I Vote to Commend the Vote to Reprimand

I’ve just head the greatest news all year.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted 240-179 to reprimand Rep. Joe Wilson on Sept. 15 after his verbal bashing of Obama’s speech, calling the president a liar.
Now, many of his fellow representatives and other Democrats had already called him out, but something else needed to be done.
And boy did it get done!
They actually voted!
This vote did the wonderful thing of officially reprimanding Wilson, something that could not be done without the vote.
Yeah, they could have just unofficially whacked him in the nose with a newspaper, saying “No! No! Bad Republican! You don’t do that in the House!”
Too bad they can’t do that for real.
But, there is a distinct difference between on official and an unofficial action: it’s official.
This is a brilliant move by the Democrats, taking up time, effort, and taxpayer money to tell off their fellow representative.
It definitely shows that the Democrats aren’t whiny babies.
This grand maneuvering was perfect to show that the Democrats want what’s best for the citizens of the U.S.
Now they need to vote on something the public really cares about.
They need to vote to reprimand Kanye West.
After all, more people were upset by West’s actions than Wilson’s.
Well, I guess that Jay Leno already took care of that.
Then, the House should bring Wilson’s mother in on his reprimand; who can punish a child better than a mother?
Anyway, I’m just happy our elected officials took the time out of their busy schedules—with so many important issues, problems, and decisions to be taken care of—to slap Wilson on the wrist.
I’m sure singling this troublemaker out and telling him off will solve all of their partisan problems.
After all, nothing says unity like one side ganging up on the other.
What else could bi-partisan mean?
