Craig Ferguson Said it So Much Better...

I wrote a gagillion verbose and yet pithy words about the rudeness of Joe Wilson and Eric Cantor during the President's speech to a joint session of Congress on September 9, 2009.  Yesterday the comedy division of Huffington Post (bet you didn't know they have a whole department devoted to comedy) posted Craig Ferguson's monologue from 9/10/09 in which he mused about the rudeness of Joe Wilson during the President's speech.  While he mentioned a few of the same things I raged about in my blog, his monologue about the shout out said in a few minutes what I tried to say only he conveyed it more succinctly and brilliantly.  It's an example of the power of well crafted comedy.  YouTube only has half of the monologue and CBS has commercials.  Click on the photos below and watch the whole 6:49 minutes.  It's well worth it.
