Uncouth US Representative Joe Wilson has been brought to heel quickly by his Republican associates. After losing his composure in the halls of Congress last night and calling President Obama a lie during his address Wilson called the White House personally to uncork foot from mouth. Just when you thought Strom Thurmond was good and burried he’s apparently reincarnated in this guy. I imagine he’s still rinsing out the pebbles. How’s that shoe leather tasting now Joe? Congratulations on continuing to represent your backwards state so well.

Representative Wilson showed none of the respect that is due to the President and he is justifiably being publicly vilified by the likes of me. Whether the President of the United States uses strong language or not you always show deference to him as a guest of the Congress. Respect the position.

Quite frankly I was ready to shut down Genius Joe’s servers because of his disrespectful outburst. Looks like my fellow bloggers and other Americans beat me to the punch though because the connection to his site kept timing out last night. As of this moment this morning the site is down for maintenance. I think Joe is getting the message.

Although he has done the right thing with his apology, in my view there are more consequences to be paid, just so he really gets the message so here’s how to get in touch with the Gentleman (right) from South Carolina. Whenever his House of Representatives site comes back up send him a message. Until then call his office at 202-225-2452 and make your disgust known.
