Joe Wilson and the Rude Crew

With Joe Wilson, Serena Williams, and Kanye West all acting up, it made for an interesting week. I have to say that I found both Williams and West to be idiots for their behavior. Williams was the worst by far. Kanye wasn't too far behind, although his apology with Jay Leno was by far the most sincere celebrity apology I've ever seen. We'll see if it changes his behavior, because in my book he's still one of the most annoying celebrities.

I really want to talk about Mr. Wilson. Although his comment is considered rude by many, I liked it. He may have been incorrect in his assessment. From what I understand, the bill doesn't include provisions for illegal aliens. That would make Wilson incorrect, though I doubt illegal aliens would be turned away. We'll in effect pay for them as we do now. What I like is the spice Wilson added to congress. Can you imagine what it would have been like if Bush had been challenged like that? It reminds me of the british government where the Prime Minister has to answer to the parliament. Our presidents need to be challenged the same way. It's part show and entertainment in Britain, but I'd like to see the Congress and Senate face the president with criticism and cat-calls. I doubt Bush would have been re-elected if he had the face this kind of crowd.

Here's to you Joe Wilson. Just get the rest of your colleagues on board, then we're talking. This may be an area where Kanye is well suited.
