Let's make Joe Wilson's day: From now on, he's the "Kanye West" of Congressmen.

Considering he's so fond of members of the African American community, I'm sure he'll love the comparison.

4. Last night he yanked the microphone out of a Taylor Swift's hand after she won the VMA award and

told the audience that Beyonce deserved to win instead. Taylor Swift is 19.

Here's a link to the story:

Beyonce won another award later in the night and invited Taylor to come back to the stage and finish her acceptance speech. She's a class act for sure.

8. The lack of civility and respect is really starting to piss me off.My 9 year old has better manners.

Joe Wilson and Kanye West are cut from the same cloth.

3. Kanye's excuse was he was drinking Henny all night.

WTF is Wilson's excuse? Both are assholes, but I think Wilson trumps Kanye in that department. It's one thing to misbehave on a silly awards show, and quite another to heckle the duly elected President of these United States during a very serious speech on health care to a Joint Session of Congress. You just don't do that. Wilson wins the 'Asshole' award this time. Even Kanye West is better than that asshat, idiot, lying racist piece of shit.

It is interesting that Taylor Swift is a Country Music artist. Association? The South. Racism. Teabaggers. Discrimination. I honestly think Kanye's reaction, as inexcusable as it was, might have something to do with the current political climate in this country. If I were African American, I'd be really fucking nervous these days. Here we have an exemplary President, and he is being treated like shit by a select group of Americans. I'm white and I'm nervous, because I see how the racism from scared, idiotic white people is just oozing out of the woodwork, especially since that Palin character opened Pandora's box on demonizing people during her rallies (God I hate that bitch). I really do think his action last night may have had something to do with all the shit that's been going down since President Obama was elected.

9. I don't know whether he had been drinking, I don't know if Joe Wilson was drinking. Doesn't matter.

Both think they're opinions trump the rights of others and the rules of decorum.

11. Add Serena Williams

to the list of the rude and the uncouth. However did we get to this point where the lack of civility and common courtesy have become acceptable???
