I’m going to be googling “Joe Wilson for president” regularly the next few weeks. I think Bruce Bartlett is right (via Kevin Drum via Sully):

No doubt, right wing publishers like Regnery and Crown will be beating down Wilson’s door today to sign a book deal that will put him at the top of the New York Times bestseller list along with drivel from the likes of Michelle Malkin, who has probably already started writing her biography of Wilson, titled, “The Man Who Spoke the Truth.” By the end of the day a Wilson for President web site will be fully functioning if it isn’t already. Watch for the announcement on Glenn Beck’s show this afternoon.

    ron reagan jr just had a very good appearance on hardball talking about the wilson behavior; stressing how this was far and beyond the goofball behavior we’ve grown to expect at those sessions — the competitive ovations; shoe shuffling. this was something different and very likely with a racist angle to it. and very troubling.

    it was nice to see someone speak so directly about what’s going on.

    just think… Obama’s only been president for 8 months. we’re in for at least another 3.25 years of this GOP insanity.

    i wonder if they’ll progress to some kind of singularity, where the dumb becomes so strong that the party can no longer sustain its structural and integrity and the whole thing just collapses in on itself and winks out of existence; or will they go full supernova and consume everything around them in a catastrophic blast of superheated stupidity plasma.

    I wonder if the right can grog that we on the left want to see massive donations flowing the way of Joe Wilson. They’re only going to come from people who would already have been giving that money to other more nationally prominent Republicans … and it’s going to act like seed money for a contest on who in the Republican Party can act in a way that most pisses-off independent voters.

    I’ve been thinking about whether Wilson should be censured or not, and the more I think about it, the more I think, yes.

    Pelosi has already said that she’s against censure; she doesn’t want to waste any more time on Wilson. If that were the extent of it, I’d agree. I really don’t care if Wilson gets punished or not — except by his constituents.

    But I do care about the example it sets. The House actually has decorum rules, and if Wilson’s behavior leaves no mark on his congressional record, then Republicans will feel free to behave just as badly and worse during Obama’s speeches over the rest of his presidency. Let this go, and at the State of the Union in February/March, it’ll be a fucking choir of Republicans interrupting Obama’s address.

    So I think they need to go through with censure, despite it being an otherwise waste of time.

    I just watched clips on NBC and CBS news. CBS did not point out that the law actually says undocumented workers will not be covered but did show both last nights and CSpan’s clip that indicates Wilson might have an anger problem. NBC corrected Wilson’s lie but had Joe Scarborough saying how he was surprised that such a mild mannered guy could get angry.
    Wilson lied. He did not say that he was concerned about loop holes and that he wanted the loop holes closed. He said that Obama lied which he did not.

    Wilson is the one who was truthful, as the President was lying. The Republican amendment to explicitly exclude illegal aliens from health benefits was voted down and the bill would most surely transfer health resources from old people to illegal aliens, as Emmanuel’s formula only considers age, not IQ, although both are solid metrics of a Citizen’s value to the State.

    Not only is Wilson truthful, but he has not bitten off any fingers of his political opponents, has not likely done crack cocaine, had felons provide him with discount housing in exchange for political favors, or accepted a doubling of his wife’s tribute upon taking office. Wilson would thus make an acceptable President.

    All we can really ask of our elected officials is to be honest with us at this stage of history. Sarah Palin might not be very sharp, but she is a credit to her gender, and has also not appeared to lie to the American people. Sarah would make for a good Vice President.

    I bet Glenn Beck is the next President though. He has come up with a common-sense political platform.

    Paragraph 2: (1) Obama did not bite off a finger of a political opponent, at least it didn’t make Fox News if he did. I think it was a crazy Obama health care reform supporter. I also think there are more demonstrably crazy supporters of the Republican non-plan than there are of any Obama plan. (2) Obama is apparently “likely” to have done crack. Because he hung out with radical hippies? What’s the measure of “likelihood” here, like probability numbers or something. Unless of course you’re using insinuation as a measure of truthiness. (3) And exactly what was the “tribute”that was doubled and that he should have refused? That one has me completely flummoxed.

    Paragraph 3: Sarah Palin is a credit to her gender, which is kinda like Obama being a credit to his … well, you know. And she has not appeared to lie to the AMerican people, she has actually done so. No mere pretending for appearance’s sake, the real deal.

    Stop whining about your equipment!

    Go buy a stinking $8 pizza stone, a $6 pizza peel, and some corn meal for a lubricant between the pizza peel and the fresh dough. Heat up the oven and stone to 500F, exercise the lubricated interface by shifting the dough with a little back and forth with the peel handle, and then add toppings, and slosh the pizza onto the stone.

