 Letterman Heckles Obama’s HecklerPosted on Sep 11, 2009
Two can play this game, Joe Wilson. While the South Carolina congressman’s heckle heard ’round the country triggered dismay from his opponents and enthusiasm from his supporters, Rep. Wilson’s “You lie!” war cry to Obama during the president’s health care speech on Wednesday provided humor fodder for David Letterman’s Thursday night show. Here, Letterman reads his Top 10 list dedicated to Wilson, which includes a nice double whammy: “It’s been weeks since a Republican politician embarrassed the state of South Carolina.” —KA Advertisement Previous item: Wilson's Apology (Plus a Campaign Plug) Next item: Whither Obamacare?; Pelosi Says No on Afghanistan; 9/11 Remembered CommentsAre you a Truthdig member yet?

I’ve wondered how much damage Letterman has done by
portraying “W” as a brainless boob for so many years.
Probably not nearly as much as “W” did for being a
brainless boob for so many
years…
AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!

The world is watching this action and we are becoming the laughing stock of the world. What disrespect for our President whether you agree with him or not, he should not tolerate this kind of outburst. What on earth does SC voters think they are representing by election this caliber of congressman? What examples they have become for us all. I would be embarrassed if I still lived in a state that has a Governor that will not leave, and a couple of congressmen that have the manners of a pig. We always read what gentlemen and ladies southerners are. Well you are showing your true colors, Mr Wilson. I would be too ashamed to show my face ever again.

Anything for a laugh. And yet his viewers couldn’t help
but think that someone with class, style & intelligence
could turn American around. Unfortunately, what we got
was the cabal’s mortician & a dog named Bo.

old hippie you must be a breathing oxymoron. I always thought hippies were against big government and pretty much all that this administration stands for. I’m I wrong?

How sad that the GOP (This wasn’t their mouth piece Beck) this is the GOP, or what little there is left of it, must act out like hormonal preteens. Next they’ll be stomping their feet and slamming doors as they run to their room to cry. To bad we can’t hope that it’s only a stage and they’ll grow out of.
Report thisThey are only old fools at this point. They will never grow out of it, they will or are only going to grow to be bitter, deranged old folks. OOOPS they alreay are.
