Joe Wilson Rebuked for Calling Obama a Liar by House Democrats Who Called Bush a Liar

September 15th, 2009 · 5 Comments

“Go to your bosom: Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know.”
  
 - Measure for Measure, Act II, Scene II -
 
The House of Representatives has just passed a resolution formally disapproving of Joe Wilson’s (R-SC) “you lie” comment directed at President Obama during his healthcare speech last Wednesday.
 
No word on whether the House will rebuke Democrat Pete Stark for the following courtesy of the Huffington Post:
 
Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.), told an anti-reform attendee at a recent town hall meeting that he wouldn’t “dignify” the man by peeing on his leg.
 
The elderly citizen had gone on a long diatribe about the failures of government-run health care, to much applause and enthusiastic shouting from the crowd.
 
He concluded with:”Mr. Congressman, don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.”
 
“I wouldn’t dignify you by peeing on your leg, it wouldn’t be worth wasting the urine,” Stark shot back.

Here’s the video:
