Specter wants Wilson censured

Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Penn.), who's looked at POTUS from both sides now, was just on the Bill Press radio show suggesting the South Carolina firebrand Joe Wilson be censured for his heckle heard round the world.

Said the Republican-turned-Dem:

"He apologized immediately afterward but I don't think that’s adequate... If an apology is the consequence of an outburst I think we can expect more – that’s not a sufficient penalty that’s not a sufficient price to pay.. I'm not saying the guy should be kicked out of the House… But there ought to be some rebuke, reprimand, censure -- something that will discourage that kind of conduct in the future. If you do that to the President, it's open season."

Earlier on his show, Press spoke with House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC), who said Wilson should "man up" and apologize directly to Obama -- or that Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) should mea culpa the White House on his behalf.

It is not the job of the Senate especially Specter to tell the House what to do or not do.

[a fool in paradise]

Boo hoo. Cry in your cheerios.

So, back to the Health care issue. Did Obama achieve his goals last night? No, we are talking about a congressman that openly called him out, tee hee.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Specter wants Wilson censured. Hoosier-Daddy wants Specter retired.

Call ALL the Joe Wilson ‘Liar’ whiners a whambulance, kkthx.

[BAW]

Well, if the Congress is going to censure people . . how about . . .Charlie Rangel?

[eleni121]

Words fail. This is the creep that Jorge Bush supported over the real conservative in the PA primary.

This the creep that defended the UNICORN murderer—Ira Einhorn.

Why does this creep dare to show his face?

[cameraeye]

Hey Arlen, where were you when they were bashing President Bush? Hmmmmmm? So STFU!

[dead]

Specter wants Wilson censured

Under Scottish Law.

[mortal19440]

Hey Arlen, where were you when your new found Dem asshats booed Bush? I’m from PA Arlen and I can tell you to enjoy the rest of this term because you won’t have another one.

[Frantzie]

Specter can go to h*ll.

[mad_as_he$$]

As I said last night Wilson was a fool for apologizing. Why? Becasue it will NEVER be good enough. I predict he will fall into the trap of apologizing several more times and make a complete useless a$$ out of himself before it is over. Reps just do not get that any apparent weakness is exploited to the max degree by the left. He will now also get hammered by McCain and other apologetic RINOs who got us in this mess in the first place.

[bmwcyle]

I want Specter thrown in a pit.

[Cicero]

Spectre must see this as a way to gain fame and popularity among Dem voters in Penn. Because he’s not a very good bet for re-election.

[mlizzy]

How 'bout if Wilson invites Obama over for a beer?

[Lou Budvis]

This is why it was pointless to apologize. They will never be satisfied. If Wilson himself said he that he should be censored, they would demand his resignation. If he said he was going to resign, they would demand his arrest, If....

[smartymarty]

If our Founding Fathers succombed to censure Spectre wouldn’t have a job today. scumbag

[petitfour]

Oh please, please, please let Nancy and her minions censure Rep. Wilson. Talk about igniting the masses! At least there was someone willing to speak out FOR THE PEOPLE.

[y6162]

Joe Wilson should get a medal of freedom.

He is the only one who told the truth last night.
