Idiot S.C. Rep. Joe Wilson Shouts During Speech

As you probably already know, President Obama gave his big speech to congress and the American people where he essentially told everyone that health care can be really awesome. His speech carried with it a general feeling of “chill the fuck out, people” as he attempted to once and for all squash the rumors of a government run plan to steal the souls of the elderly and use them to kill unborn babies or some such ridiculous crap.

The big, distracting news that have come out of the whole speech isn’t really anything that Obama said. During a portion of the speech where the President attempted to assure Americans that illegal immigrants would not be covered by his plan, formally faceless and nameless South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson decided that there was no better moment than this to prove himself to be a massive dickhead. So taking the whole town hall atmosphere in to congress Wilson shouted “You Lie!” to which everyone on both sides of the aisle showed great bipartisan leadership by instantly agreeing to cut off any and all knowledge of Wilson’s existence.

Leading up to his shouting Rep. Wilson was probably seething with anger that was bubbling beneath the surface like a ready to over flow septic tank. When he finally popped, nothing but a mixture of feces, urine, and used tampons poured out. He also probably thought that his shout would start a mini congressional revolution that would end with all of the old, crotchety republicans wrapping their ties around their heads and going commando as they took back a government they feel should be theirs like a bunch of legislative and geriatric Rambos.

But, no. That didn’t happen. Instead, he issued an apology that we will now completely mischaracterize by passing it through our English-to-Foghorn Leg Horn translator…

“Now, now, I say now this evening I let my emotions get the best of me. Now, now I say, while I disagree with the president’s statement, I say my comments were as inappropriate and regrettable as a caterpillar getting caught in a chicken coup. Now, I say I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility, boy.”

The best part of the entire debacle didn’t even come from a politician. In fact, I’m pretty sure there are only a couple hundred people that actually saw the best part. When Buzzfeed.com picked up the story last night people started to leave their generic “what and idiot” and “moron” type comments almost instantly. Buzzfeed user Spam of God, on the other hand, wrote perhaps the best comment about this story that one could possibly write:

“He was actually saying “Yule lyre?”, he was trying to figure out if Obama wanted him to play his 17th century golden harp for the surprise Christmas pageant he and Biden were putting on for Barney Frank this year. Now you’ve ruined it. < sadface >”
