Larry O'Connor: '13 of Them'

'13 of Them'
Larry O'Connor

Posted: Mar 04, 2022 3:00 PM

I know I am supposed to be morally outraged and offended at Rep. Lauren Boebert for shouting out at President Joe Biden during this week's State of the Union Address. I know this is expected of me because my moral and intellectual superiors on "Morning Joe" and "The View" have demanded indignation from me over this mortal political sin.

However, in the grand scheme of things, I'm having trouble working much anger up over the freshman congresswoman from Colorado uttering the only acknowledgment of the deaths of 13 brave American service members less than six months ago while they were following the reckless and ill-planned orders of the very Commander-in-Chief who was delivering the barely-coherent speech in the chamber of the House of Representatives.

Oh, I know, I know... "Decorum!" they shout at me. "Respect for the office!" they bellow from their climate-controlled television studios in Manhattan.

I'm sorry, but it's kind of hard for me to muster up grave concern and pearl-clutching shock over a first-term congresswoman "breaking decorum" in the House Chamber with an off-camera, un-amplified statement from her seat on the backbenches while we saw the image of the Speaker of the House of Representatives literally tear up the individual sheets of paper of President Donald Trump's State of the Union speech, on camera, in full display and in complete defiance of the man the office and the constitutionally mandated tradition of the State of the Union address itself.

Agreed.  And said as much the day before Biden's SOTU.

We need the chamber to be more like Britain's Parliament, where somebody might go home with a split lip.   :laugh:

Marjorie Taylor Greene was also criticized for shouting out "Build the Wall" when Biden was lying about supporting stronger border security.  When confronted about it, Greene responded that there was a time when Congress was more like the UK Parliament where lively debate was encouraged.  She also said that Biden belonged in an Assisted Living facility.
