Take a note from Rep. Joe Wilson

It's not what you think it is. I know what the title says but this is how I look at it. If we as citizens have the gumption to do what Mr. Wilson did to the President in front of the World, we should be able to do it to the news media. "You lie!" It's all over the place and it has caused all kinds of havoc. Even though the President was not referring to the current HR bill, his ideas mirror that more of the plan coming out of the Senate. I bet if I turned on the television right now all the stations would still be talking about the same thing. So, do you think the statement helped the President's cause or not? We'll just have to see. At last now we know why the town halls are so nutts. This was essentially Town hall meets House Floor. They had signs like town halls attendees (Republican had a sign on his lap saying, "What Bill?") I think I talked about this before. Behavior like this reinforces constituents to resort to the same acts when confronted with issues they don't agree with. Maybe we should start teaching a Tact 1001 course to Congress. Just a thought. If anyone has ever watched BBC when they are showing the British Parliament in session, their representatives are a lot more entertaining than ours, and I think they already have Health care reform. I say Bring Out the Boxing Gloves! The spectacle already sounded like a World Cup match. All we needed was the naked guy running down the isle in just a tie and the brawl at the end.
