I've been around a long time and have worked in a labor-intensive industry most of my life. That means I have extensive knowledge and insights on human behavior... because I've seen just about everything.
And what I saw last night as Rep Joe Wilson pointed his finger at the President of the United States who was speaking to a joint session of Congress was appalling...
But more importantly what I observed about those surrounding Wilson was a glaring confirmation to me that Wilson's moment was well planned and executed.
Take a close look at this picture
Wilson's delivering his "lie" line, and what are the boys in front, on his left, right and behind him doing; they are looking straight ahead, except for the jerk on the left who couldn't quite control the smirk.
It's just like you did in the 3rd grade when you knew that lil Joey was going to throw a paper ball at the teacher when her back was turned, and when the teacher asks; who did that, you look straight ahead ...not daring to look a lil Joey.
Now, if these fine fellows didn't know that this wasn't coming, they'd have turned their heads and at least looked at Wilson, it's human nature.
One of the first things you learn when you walk into either chamber is that you treat each other with respect, regardless of party
(remember the dust up when Shooter told Leahy to "go f... yourself" on the senate floor).
So pointing your finger at the POTUS on live TV and shouting that’s a lie should have been a shocker ... I wasn't there and I was trying to scope out the room for the asshole that said that.
But his fellow Republicans were not shocked, they set there with their eyes set straight, almost trancelike ...they knew.
You will never convince me that this wasn't a planned attack. And that my friends, is even worse than what Wilson did ...he was stupid enough to be the pawn, and after listening to him today, he got played like a $2.00 whore by his own party. They picked the right man to do their dirty work.
The Republican Party has gone too far, their lock step; single sighted effort to destroy Obama has got to stop. They lost and their dream of an all white, bubba oligarchy (as long as they are part of that system) is in great danger and the stunt pulled last night shows just how far they'll go ... and I don’t think we’ve yet seen "how far they’ll go" and that should scare each and every one of us.
Oh and PS - to you Representative Joe Wilson and your Republican conspirators ...the President of the United States is black. You racist bastards!
(There’s a larger picture out there with more of the suspects surrounding Wilson - maybe 10 or 12 Reps - if you have please share. Every single one of them is not looking at lil Joey.