    This will be a much improved pizza. It takes minutes for the Pyrex to come to temperature, resulting in a crappy, soggy crust, much like Joe Wilson’s inadequate protest.

    OT like anyone cares, but Ahab @133 said “This is a bald-faced lie.”
    I don’t want to get all pedantic on your ass, O.K. maybe I do, but I think that should be “bold-faced lie”. I lie that stands out in bold-face as opposed to a clean shaven lie which makes no sense much like Makewi or B.O.B.

    Also, if Ahab never made pizza for Makewi, why is Makewi dissing Ahab’s pizza making skills? This sort of metaphysical incoherence is what caused me to leave the Catholic religion.

    I’m a little worried about you, as you seem increasingly concerned with my mental state. I can assure you my facilities are in perfect working order.

    Maybe you should put me down for a while.

    As an aside, apparently Meth is a real problem here in Honolulu. They have a big ad buy warning of the dangers on all the city buses. Don’t touch the stuff myself.

    Remember when kids used to get an education, or at least be quiet when they had no idea what they were talking about? Haha yeah neither do I.

    Crazy people always say that. I just wanted to know what would prompt a person to call a bunch of multicultural, bleeding heart liberal nanny staters, skinheads.

    I didn’t write the word “entrepenour”. That is a bald-face lie and by that I mean clean shaven.

    Also, “jive honky” gets me in moderation! Who’s in charge, Archie Bunker?

    I’ll heartily second BoB here. I’ll also add that our $60 breadman bread machine has a pizza dough setting that turns out perfect dough in about the time it takes to prep the rest of the ingredients. Our incredibly picky Southern Italian guests even love our pizza.

    Roll the crust out thin and keep the toppings a little restrained and you too can bake like they do in Napoli. (Go with the canned plum tomatoes.)

    Just FYI, Quinoa will work instead of corn meal if you have issues with corn.

    Firstly, Wiki has a well known liberal bias.
    Secondly, O.K. I was wrong, both are correct but my version makes mores sense so Nya! Nya! Nya!

    Being a multiculti bleeding heart liberal nanny stater does not give one a pass on using racially charged terms. Thus, skinheads.

    @Makewi:

    So identifying racists by calling racists by allegedly racist epitaths, ie Crackers is racist in and of itself. Brilliant dude,

    Congrats! You just won today’s wingnut logic prize.

    @Makewi:

    First off I don’t agree and most don’t that “cracker” is a racist term. I was born in cracker land, and many there use it themselves as being a cultural term of southern heritage and country attitude. Some crackers are racist, most not.

    So you are just ill informed. Though sometimes belonging to neo confederate groups can certainly be an indication of racist leanings.

    The rest of you nonsense is just that. nonsense. Having no rational meaning. No more time will I waste on you, rube troll.

    I bet Glenn Beck is the next President though. He has come up with a common-sense political platform.

    Would that be the same Glenn Beck who raped and murdered raped and murdered a young girl in 1990?. It makes sense that he’d want to become president, if he did he could issue himself a pardon.

    Call someone a cracker in Florida and you’re going to be up against it with a hate crime.

    I had no idea you were just a fan of hate speech laws.

    There is no indication that Wilson is a racist. So, maybe you should keep that prize for yourself.

    So let me see, according to you and your buddies in the wingnut-o-sphere Barack Obama is an Islamic radical racist because he went to school in Kenya, served in a committee with a former member of the Weather Underground, Bill Ayers, and went to Jeremiah Wright’s church; however even though Joe Wilson

    is a member of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans, a group which is on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch List
    Attacked Strom Thurmond’s black daughter, Essie Mae Williams, for revealing that Thurmond was her father
    was the protege of racist Republican congressman Floyd Spence, who left the Democratic party in 1962 because of civil rights and who had Lee Atwater attack one of his opponents as a member of the NAACP.

    doesn’t indicate that Joe Wilson’s a racist. Next up from Makewi: a spirited defense of Larry Craig’s heterosexuality in which he will accuse anyone who doesn’t believe that Larry just has a wide stance of being a gay-basher.

    @Wile E. Quixote:

    Not to forget that he was an aide to Strom Thurmond, who left the Democratic party and ran for president to oppose the *Truman* civil rights bill (that is: he couldn’t stomach things like desegregating the armed services). Y’know, the guy who said: “There’s not enough troops in the Army to break down segregation and admit the Negro into our homes, our eating places, our swimming pools and our theaters.'”
