busby1013Threat # 2: Joe Wilson!
I know, I know, we’re all big fans, but the congressman’s emotional outburst during President Obama’s speech Wednesday night is a character flaw that cannot be overlooked. NBC anchor Brian Williams pointed out that such heckling is akin to the manner in which British Parliament conducts its legislative sessions, not the good old fashioned down home American way of doing it by standing up before the room with oftentimes arcane and overwrought visual supports accompanied by self righteous brow beating and heavy-handed vocals.
*insert classic clips of congressional presentations, including Ted Stevens and Robert Byrd doing their coot-off*
Our way is just so much more dignified.
So, you gotta know Joe! This kind of random irresponsible shouting, though totally justified, is un-American. I’ll be damned if you continue acting like those snobby toddy-swillers. Be a patriot and declare your disapproval of Obama’s health care plan with proper decorum… and framed photos of Obama wearing a Hitler mustache. It’s the American way.
