The House of Representatives today took an hour to condemn rep. Joe Wilson for yelling “You lie!” at President Barack Obama during his address of the Joint Session last week on health care reform. Wilson’s apology was accepted by Obama’s chief-of-staff Rahm Emanuel but he refused to apologize a second time to his House colleagues for his rudeness.
Whereas the conduct of the Representative from South Carolina was a breech of decorum and degraded the proceedings of the joint session, to the discredit of the House: Now, therefore, let it be resolved that the House disapproves of the behavior if the Representative from South Carolina, Mr. Wilson, during the joint session of Congress held on Sept, 9, 2009.
