Craig Ferguson Devotes Entire Monologue To Schooling Joe Wilson (VIDEO)

Craig Ferguson, a man who chose to become a U.S. citizen, was ashamed last night at the lack of decorum Representative Joe Wilson showed when shouting, "You lie" at the president during a joint session of Congress.

"I am not getting on Congressman Wilson's case for disagreeing with the president...every congressman has a vote, he should use it, but not in the middle of a speech to the joint sessions of Congress, that's not when you do it. It's not the Jerry Springer Show. You don't stand up in the middle of Congress and go 'oh no you did not.' What the hell is wrong with you? He said his emotions got the better of him--sometimes I want to have sex with a hooker but I don't."

Craig also suggested the president's response to Wilson was boring and that he should take his act on the road to learn how to deal with hecklers.

1. He's pretty damn cool.
I'm impressed with him more and more.

He's also responsible for one of the biggest mindfucks I've ever gotten when I realized he had a role in an episode of Red Dwarf, a show that I've watched hundreds of times without realizing it was Ferguson.

This is Craig is the spiffy duds...

3. Too bad most Republicans don't have Craig's sense of restraint
...sometimes I want to have sex with a hooker but I don't...


But then, what would happen to all our comedy?
