rdNYTimes News Alert: House Votes, 240-179, to Rebuke Representative Joe Wilson Over Outburst
"By a party-line vote of 240-179, the House of Representatives approved a resolution expressing disapproval of Representative Joe Wilson's "You Lie!" outburst that disrupted President Obama's address to Congress last week."
I'm not even going to read the full story, because all of the idiocy is right here.
1. They actually took the time to vote on whether they should rebuke him. Because they don't need that time to, like, read legislation, or have committee meetings, or talk to their constituents, or any of that stuff.
2. They actually took the time to vote on whether they should rebuke him. As if they didn't know how that vote would go. (Yes, I see that the story says, "A handful of Republicans voted to rebuke their colleague; [sic] while a dozen Democrats voted against doing so." Also, NYT, do you have a copyeditor who knows how to use semicolons? I'm just sayin'.)
Really? This was a good use of your time? HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, USE YOUR BRAINS.
