Nobody puts Modo in the corner . . . unless there's a fifth of scotch in it. #media

One assumes that she got her invite because like a lot of Americans, Ms Liasson has been the White House staffers' commuter buddy for years #media

I also find it funny how throwing a shoe at one president is good, and interrupting the speech of another one is bad. Of course, of those two, only one is the messiah, so I guess I see it.

Maybe I can help you. They guy who threw the shoe? Not a U.S. Congress member attending a joint session of a legislative body with a 233 year history of civility. The guy who yelled, "You lie?" never lived in a country bombed mercilessly and occupied by an invading army whose leader smugly said his presence was a "going away" present just before the offending shoe was hurled. In fact, the guy who yelled "You lie," was distorting the truth of the situation in order to cynically exploit our treasuring draining healthcare crisis.
It's called context, Sherlock. Get some.

And everything else comes down to the fact that you agree with one of those guys, and disagree with the other one.

Again - Heckling the President in a Joint Session of Congress = BAD.
Throwing a shoe at the President of an occupying nation during war = NOT SO BAD
Alas, I'm sure I'll be posting the same thing next week and hoping that someone will approve this frustrated n00b's comment.

Shoe thrower: A private citizen, not an elected official. A Muslim showing one of the most extreme forms of symbolic contempt that exists in his culture. An aggrieved man protesting the rape and destruction of his country at our hands.
Joe Wilson: NOT A PRIVATE CITIZEN, an elected official, of whom a certain level of civility and decorum is not only expected, but required. An unreconstructed Confederate apologist whose motives had less to do with a disagreement over the President's policy and a lot to do with his aggravation at being spoken to by an uppity negro.

Boy, are you guys glad some dems booed Bush's ridiculous Social Security proposal in 2005. It's all you've got. I'm also glad they booed it, mostly because it would have been insane to put SS dollars into the stock market in 2005.
But go ahead and keep putting an equal sign between everything the two parties do if it makes you happy.

Not well played, Mr. Muntader. Not well played at all.

Pretty dumb, please don't let him come here. I'd hate for him to throw a shoe bomb next time.
