Specter wants Wilson censured

Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Penn.), who's looked at POTUS from both sides now, was just on the Bill Press radio show suggesting the South Carolina firebrand Joe Wilson be censured for his heckle heard round the world.

Said the Republican-turned-Dem:

"He apologized immediately afterward but I don't think that’s adequate... If an apology is the consequence of an outburst I think we can expect more – that’s not a sufficient penalty that’s not a sufficient price to pay.. I'm not saying the guy should be kicked out of the House… But there ought to be some rebuke, reprimand, censure -- something that will discourage that kind of conduct in the future. If you do that to the President, it's open season."

Earlier on his show, Press spoke with House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC), who said Wilson should "man up" and apologize directly to Obama -- or that Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) should mea culpa the White House on his behalf.

It is not the job of the Senate especially Specter to tell the House what to do or not do.

[a fool in paradise]

Boo hoo. Cry in your cheerios.

[GoCards]

So, back to the Health care issue. Did Obama achieve his goals last night? No, we are talking about a congressman that openly called him out, tee hee.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Specter wants Wilson censured. Hoosier-Daddy wants Specter retired.

[cranked]

Call ALL the Joe Wilson ‘Liar’ whiners a whambulance, kkthx.

[BAW]

Well, if the Congress is going to censure people . . how about . . .Charlie Rangel?

[eleni121]

Words fail. This is the creep that Jorge Bush supported over the real conservative in the PA primary.

This the creep that defended the UNICORN murderer—Ira Einhorn.

Why does this creep dare to show his face?

[cameraeye]

Hey Arlen, where were you when they were bashing President Bush? Hmmmmmm? So STFU!

[dead]

Specter wants Wilson censured

Under Scottish Law.

[mortal19440]

Hey Arlen, where were you when your new found Dem asshats booed Bush? I’m from PA Arlen and I can tell you to enjoy the rest of this term because you won’t have another one.

[Frantzie]

Specter can go to h*ll.

[mad_as_he$$]

As I said last night Wilson was a fool for apologizing. Why? Becasue it will NEVER be good enough. I predict he will fall into the trap of apologizing several more times and make a complete useless a$$ out of himself before it is over. Reps just do not get that any apparent weakness is exploited to the max degree by the left. He will now also get hammered by McCain and other apologetic RINOs who got us in this mess in the first place.

[bmwcyle]

I want Specter thrown in a pit.

[Cicero]

Spectre must see this as a way to gain fame and popularity among Dem voters in Penn. Because he’s not a very good bet for re-election.

[mlizzy]

How 'bout if Wilson invites Obama over for a beer?

[Lou Budvis]

This is why it was pointless to apologize. They will never be satisfied. If Wilson himself said he that he should be censored, they would demand his resignation. If he said he was going to resign, they would demand his arrest, If....

[smartymarty]

If our Founding Fathers succombed to censure Spectre wouldn’t have a job today. scumbag

[petitfour]

Oh please, please, please let Nancy and her minions censure Rep. Wilson. Talk about igniting the masses! At least there was someone willing to speak out FOR THE PEOPLE.

[y6162]

Joe Wilson should get a medal of freedom.

He is the only one who told the truth last night.

[Stayfree]

Arlen Sphincter should be punished for pretending to be republican all these years.

[FES0844]

He should investigate ACORN!

[o_zarkman44]

Spector speaks like a true blue turncoat.

Effectively it appears that most Republicans in the House have had their voices censured already.

Cheers to the 1st Amendment and calling a liar a liar.

[gunnyg]

He has already punished both himself and us—in his apology!

Joe Wilson brief hero/wimp in reality!
What can one expect from the de—generations of the hippies, dopers, and baby boomers, etc.

The heroes—the Pattons, MacArthurs, Audie Murphys, Chesty Pullers, John Waynes, etc. are gone—what you see is what you get!

Are Ron Paul and Paul Broun the only real men left in the HR???

“Captain Nathan Brittles: Never apologize. It’s a sign of weakness. “

[sand lake bar]

I want Specter taken out behind some shed and whupped.

[CPT Clay]

Pat Toomey wants Bennedict Arlen.

[spectre]

This is rich.

Specter should be kicked out of the Senate for deceiving the good people of Pennsylvania who elected him to represent them as a REPUBLICAN!

sw

[comebacknewt]

Not proven!!

[CPT Clay]

oops, Pat wants Arlen censured.

[Danae]

I am supporting Wilson! He said EXACTLY what 1) everyone KNOWS, and 2) what we ALL want to slap Bambi with! The TRUTH!

GO WILSON!

[Natural Law]

So lying to the congress and the American people is OK, but calling him on it in a boorish manner is subject of censure? No wonder the government is following Specter's career path down the shitter.

[LRS]

Arlen Specter, another proud resident of Joe Biden’s Psychoneurotic Institute for the Very, Very Nervous...

[Steamburg]

Spector is an irrelevant piece of flotsam not greatly differing from McCain.

[Oldpuppymax]

Specter? It’s a good thing that liberals are so utterly shameless and such thorough hypocrites. Here’s a guy who betrayed his party time and again, finally LEAVING it for political ends and he wants to impose HIS view of right and wrong on someone!! Astounding, but NOT surprising.

[Kakaze]

Specter, you censure him under Scottish law

Then you go the hell away.

This turd has been around since JFK! He wrote the rules on disclosure there, he voted against impeachment for Clinton and now, he returns to the democratic socialist party. ..........get him out now.

[Lazamataz]

Specter started as a slime ball. He grew up as a slimeball, and in high school, was a rapt student of being a slimeball. When he went to college, he joined the slimeball team as Head Slimeball. He excelled in this sport. He graduated with Slimeball honors, went to war in WWI as a 13-D Slimeball Operator, and won three medals of Slime. Then he married into Slime, ran for Senate under the Slimeball party, and remained a Slimeball for the entirity of his career.

[verga]

How about this apology for size.
“I am sorry you are a liar”
or
“I am sorry you can’t tgell the truth”
or
“I am really sorry that you were ever elcted in the first place you post turtle!”

[True Grit]

I guess the moon-bat is quoiting Scottish Law.

[jimfree]

I want Specter arrested. I sent Leader Boehner an email to express support for Wilson. Contact Leader Boehner

[texas_mrs]

Specter is a two-faced bustard.

[mr_hammer]

Tell “Sphincter” to clean up his own backyard first!

[MrLuigi]

Wow.

Forget all the corruption and awful legislation and bailing out of billionaire bankers...

HE CALL HIM A NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mojitojoe]

Oh shut up Specter, deranged old man.

[ChicagoConservative27]

Him and Trent Lott.

[skeeter]

The democrats think they have an issue, but all they’ll end up doing is reminding everyone over & over that the president’s a liar.

[McGruff]

Before the war, week after week after week after week, we were told lie after lie after lie after lie. - Senator Ted Kennedy Senate Floor Remarks October 16, 2003

Did you ever call for Sen. Kennedy's censure you old fool?

[unixfox]

Hey Arlen, anybody tell you yet that you won't have a job next year?

Go pound sand!

[leenie312]

Joe Wilson...just saying what the country is thinking...and our reps are afraid to say.

[Brookhaven]

Under Scottish law Wilson was within his rights.

Spector, of all people, should know that.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Before Wilson is punished for telling the truth, Obama should be punished for the lies he was/is telling that aroused Wilson's righteous indignation.
