltingly specious life form that is joe wilson, and the impression he imputes to his fellow South Carolinians.

Even when the Great Ultimate Liar bush regime was in power no one on the democratic side of the aisle exhibited such disrespect on the hallowed floor of congress while in a special joint session.

As to the speech President Obama gave I say wow, he hit that one out of the ballpark. I believe the morning and late night polling regarding the speech show that, once again, Americans support Obama, despite the now routine resistance of the republicans and their ever smaller block of supporters (wack jobs, religious freaks, mouth-breathing, rightwing idiots) whom the GOP has conned to get them to vote against their own interests and those of this country.

The citizens of this country desperately need help obtaining and paying for health care insurance. The cost of health insurance has gone up 300% while wages and employment have been dropping like a stone on joe wilson's tiny little head.
