It must be a pretty large rock the Daily Intel schmucks have been living under for the past 20 years. What do you think Whitewater, Lewinsky, lies about Al Gore, swift-boat have been about? I guess the real story is that asshole behavior is expected and thus ignored by the Daily Intel types but when a Democrat pushes back, its time for moderation and bipartisanship. Whateva
But if we can wildly speculate for a moment, maybe Wilson’s experience is what Grayson was hoping to emulate. If “You lie!” taught us anything, it’s that in this exceptionally partisan moment, even the most outrageous actions can turn into fund-raising bonanzas and transform a relatively unknown congressman into a hero to the party’s base. Tempered rhetoric and moderate stances just don’t rake in the big bucks these days.
Only Joe Wilson’s “you lie” moment thought you this? Where the fuck you been, bitch?
