Polite Liars and their Discredited House

There are seven words that you can’t say on television, that’s the old George Carlin comedy shtick. And apparently there are six things that Congressman and women can’t do in the House they are the following:

• call the President a “liar.” • call the President a “hypocrite.” • describe the President’s veto of a bill as “cowardly.” • charge that the President has been “intellectually dishonest.” • refer to the President as “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.” • refer to alleged “sexual misconduct on the President’s part.”

Even if some or all of the above is true you just can’t say it, unless of course, you are a Democrat and unless the president that you are calling a liar is President Bush...

Maybe Congressmen (and former Presidents and cabinet memebrs) can’t say those things in the House, but they can go give speeches in foreign countries and say them or publish them in books and sell them for profit

[silverleaf]

here is Pelosi calling President Bush incompetent and worse in the national/international media and blaming him for US troop deaths in Iraq

Is this a list of behaviors that must be accepted as normal for a Democratic POTUS?

[Verginius Rufus]

That’s why the House in Dec. 1998 impeached President Clinton for perjury, not for sexual misconduct.

THIS JUST IN FROM JOE WILSON

************************************

Dear Jo,

I wanted to take a few minutes today to thank you for all of the support you have given me. Despite the relentless attacks from liberal Democrats, I am motivated everyday by supporters like you.

I also want you to know that we are not alone in this fight. Republican leaders in the House and Senate have courageously stepped up to publicly support us throughout this ordeal.

I have written a Facebook note to thank Republican Leader Boehner, Republican Whip Cantor, Representative Steve King, Senator Graham and Senator DeMint for their support. Will you please take a moment to also thank them by commenting on my Facebook note?

The past week has been tough. The attacks from liberal Democrats have not subsided. But having thousands of Americans committed to standing for truth about the proposed health care reform has made this effort much more powerful. Additionally, I hope you will take notice of the courage some of my Republican colleagues have shown.

Please take some time to read my note to Republican Leader Boehner, Republican Whip Cantor, Representative King, Senator Graham and Senator DeMint and add a comment to thank them for their support.

Proud to stand with you,

Joe Wilson
U.S. Representative
