After Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) rejected Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s ultimatum to offer a mea culpa on the floor of the House for his outburst during President Barack Obama’s address on Wednesday evening or face a formal admonishment, Democratic leaders are now moving to introduce a resolution to censure Wilson. But Republican responses to the pending censure might explain why some prescient Democrats, perhaps guilty of similar actions under the last administration, were uneasy with assuming the role of disciplinarian: several key Democrats are weathering their own controversies, including Reps.

Obama apparently called Kanye West a jackass for his VMA Award show behavior where he grandstanded during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for best video. Supposedly, it was an off the record remark and apologies are flying all over the place now. Here is more from Politico. Although it wasn’t long before Moran removed it, with over a million followers, the tweet quickly bounced around Twitter through various users.

I ask the question in response to a Tweet from Terry Moran of ABC News that President Barack Obama called Kanye West a “jackass” after his silly and rude antics at the MTV Video Music Awards last night.

Consider the following: • Cap-and-trade legislation had to limp over the finish line in the House of Representatives with the help of a few moderate Republicans, who then caught holy unshirted hell from their constituents. Environmental legislation generally has taken a drubbing in public opinion polls when people consider how costly it is.
