The election is like a year away, and they're getting this kind of coverage.

Guess more representatives should act like *******s on the floor of Congress on live tv.

Seems the consensus is: don't we want to be more like our cousins across the pond? Their Parliament is a real comedy act.

That always struck me as ironic. I guess the Brits need an outlet somewhere.

About the poll: I was appalled at Wilson's behavior, but honestly, it's only 1 percent. In South Carolina! He'll be re-elected. Unfortunately.

It would have been less "appalling" if more on his side of the aisle had some spine left.

Now, now. Let's not denigrate all of South Carolina voters. Remember, it was a South Carolina City Councilwoman who started the "Fired up! Ready to Go!" chant that helped, well, Fire Up the Obama campaign during the primaries, which helped propel him to victory. And he has re-introduced that story into his current speech about getting health insurance reform enacted.

A blast from the past. . .

G-d bless Councilwoman Charles of Greenwood, S.C.!
