Probable beltway evolution of Wilson's "You Lie" by wilbur Thu Sep 10, 2009 at 10:20:48 AM PDT (From the diaries. Brilliant! -- kos)
Ezra Klein
Joe Wilson’s “you lie” comment might be a great boon to the Democrats in their bid to pass health care.
EVOLVES TO
Michael Scherer (Time.com)
Joes Wilson broke decorum when he screamed “you lie” which may come back to hurt Republicans. Obama stared back at him and you could seem him twitch.
EVOLVES TO
Rush Limbaugh
And ladies and gentlemen Mr. Obama was calling Mr. Wilson a liar so he had to respond. Did you see the way that Obama twitched? Ladies and gentlemen that’s the type of twitch you see from the type of man Obama is (unsaid: Black) when he’s ready for a barroom fight or to push you aside and ravage your sister. We’ve all seen that twitch before and we’ve all known what it means.
EVOLVES TO
Drudge
Breaking Headline: Obama twitch is seen as a challenge not only to Wilson but anybody who disagrees with him. Obama wants a barroom fight – and watch your sister.
EVOLVES TO
Politico
“The Twitch” – major backlash on Obama’s response to Joe Wilson’s comment – while Wilson is nothing more than a back bencher, Obama raised his stature by using body language to make what feels like to a lot of people a direct threat, to Wilson, the Republicans and their sisters.
EVOLVES TO
Fox News
We are spending all day discussing “The Twitch,” which is getting people really riled up in the real America (show signs of teabaggers carrying signs saying “Don’t Twitch on Me!”) We have noted body language psychologist Dr. Kraz Y. Town to talk about it.
Town: Yes, I want to show you these pictures of Hitler speaking at Nuremberg. You see the same type of twitch.
EVOLVES TO
Sarah Palin (Twitter)
Don’t “Twitch on Me” buddy. I’ve seen that Twitch before and I know to get out of the room fast or I’m going to wind up with a black eye or pregnant
EVOLVES TO
George Will
The first thing a president must have is decorum. You would never see Ronald Reagan twitch like that, make that type of unabashed challenge to a lowly backbencher. Mr. Obama has done himself and his country a disservice.
EVOLVES TO
David Broder
While I understand that the comment was inappropriate all eyes were on Obama and not Joe Wilson. Obama broke comity and destroyed bipartisanship with that twitch. This is our town Mr. Obama and we don’t appreciate you twitching in it.
EVOLVES TO
Chris Mathews
Mathews: Hi, this is Chris Mathews on Hardball. We’re going to be talking about “The Twitch” with a Democratic consultant. Didn’t Obama make a real mistake with that Twitch?
Democratic Consultant: Well, I’ll admit it wasn’t Obama’s best moment, but he was doing it in response to a comment.
Mathews: Come on Joe Wilson is a nothing, a nobody, and hey, we all know what that twitch means. I’m a lunch bucket kind of guy, I’ve been in bars, I have a sister.
Democratic Consultant: Well we need to admit Obama made a mistake with the Twitch and try and move on and pass health care.
EVOLVES TO
Michael Scherer
Obama’s Twitch is causing him enormous trouble. It’s hard to believe this type of blowback. How did the White House lose control of an issue that should have played in their favor?
EVOLVES TO
Ezra Klein
As idiotic as the twitch is, it looks like it is going to doom the public option

7. I can see Tweety starting his show off with "Twitch!" |
|
Why does he always start off the show with a single word and nothing else. I think he used to have a phrase that would sum up the biggest story or theme of the day's show, but I think he just got lazy now. Soon it will be just a letter... "T!"

12. anyone who doubts the racist aspect |
|
of their hatred - has only to read their word "sisters" - - - they are invoking the "bad black man" image...
It makes me so angry I can hardly type I'm shaking so. I just want to to - i dunno - slap 'em up side the head or or something! OMFG - sometimes I really hate people, you know?
What @ssh@le b@st@rds they are. I'll be glad when all the racists are just dead.

|
stated otherwise, because it sounds exactly like the shit we hear all the time!
I was getting really pissed until I got to Chris Matthews and remembered it was a joke. lol
