You can’t be that simple to think there is a comparison in the two “episodes!”
I’m not suggesting that the intern was smart (an intern yelling f you to the President sounds as intelligent as a federal employee berating a cabinet secretary at dinner) nor do I believe the comparison is necessarily about the two episodes. Rather, the point is whether or not it is intellectually consistent to cheer on Joe Wilson (which I did) while demanding that the intern be fired (which I’m not necessarily advocating). Yea, one uttered an f-bomb and the other didn’t use vulgarity but prescinding from that point both individuals simply spoke their mind.
