The House of Representatives officially rebuked Republican Joe Wilson on Tuesday for shouting "You lie!" in the middle of President Obama's health care address to a joint session of Congress.

The South Carolina lawmaker's outburst last week was a "breach of decorum," according to the resolution, which states that the House "disapproves" of his behavior. The resolution passed 240-179, largely along party lines. Seven Republicans broke with their leadership to support it; 12 Democrats were opposed.

The President said the apology was enough when Joe first apologized but now the the Democrats pass this silly rebuke. Give it a week and they'll cry about Republicans being partisan.

I see it as a badge of honor.  Last I heard by Friday Joe earned at least $1million in campaign donations.

what's worse is the race card is being played more than a Charizard in a Pokemon deck. Accusations running the gamut about how people criticizing Obama only do it cos he's black. The most riotous claim is that it's "subconscious" and so most people are just ignorant about the fact that they criticize him based on race.

Yeah, but then he had to go and say sorry.

Which then got all his supporters angry because they believed he was right.

It's pointless. Does it restrict his ability to operate in the House? No. Does it fine him? No.

It's like confronting a British cop: "Stop. Or I'll say 'Stop' again."
