as beautiful as I found Joe Wilson's outburst...

...can I just say that I think the actions being taken now by Democrats--threatening censure if he doesn't apologize on the floor of Congress--is just making them look absolutely A-number-one pathetic.

Why?

Because these are the same people...the exact same people, many of 'em--who decided to let Bush and Cheney finish their terms with nary a word of sanction, and certainly not the word...impeachment.

Dig it:

They're going to give Wilson a chance to whine to his supporters, about how the mean old Democrats are trying to stifle and silence him and they're bullies. He'll raise money off of it.

Thing is, he'll be right about calling Democrats bullies if they go ahead with this stupid idea.

Bully: a blustering...person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people.

Joe Wilson hurt absolutely no one as much as himself. In fact, he showed the world what immature, wrongheaded brats the Republicans have become.

Nancy Pelosi and company want to turn him into a martyr. Nice thinkin', Nancy.

Bush and/or Cheney fed the Bill of Rights into a shredder, made jokes about sending other people's children to their deaths, protected their cronies all around and has generally all but wrecked this country (and their leftover policies may still finish the job).

Joe Wilson is facing censure.

Bush, meanwhile, is chillin' in Texas, and the most dangerous place in America has become between Dick Cheney and a camera.

Priorities. Fucking priorities...
