Audacity of Truth
Kruggie to Fibbs:
"Rudeness at the proper moment can serve a purpose — as I hope I’ve demonstrated over the years. But if you vent for the sake of venting; if you alienate people you’re going to need; then you’re just being stupid."

I demand an apology
Hey, since Rahm Emanuel can get away with demanding an apology from Rep. Joe Wilson, and House Democrats can get away with demanding Wislon apologize on the House floor (Pelosi has called for House Dems to “move on” from the idea of demanding a House floor apology or censure), I demand an apology from every single Democrat lawmaker who has called opponents of ObamaCare every name in the book over the last couple of months. Hey, it’s all in the interest of NuCivility, so why not?
Yeah, I know that’s about as likely to happen as our President actually being honest about something for once, but I just wanted to, you know, go on record.
Something else I’d like to go on record about is how offensive I found Obama’s use of the money spent to date on both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars in order to do two things: Justify his explosion of spending on programs that will do more harm than good to this country and to, as always, blame Bush. Guy Benson has a good takedown of the argument here, and Sarah Palin made mention of it in her response to Obama’s speech, which you can read here.

Here’s a link to show how the former president was booed….any apologies elicited from the offenders by Bush’s COS????
Hope you’re not holding your breath while you wait dear, blue isn’t your best color.
“What we have also seen in these last months is the same partisan spectacle that only hardens the disdain many Americans have toward their own government,” Obama said.
For once, well said. And admirable, since that is what the Founders intended from we, the people, a healthy disdain (or skepticism) of anything government. Too bad his entire political life is built around making sure peoples’ love goes to government as the giver of everything good, instead of to freedom as the basis to follow one’s dreams.
I like the way Duh-1 accepted Wilson’s apology today, saying we all make mistakes. The rest of it was pretty much a statement that “I’m right, you’re wrong, now it’s time to compromise by doing it my way.”
And I’ll bet there will be a couple of senators from the upper northeast (who can’t wait to hear how much the MSM loves them) who will justify their votes for this government grab by saying His Hollowness just sounded, you know, so nice and sincere and all, you know.
What a couple of mind slugs.
Protocol issues aside, [and the Dembot loonies in Congresscritterland yelled at GWB in 2005], Obama isn’t getting any traction on the fabled [largely mythical] ability of a good speech to sway the public in the marketplace of ideas. First of all, most Americans may have watched the great tennis match in the US Open or Monster Quest &/or Ghosthunters, all as important and realistic as the silliness that now pervades inside the Beltway.
When San Fran Nan displays an inability to move facial muscles [due to multiple Botox injections, no doubt] and a grinning buffoon like Biden reminds viewers that Obambi might not be as bad as the next-in-line, why not allow yourself an alternative by watching a DVD, the Yankee/Ray game, and wait for Dennis Miller afterwards to give a better sum-up than Bri-boy Will-i-ams or Katie Couric or even Chuck-[I despise Sarah Palin]- Gibson? Or the absent-on-vacation The Daily Show.
Obama is turning into Jimmy Carter faster than even I expected.
Rep. Joe Wilson had his moment in the the sun and his star shown brightly before quickly burning out under the watchful eye of Nancy Pelosi and the MSM—Joe you had it right, but then you backed down. Sadly Joe, people will remember the retreat more than that shining moment.
It’s worse than that…in Obama we have the massive incompetence of Jimmuh Carter combined with the ugly personality, enemies list keeping paranoia of Richard Nixon.
I demand an apology from Rahm for him being a worthless piece of S***!
Hmmmmmmmmm? Joe Wilson should have told Rahm to go pound sand up his ***. I would have done so, in a heart beat.
Ugly? Yup. Apologize? Not to anyone.
It’s like this. I don’t owe anyone, anything, anymore.
….And an ego greater than Bill Clinton. What a crazy and horrible mix. – Lorica
Personally, I think Wilson should have looked at Rahm, and said; “To quote Vice President Dick Cheney, ‘Go **** Yourself’”. The 3 worder prevails.
– Lorica
It’s interesting that everyone is so concerned about the protocol that was violated but no one has challenged Wilson on the fact that Obama is a liar.
Probably because they’d lose.
