Biden says congressman's outburst was embarrassing
About the only truth in that statement is that Joe Biden has a lot of
experience in embarrassing. i saw this report on the news this morning
after last night's speech. As I didn't sit in rap attention completely
enamoured by the messianic one like many do, I obviously missed the
great dramatic moment when the republican congressman Wilson got
carried away and blurted out.
But having heard the outburst now in various forms all day and having
seen and heard the video clip early this morning, my immediate reaction
was, "I bet most Americans have never heard or witnessed what goes on
in the British parliament on a regular basis.
Oh the Horror! A US congressman blurts out what at least half of the
country and more is thinking. And suddenly he is cast by the media as
"Peck's bad boy" and here comes the likes of John McCain and his less
than two cents worth of politically correct chastisement.
Give me a break. If the Brits have anything at all in their system that
is sorely missing in ours? It is the right of congress to openly
challenge a sitting president "to his face and in front of a regular
joint session" of congress, as it concerns his actions, policies and
proposed legislation that he is sponsoring or supporting.
