It’s been a long, eventful three weeks since Jon Stewart last graced us with his ascerbic wit. Joe Wilson’s outburst and Glenn Beck’s Million (not so much) Unbalanced Angry White Man March were all the more troubling without him. [via]

“Not to be outdone by his potential opponent for Congress in 2010, Rob Miller, who has raised more than $350,000 since Wilson’s now infamous “You Lie” outburst, the congressman has a new video in which he explains his behavior and then goes on to ask for… campaign cash.”

I guess we’ll have to start the morning off with talking about Obama’s healthcare speech. It was nice and firm, but you’ll excuse me if I’m one of many who thinks the time for speeches is over and the time for twisting arms must begin. Still, it was a good speech and will probably be remembered for the idiot Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) who called the President a liar.
So classy, though I quite like the idea of British-style political heckling being added to American politics.
Could you imagine if the Democrats had the gall to do that to Bush and Cheney? It’d be a whole lot of liar. Anyway, the funny thing about it was that Wilson called the president a liar, but during that portion of the speech he was essentially being truthful that illegal immigrants won’t receive healthcare.
Anyway a roundup of reactions from across the web. MORE »
