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.

Arlen Sphincter should be punished for pretending to be republican all these years.

Spector speaks like a true blue turncoat.

Effectively it appears that most Republicans in the House have had their voices censured already.

Cheers to the 1st Amendment and calling a liar a liar.

He has already punished both himself and us—in his apology!

Joe Wilson brief hero/wimp in reality!
What can one expect from the de—generations of the hippies, dopers, and baby boomers, etc.

The heroes—the Pattons, MacArthurs, Audie Murphys, Chesty Pullers, John Waynes, etc. are gone—what you see is what you get!

Are Ron Paul and Paul Broun the only real men left in the HR???

This is rich.

Specter should be kicked out of the Senate for deceiving the good people of Pennsylvania who elected him to represent them as a REPUBLICAN!

So lying to the congress and the American people is OK, but calling him on it in a boorish manner is subject of censure? No wonder the government is following Specter's career path down the shitter.

Spector is an irrelevant piece of flotsam not greatly differing from McCain.

Specter? It’s a good thing that liberals are so utterly shameless and such thorough hypocrites. Here’s a guy who betrayed his party time and again, finally LEAVING it for political ends and he wants to impose HIS view of right and wrong on someone!! Astounding, but NOT surprising.

Specter started as a slime ball. He grew up as a slimeball, and in high school, was a rapt student of being a slimeball. When he went to college, he joined the slimeball team as Head Slimeball. He excelled in this sport. He graduated with Slimeball honors, went to war in WWI as a 13-D Slimeball Operator, and won three medals of Slime. Then he married into Slime, ran for Senate under the Slimeball party, and remained a Slimeball for the entirity of his career.

How about this apology for size.
“I am sorry you are a liar”
or
“I am sorry you can’t tgell the truth”
or
“I am really sorry that you were ever elcted in the first place you post turtle!”
