Video: Rep. Pete Stark Calls Bush A Liar Twice On House Floor
Democrats in the House are planning a full dog and pony show for the American people today when they formally discipline Rep. Joe Wilson. They plan to formally pass a resolution condemning his outburst and condemning him.
Granted, the resolution means nothing and has no punishment other than a few nasty looks from Nancy “Stretch” Pelosi, but it will make for good theater.
Since democrats are acting particularly sanctimonious about Wilson and pretending they’ve never seen anyone call the president a liar before, let’s take a trip down memory lane…
Here’s big-time jerk Rep. Pete Stark calling President Bush a liar on the floor of the House not once — but twice.
Do you smell that? It’s the foul stench of hypocrisy in the air. What Joe Wilson said is laughable compared to what this scumbag said.

Incidentally, the thing Wilson called Obama a liar for — is now being fixed.

The Hill’s Hilarious Hit Piece On Joe Wilson
Jordan Fabian over at The Hill wrote a hilarious hit piece on Rep. Joe Wilson (the guy who yelled liar! at the president). It’s hilarious both because it’s so bad and because it’s obviously a hit piece.
Titled, “Wilson took caffeine pills in 2007”, the article talks about Wilson’s use of the caffeine supplement NoDoz throughout 2007.
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), who shouted "you lie!" at President Obama during his Wednesday night address to Congress, admitted to regularly consuming caffeine pills in 2007.
It is unclear if Wilson still takes NoDoz, a brand of pill that contains 200 milligrams of caffeine a pop. By comparison, a seven ounce cup of drip coffee contains 115 to 175 milligrams of caffeine.
A source told The Hill in 2007 that the congressman ingested the tablets “like candy," but Wilson insisted he was not addicted despite the fact that he had been taking them since high school.
"I love coffee, but I don’t have time to drink it and I don’t have access to it," Wilson said at the time.
The article goes on to say Wilson did inform his doctor of his NoDoz use and was assured it was okay as long as he didn’t get addicted.
I’m not exactly sure what Joe Wilson’s caffeine consumption has to do with President Obama being a liar, but I’m hoping it will come to me at some point today.
That said, it’s worth noting that President Obama indulged in cocaine and marijuana use while in college.
From Obama’s 1995 book, Dreams From My Father: (hat tip Liberal Utopia)
I had learned not to care. I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though.
Junkie. Pothead. That’s where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. Except the highs hadn’t been about that, me trying to prove what a down brother I was. Not by then, anyway. I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory. I had discovered that it didn’t make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmate’s sparkling new van, or in the dorm room of some brother you’d met down at the gym, or on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl.
No word yet on whether Obama’s doctor at the time was aware of his drug abuse, but I’ll keep digging.
If you would like to support Joe Wilson for standing up to the president’s lies you can do that HERE.

Arlen Specter Proves He’s A Scumbag
This from Politico:
Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Penn.), who’s looked at POTUS from both sides now, was just on the Bill Press radio show suggesting the South Carolina firebrand Joe Wilson be censured for his heckle heard round the world.
Said the Republican-turned-Dem:
"He apologized immediately afterward but I don’t think that’s adequate… If an apology is the consequence of an outburst I think we can expect more – that’s not a sufficient penalty that’s not a sufficient price to pay.. I’m not saying the guy should be kicked out of the House… But there ought to be some rebuke, reprimand, censure — something that will discourage that kind of conduct in the future. If you do that to the President, it’s open season."
Only in Washington could a sleazy scumbag like Arlen Specter have any credibility left with which to comment on anything ever. Facing a primary defeat against a republican challenger, Specter decided to become a democrat without a second thought.
Arlen Specter is exactly the kind of person you don’t want representing you. He’s the very embodiment of a sleazy politician. He has no core principals or beliefs. His one and only motivation is holding on to power by any means necessary.
This jackass was adamantly opposed to the union card-check legislation when he was a republican. Now that he’s a democrat he turned up at a f*cking union rally on Labor Day with none other than Joe Biden in support of union card check. Are you kidding me?
Are we really supposed to take anything this jerk says seriously? Specter is going to learn all about “rebuke” when the voters of Pennsylvania throw his phony ass out of office.
Conservatives need to OPEN THEIR WALLETS to Joe Wilson. He stood up to the Liar-In-Chief and we need to support him.

Hey Democrats, You Heckled Bush
There’s a lot of phony outrage coming out of democrats and the liberal media over GOP congressman Joe Wilson’s outburst during the president’s speech last night.
Wilson stood up and rightly called Obama a liar when he said illegal aliens won’t be covered under his health plan.
I agree that his outburst was unacceptable and he was right to apologize. He should have waited until the speech was finished, then taken to the airwaves to call him a liar.
President Obama’s chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is wildly spinning the story to the liberal media saying “no president has ever been treated like that” which is of course — absurd.
Democrats treated Bush like shit during multiple State of the Union speeches with loud boos, hisses, and catcalls. So for democrats to be righteously indignant over Wilson’s outburst is laughable.
Here’s what Politico says:
Joe Wilson’s 15 minutes of infamy notwithstanding, Democrats were pretty rough on George W. Bush during a joint sessions a few years back.
Two examples:
In 2004, Democrats delivered a “Chorus Of Boos” during Bush’s Bush’s State Of The Union when he called for renewal of the Patriot Act., according to the Washington Times.
In 2005, Dems howled, hissed and shouted "No!" when Bush pushed for Social Security reform in the SOU: "Foreshadowing the contentiousness of the coming debate, Democrats broke decorum and booed twice," according to the National Journal.
At the time, CNN’s Bill Schneider remarked, “It was unusual. I had never heard it at least at that level before. The Democrats clearly were booing, heckling, saying no when the president talked about the crisis in Social Security."
Politico also confirms Wilson’s claim that Obama is a liar when it comes to illegals being covered:
Moreover, Obama’s claim that illegal immigrants won’t be covered — which sparked Wilson’s outburst — while technically accurate, doesn’t quite tell the entire story. Some of the bills being considered in the House and Senate contain provisions locking in local statutes that prevent providers from inquiring about immigration status prior to treatment. And illegals are treated, and are bound to be treated, in ERs, covered by local, state and federal uninsured pools.
Wilson was right that Obama is a liar, but he picked the wrong place to express it. Democrats on the other hand, have little room to be outraged. They treated Bush like shit and the media said nothing.
Valerie Plame: “I’m not going away”
Outed spy Valerie Plame says she isn’t going away, no matter what the folks at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue want. God help us if that’s true.
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted anyone to go away more than covert, super-spy, 007, Valerie Plame. And her husband too.
Even though we all know Richard Armitage is the one who leaked her identity, Plame and her idiot husband continue to peddle the fantasy that the Bush Administration leaked her identity on purpose.
Richard Armitage leaked her identity in passing because he’s a gossip. As Deputy Secretary of State he was one of the most outspoken critics of the Iraq war and was certainly not considered an ally of the Bush Administration.
Of course, Valerie Plame doesn’t plan to let a little thing like “truth” get in the way of her book sales. She was after all so distraught after her identity became public, she immediately posed with her husband for Vanity Fair.
Valerie Plame and her husband are shameless, phony, publicity whores, and are only taken seriously by far left loones. Their “15 minutes” was up a long time ago, and what a painfully shrill 15 minutes it was.
