[scheming daemons]

The man looks like he was hit by a truck.

I think something put the fear of Rahm into him.

[tekisui]

1. I heard that he called Obama and only got to Rahm.

I bet Rahm said words to him that Wilson didn't know existed.

[Cha]

16. This was on the wapo.com last night.. "a blow by blow"

from dana milbank..so who knows..

And, this footnote.."An incensed White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel went up to GOP Reps. Roy Blunt (Mo.) and Paul Ryan (Wis.) to complain about the outburst. "No president has ever had that happen," Emanuel said. "My advice is he apologize immediately. You know my number."

2. He doesn't sound so cocky now. He should not be allowed to attend

the State of the Union Address in January. Clearly, he isn't mature or respectful enough to control himself.

[Cha]

17. Really, he needs to take an anger management course

and pass, first..and then he needs to work on his comprehension skills.

25. I like that idea!

I've already contacted my representative and Nancy Pelosi asking that they censure or at a minimum, reprimand Rep. Wilson. Now I will write them with your suggestion, which I think is an excellent one. It will work best if they make sure that they put out some press releases in the days before the SOU address, stating that Rep Wilson will not be attending and why. That would add public shaming to his punishment, which is quite appropriate under the circumstances.

3. Maybe the $240,000 that has been contributed to his opponent?

Since last night.

On ActBlue ALONE.

6. A smart person on his staff did the math: $20,000 per hour! And Miller didn't even have to sit

through a boring private insurance company pitch to get it like Wilson did!

[Barack_America]

12. Or sell his soul.

[Cha]

20. All Robb Miller had to do was presumeably sit

home and listen to the President's Speech to Congress on Health Care..where he may end up in 2010:patriot:

[Cha]

18. Oh my Good-NESS! When I left it was

about $40 Thou!:bounce:

Money Talks:bounce:

[Robeysays]

23. 260,819 now

[firedupdem]

4. lying creep. not so tough when he's standing alone. n/t

[Political Tiger]

8. Exactly what I was thinking! n/t

[Diane R]

5. He never said he regretted it. He simply reported what the leadership told him.

[Political Tiger]

7. What an ass! He's not so tough today!

Mumbling and stumbling over his words....he sounded like he swallowed his larynx. What a piss ant!

[Cha]

21. All that futile

shouting last night.:)

[Mrs. Overall]

9. Arrogant asshole. He thinks his little spontaneous shout was justified.

[Parker CA]

10. Doesn't help that his 2010 Dem challenger has raised more than 1/4 million since last night. nt.

[mscuedawg]

11. "They" wanted me to call and apologize to the White House....

...so much for regret...he was TOLD to do so...

[Barack_America]

13. I listened to it again. He did not say "apologize".

He said something to the effect of "They want me to call and say my actions were wrong, which I did".

[mscuedawg]

15. Ok...my point being that he didnt do it out of the kindness of his heart...he was TOLD to do so...

by "the leadership" ...

[Barack_America]

19. No, no. I wasn't being critical. Everyone is printing that he said "apologize".

He didn't.

But yeah, the main point is that whatever he did, it wasn't sincere.

[mscuedawg]

24. No worries...gotta have your facts straight! : ) n/t

[Skidmore]

14. Ole Joe looked weak and we all know how much Rs hate

"leaders" that don't look all macho and bullyboy. If he is made to look even weaker, they will drop him.

[DebbieCDC]

22. Well, personally I don't care much for Rahm

But I sure as hell would NOT want to be on the receiving end of whatever he dished out to Wilson :rofl:

On edit: Wilson was practically pissing his pants in that video. Gawd that's a double :rofl: :rofl:
