WASHINGTON – The House has voted to admonish Rep. Joe Wilson over his "You lie" outburst to President Barack Obama during the president's health care speech to Congress last week.
The 240-179 vote on the resolution of disapproval reflected the sharp partisan divide over the issue. Democrats insisted that the South Carolina Republican take responsibility for what they said was a serious breach of decorum. Republicans characterized the vote as a political stunt.

I would use the document to wipe my butt.
And as for apologizing, I would attack those who voted for the measure as being racists.

I would use the document to wipe my butt. Nope. I would frame it and put it on my wall.

And taking a cue from the UN a tersely worded letter to follow should he do it again, and on the third offense to have Pelosi wave her finger sternly in his direction.

“Dennis Kucinich of Ohio” Yeah, I found that no vote kind of surprising too. My guess is that Dennis was too stoned to know what he was voting on.

Sounds like it’s time for another contribution to Congressman Wilson’s campaign. He brought in $1M since the comment. I wonder if this will put him over $2M.

I’m really surprised at Dana Rohrabacher’s vote. He is about as conservative as you can get.

Well, Norm, that sounds like a good day in Congress. Nothing accomplished.

Dennis Kucinich of Ohio? My reaction as well. I could make my usual snarky "Dennis is an alien" remarks but I'm guessing the man voted his conscience here. I don't see him afraid of Nancy Pelosi.
To: Moonman62
No, but there is an expected standard of behavior. Including that of the President? He was combative and insulting to the Republicans and "we" the people.
