To: a fool in paradise

Obama’s speech will always and forever be known as the “You Lie” speech. Whatever impact he hoped to make was destroyed by Wilson, and Peolosi knows it.

Quite true. And she knows further airing of the incident will only burn it into the public's memory.

"Obama’s speech will always and forever be known as the “You Lie” speech."

True.

Reminds me of when the fan called Bob Dylan "Judas" for playing an electric guitar.

Also this:

As a result of the popularity of the letter, even in the English-speaking world, J'accuse! has become a common generic expression of outrage and accusation against a powerful person.

The emperor wears no clothes.

I felt this instinctively when he said it. I hope you’re right.

Why didn’t he “pull a Bush” and claim that Islam is a ROP? That would have been an occasion for everyone to rise to their feet and wildly applaud him in acclamation.

I always get emotional and drink more than I should when I hear that statement.

This is AWESOME — the unintended consequences of Democrats including Emmanuel attacking Wilson. He apologized for disrupting the speech but NOT for what he said — he stood by that.

Pelosi knows they don’t dare censure Wilson or it will open up a can of worms they don’t want in public aka Obamacare!

BRILLIANT POINT!

Wilson SINGLE HANDEDLY made this Obama’s “You Lie” speech.

Everyone listening that had a single brain cell (well, maybe you have to have three) knew he was lying. Wilson labeled the speech forevermore, though.
