In response to "I haven't read/heard about him 'backing away' from the initial apology. My only point is that intentionally or not, those pushing for this censure..." by Dr.Vermin

From what I've read, Pelosi was content to let it die until Wilson played the "i had my fingers crossed when i said that" game.

but again I ask - what great suffering is coming to Wilson out of this? And like it or not, there is a difference between things said in the House and things said in the public realm. This is basic civics.

Responses:

Again, I don't care what happens to Wilson. I'm just agreeing with Guy [twitch] that this is all counter-productive... - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 15:14 4
- The House deals with hundreds of bills a year. Do you want someone yelling out "Liar!" at everyone who makes a speech? - Reagen Sep 15, 15:17 2
  - I see your point, but don't agree that that would be the result of skipping this censure. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 15:22
  - (or, say, look at Taiwan's parliament. Remember those wacky brawls?) -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 15:19
