There were a few moments during last night's speech in which Republican members were less than respectful to President Obama, given the usual tradition in this country of deferring to the President during a speech to Congress.
The real star of the night, of course, was Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) who shouted out "You lie!" after Obama said the health care plan would not cover illegal immigrants, and was then himself booed by other House members.

Karen - If you have seen debates in the British House of Commons, you know it can get pretty rowdy, but even there you can't call people a liar, unless you want a suspension from the House.
Holte~ The rethuglism always seems to seep out!
