WASHINGTON — The House has voted to admonish Rep. Joe Wilson over his "You lie" outburst to President Barack Obama during the president's health care speech to Congress last week.....
Wilson himself would not back down on his position that he owed the House no apology. Surrounded by Republican supporters, Wilson said Obama had "graciously accepted my apology and the issue is over."

what a racist move by the house....if joe were black they would have done nothing
What does “admonished” mean?
Did any R’s vote with the Rats?
That’s okay, I’m still going to send him money. The money I sort of promised to the RNC.
How’s the investigations of Dem corruption going?....anyone??...anyone???....Bueller?
Is that a money clip in his right hand? Does he have to pay a fine?
Were there any dems who voted against the repuke?
THAT will teach him!....as he strolls to the bank to deposit the increased campaign contributions as a result of this stupid dem action, LOL!
Just what does being admonished mean?
I’m guessing “hand slapped” is synonymous.
IS ALREADY LEDING TO THIS (As well it should):
Way to go Joe Wilson!
if 0 where Bush they would have done nothing to Joe.
Hell’s getting a little chilly - Congress just censured a Member for speaking the proven truth, in fulfillment of the role of Congress to check the power of the Executive branch, specifically in order to protect the people that Member was elected to represent.
This is a bad, bad thing.
[The resolution said Wilson’s conduct was a “breach of decorum and degraded the proceedings of the joint session, to the discredit of the House.”]
And what about the Rats when they heckled Bush in his 2005 SOTU?
Hypocrites!
I think they make him stand in the well of the House while they all say mean things about him.
-PJ
Kennedy worked with the KGB against Reagan - and they didn’t “admonish” him. Guess being a traitor isn’t as big a deal as “speaking out of turn” ...
That looks like a cellphone to me.
DemonRats...can’t live with em...
Now is the time for all ‘good’ Pubbies in the House to introduce condemnation resolutions vs. Rangel and IceHouse Jefferson.
I called my Rep today. ConGrossWoose Mark Kirk (Doofuss-IL). I got a stupid intern. I asked aformentioned stoopid intern what Kirk’s response was to the 9/12 Tea Party. Intern replied...he has not issued a statement. I asked WILL HE be issuing a statement?? Don’t know...the same type of conversation continued when I asked Kirk’s positions on Rangel and ACORN...no clue.
I told the intern that if KIRK wanted to be a Senatwhore, he should start getting some positions on these issues and make them well know or else he was going to be toast.
Said intern took my name and info so Kirk (Doofus-IL) could respond to my inquiries. I let intern know that Kirk had stopped responding to me long ago because he didn’t like my questions...
So, FUBO and the Donkey you rode in on!
So a dressing down by the likes of Pelosi? Big deal. Way to go, Joe.
President Bush would have accepted the apology and moved on. To bad Obama is not a big enough man to do the same.
This is hilarious..! A guy yells, “You lie” —he gets admonished by congress.
But shoot your mouth off about murder/pimping/prostitution/taxFraud/VisaFraud and NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING..!
Hhahhahaha...I’m waiting for the talking bunny and the mad hatter...!
I think that is censured.
You go Joe. Make the radical, NeoCom scumbags act like fools. It’s what they do best.
Excellant take on it. Getting scary with the dems in control.
And Maureen Dowd gets to tell people what she really "heard" them say. ( She gets to make it up out of the cesspool that's her mind)
7 Republican votes for the resolution: Cao Emerson Flake Inglis (from South Carolina) Jones Petri Rohrabacher
Yeah, it is a badge to wear with honor!
Keep drumming on poor Joe, stupid Dems.
I think vote was a strict party line (probably a couple of dems vote NO, too).
[Inglis (from South Carolina)]
What a worthless moron.
An admonition by this House of Criminals should be worn as a badge of honor - consider those who have not been admonished: Pelosi, Rangle, Stark, Barbara Lee, Murtha, etc, etc, etc.
Oh the irony —if he gets an official letter of censure then that will mean that FOR SAYING SOMETHING Joe will get the same punishment as Barney Frank for...
RUNNING A HOMO BROTHEL OUT OF HIS HOUSE.
I’m serious.
5 voted present Engel Foster Frank (MA) Shea-Porter Skelton -------- 10 not voting Ackerman Barrett (SC) Conaway Hoekstra Lynch McHugh Sestak Tanner Velázquez Waters
Just what does being admonished mean?...Constitutionally....Nada.
The only explanation is that they felt the punishment wasn't severe enough.
Could that list be incorrect about Rohrabacher? That is a big surprise to me and doesn’t fit with what I know of him....
Means yer not gonna make Captain.........errr nuthin for a polidiot. Wilson will profit from this big time !
I am sending him a “C” note for his election campaign !
Another winner, Jeff.
Flake voted “yea”...I hadn’t heretofore seen him as flaky, but that just changed my mind.
What a great Badge of Courage. You Rock, Joe!!
SCREW the marxist pantywaistes!!
I’d like to send him a few bucks for his next campaign but would like to give via Paypal - don’t want my phone number on any more “gimme” lists than it already is. Any idea how to do that? His campaign website wants full credit card info.
Click the link and read for yourself. If it’s in error then the House Clerk has it in error.
Damn....he's our Rep. and a fine one too.....until today.
Actually the democrats led by an uppity Black caucus demeaned the body by mountaizing a molehill
The racists blacks in the house are an American disgrace.
Joe Wilson, admonished by the House (of Ill Repute).
Next time, instead of calling Mark Kirk, try calling a Republican. : )
I assume that, being one of Kirk’s constituents, you know better than to support that RINO for the Senate. Fortunately, there’s a solid conservative reformer running for the GOP nomination, and if he can beat Kirk in the GOP primary (i) he will have an excellent chance of winning the general election and (ii) his election to the Senate will make liberals’ heads spin:
ERIC WALLACE FOR SENATOR

It means the dems are a bunch of chicken-shinola clowns. All this was is the "Don't Do It Again or else......" rebuke! BFD!
From my limited understanding of House rules, Nancy could have reamed ole Joe a new one, but she's not that stupid.
This will be forgotten by tomorrow and Joe will get a couple more donations!
