I was actually amused by the whole "You Lie" affair. Like most Americans I was watching "So you Think You Can Dance!" at the time of the speech. When I heard about the interruption I thought the President had said something no one expected like, "No public option". I immediately envisioned the Democratic legislators rising and shouting in anger, "Bush-Hitler!" Oops! My bad! My bad! When I heard that an obscure Republican congressman yelled, "You lie!", I was disappointed. Republicans are notoriously bad at theatrics. Joe should have at least thrown a shoe at the President. Considering the President’s basketball skills I have no doubt he would have avoided the shoe and could then proceed to taunt his opponent with a victory dance. In a moment of political unity both legislators from both parties would then rise and start jiving to "You Bad! You Bad!" Now that’s entertainment!
