Who heckled Obama during his address to Congress?

I’m flabbergasted. Obama was speaking about the lies and misinformation being spread in the health care debate, and some cretin fucking heckles him? I’m not yet ready to express outrage because it may have been a really loud fart. Clearly the noise came from the same orifice no matter what.

Anyone know who it was?

Biden looked over there and shook his head sadly. I hope the cameras picked this up so we can have the responsible person on Hardball this week.

That person will later be invited on Fox and Friends as the courageous person who dared to show disapproval of Obama’s socialism.

ME!

Oh, you mean someone who was there in person. Nevermind. :smiley:

Politico is reporting that it is Joe Wilson (R-SC).

I think the way Pelosi’s reaction was priceless. Such unmitigated disbelief. Not that she (or anyone) should have been surprised at the sentiment, but the absolute lack of decorum was appalling.

PatriotGrrrl gets a pass on this one, but if you ever make it to Congress, keep yer yap shut!

TalkingPointsMemo has the same name. I am trying to register my displeasure via his website, but it has been slammed by traffic.

Christ, at least do it right… “<cough>BULLSHIT!”

Expect this bold move to usher in a new era of real-time “commentary” during Presidential addresses, e.g., shouting “BO-ring!” and loudly informing the Commander-in-Chief that he “talks like a fag.”

It sounded like he shouted “Lie”. Did I hear that right?

You did. A new low for South Carolina.

Indeed. In related news, would it be illegal to organize a bunch of 419 emails on Bustany? (Without actually trying to take any money.) I mean, he was dumb enough to fall for one scam.

And really, consider that South Carolina’s last low was that their governor ran into the woods for 4 days because he saw a coyote and wanted to fuck it. They haven’t exactly fallen off of a sterling precipice of dignity tonight.

Is that going to be on the new premium c-span?

Censure in the United States

Wilson had his say.
Now lets see Pelosi make him pay the price for it.

It’s up on Joe Wilson’s entry in Wikipedia already:

Apparently the first version (or at least one of them) was “He is a douchebag that called the President of the United States a liar on national television and has no respect for the office he holds.”

Less polite but definitely true. Though whoever wrote that left that pronoun dangling out there.

Who was the dope carrying a sign that said “What Bill?”

Christ, you’d think these guys were in Junior High or something.

Funny - your link took me to a page there was no such page.

Just bad HTML. Here’s the actual URL. Joe Wilson (American politician) - Wikipedia

It’s pretty funny that a bunch of people spreading lies about morphing America’s health care into England’s is working at morphing the American Congress into Korea’s.
