During the president's speech on Wednesday, Congressman Joe Wilson stunned a nation already on tenterhooks trying to figure out what the hell Barry was talking about. After the president claimed that the healthcare bill would not cover illegal aliens, Mr. Wilson decided he had had enough. "You LIE!", became the shot heard 'round the world, and Congressman Wilson had fired it. Since then, the good congressman (pictured below shouting the president down) has apparently raised $700,000. Not bad.

But Joe wasn't the only Republican out there disgusted by what he heard. He was only the loudest. Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas held a sign throughout the speech asking the president to reveal what mysterious plan he was speaking of, since it didn't seem to resemble any bill currently before Congress.Congressman John Shimkus of Illinois was so embarrased of just being in earshot of Barry's bellicose blather-fest that he walked out of the chamber.And when the president insisted that opponents of the current proposals offer solutions of their own, more than a handful of Republican representatives stood up waiving their own reform bills in the air.

‘And when the president insisted that opponents of the current proposals offer solutions of their own, more than a handful of Republican representatives stood up waiving their own reform bills in the air.’

Barry seems totally out of the loop w/ both party’s plans. What the heck does he do all day? Issuing such a challenge usually doesn’t work too well when in cases like this.

As sad as it is, perhaps the quickest and most effective way to get the GOP cowards to at least fake being conservatives would be to pay them in campaign contributions.

Who's the first candidate to stand up and shout "Where's the birth certificate?!" in Congress - he'll be the guy with $1 million in his campaign fund in under 30 minutes.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Joe Wilson and Kwane West should go on tour...sarc. They both got some attention this week for interupting. Kinda funny both stories came out this week.

You know the picture of Rahm Emanuel in Joe Wilson's face. I just went to Yahoo News Photos to find it and there's only 2 pictures of Emanuel total. Seems odd. Talk about a shadowy figure.

If the Dems do censure Wilson, and force him to go to the well of the House to hear Pelosi read the motion, I hope that ALL of the GOP congressmen go down there and stand with him...
