Class, manners, civility, court...You're right. Class, manners, civility, courtesy...call it what you will, we see less rather than more of it in today's society. In Joe Wilson's case, though, I think he was genuinely motivated by exasperation. Kanye West, Serena Williams, etc., those people were just being jerks. And to Wilson's credit he called the White House that night and asked to apologize to the President personally, and stated publicly that his outburst was wrong. The next day the President publicly accepted the apology and said we should move on from it (unlike the House leadership). And unlike Kanye, I doubt Wilson will do what he did again, but Kanye will probably always be a jerk.<br /><br />Also, Obama was actually lying (or willfully ignorant), but I won't take up comment space with that :)Ricknoreply@blogger.com
