Lies and the Lying Liars Who Yell Them

So this is what our civil discourse has come to. The president encouraging children to stay in school and study hard is indocternashun! Sosholism! The president giving a speech outlining his health care reform proposal is HitlerHitlerHITLER!

Stay classy, Joe Wilson. No doubt you’ll be outside some town hall this weekend, holding up a sign demanding that Obama release his “real burth cerfikate,” covered of course by Fox News, where the graphic will read, “Rep. Joe Wilson, (D) – SC.”

On the upside, his outburst did raise over $750,000 in campaign donations – for his opponent, Rob Miller.

And so, inevitably, instead of covering, oh, I don’t know, maybe the facts about health care reform, the media bobbleheads are all bobbling their heads over just how much of an ass clown Joe Wilson is. The point isn’t how rude he was. It’s how wrong he was. He was wrongedy-wrong wrong wrong. But never mind. Facts are boring, make for dull television, and have a well-known liberal bias. So it doesn’t matter much what Wilson yelled. What matters is the yelling. Could have been anything, really.

Top five things Joe Wilson really yelled during Obama’s speech:

5. I like your tie!

4. I’m so high!

3. Ham on rye!

2. The end is nigh!

1. Who wants pie?

And if you really want to be taken seriously, can we have less yelling and more spelling?
