Democrats are ready to rebuke Joe Wilson (R-SC) for his (accurate but out-of-order) outburst during the president’s speech:
House Democratic leaders have decided to formally discipline Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., on Tuesday for his jeer last week at President Obama during a joint session of Congress. . .
Wilson bellowed “You lie!” at Obama during his address. It’s against House rules to call the president a “liar” or accuse him of “lying” when the House is in session.
It’s against the rules to call the president a liar, is it? I’ll be interested to see how Pete Stark (D-CA) votes on the resolution. The Democrats never rebuked him for repeatedly calling President Bush a liar from the House floor.
