If my son was busy twittering during a class, he'd be in detention.

If he shouted"liar" at his teacher, he'd be expelled.

All in all, the students yesterday were a much more mature audience.

1. If Joe Wilson was in my class, or the other childish churl

with the lame-o sign, they'd be out under the student code of conduct. What gives? Hope he gets a strong censure. At least he should be off the playground until he learns the rules (this is what I'd say to a kindergartner...)

3. Who had the sign and what did it say?

4. another congressman, I'll try to dig and find out who

It said "What bill?" and the guy had a stupid frat-boy-just-left-the-kegger-look on his face. Like, WHERE THE HELL HAS HE BEEN THE LAST FEW WEEKS??? I believe we've heard a few things about SEVERAL bills.... roll up your sleeves, asswipe, and get to work, then you won't have that stupid-ass look of disconnected ennui on your face.

2. My three year old grandson is more mature

He was watching the "schoolkids speech" with me and he sat there quietly for a while. But he's three so he can't sit still for long. But I repeat, he's three. How old are the Reps. in Congress? Presumably old enough to know better.

5. Congressman Kantor should get his ass whipped with Joe Wilson.

6. To be fair...

none of the "leadership" (Pence, Cantor, Boehner) appears to have tweated during the speech.
