In an extraordinary breach of congressional decorum, a Republican lawmaker shouted “You lie” at President Barack Obama during his speech to Congress Wednesday.

Republican Representative Joe Wilson ((His web site is currently down. Apparently, it got slammed from South Carolina called the President to apologize, but he didn’t get to speak to Obama. I can’t imagine why. I’d let him stew in his own juices a while too.

I’m all for freedom of speech and speaking my mind, but even I know there are situations during which being respectful is more important than having my say. A joint session of Congress during a speech by the President? Probably not the best time to call the President a liar out loud in a shouty tone.

Note: There does seem to be confusion on whether he said “”You lie! or “It’s a lie!” Doesn’t really matter as the end result is the same. He loudly called the President a liar during a joint session of Congress and on national TV in a very, very quiet room. Sucks to be him.

And stop with the Tweeting while someone is standing in front of you speaking. What is with the juveniles in Congress that they can’t sit still and pay attention –or at least pretend to pay attention– for longer than five minutes at a time?!
