Doesn’t matter: Wilson’s seat was impregnable even before this vote. You can’t be “even more impregnable than impregnable.” Multiplying infinity by infinity doesn’t accomplish anything.

See Politico: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0909/27194.html

[Snip] While Democrats said they were defending the rules of the House and enforcing the traditional decorum of the chamber, Republicans mounted a fierce attack on the resolution, saying it was a waste of time after Wilson had duly apologized to President Barack Obama for his outburst during a joint address to Congress. While a resolution of disapproval is little more than a slap on the wrist, a formal roll call vote like this – permanently entered into the Congressional Record – is extremely rare. [Snip]

[Snip] According to a C-SPAN count, 11 Democrats voted no on the resolution, and seven Republicans voted yes. [Snip]

Cool. I’d much rather they spend the next 3 years debating and voting on such resolutions than passing any more moronic legislation.

Joe Wilson spoke “TRUTH” to Power and was rebuked. Thats how far down this country has fallen. If you dare to question obama you are labled it is typical alinsky rules. Now can we also ask the House to rebuke Harry Reids comment that George W. Bush was a liar. Can we get Nancy Pelosi rebukded for her comments about the CIA lying? How bout Kerry and his telling people that our troops were raping and pillaging in Iraq? Can anyone hold an investigation on Murtha? Is William Jerfferson even going to do time for bribary?

America is falling apart at a rapid pace.

Why did the republicans even vote? Why didn't they walk out? God, what is wrong with these people? I heard Bush called a liar for EIGHT SOLID YEARS!

I bet we can guess some names and come pretty close!

The House is now officially on record as supporting liars to be President. Why don’t we just dispense with the oath of office in 2013? Clinton and Obama couldn’t tell the truth if their life depended on it, and the Democrats in the House are so ignorant, they can’t understand the ramifications of this fact.

Seven republicans need to be removed in 2010.
