82. Not Just Joe "You Lie" Wilson

Fri Jun 15, 2012, 10:17 PM

Jun 2012

But Samuel Alito with his "not true" at another SOTU address.

And lets not forget Gov. Brewer wagging her finger at Obama at the airport in Arizona. So this isn't just once but at least 4 showings of extreme disrespect.

Can anybody come up with a single time Reagan was shown this type of disrespect? Or even George W. Bush?
