I could cite a zillion examples of lack of decorum, including those Drew
cited in an email recently...(I personally think making fun of a
candidate's haircut or clothing is also in poor taste and fits the
category), but here we go again. IMO, President Obama needs to put a
hiatus on the attack on Wilson. Now that the shoe in in the other
mouth, perhaps he will...

The President's comment was, apparently, off-the-record. Obviously he still said it where reporters could hear, so it was a poor choice of words. Serena Williams, Kanye West, Joe Wilson seem to have impulse control problems, as do so many people in the world today. The worst part, to me, is that a lot of people seem to think it's OK, or even good, to be rude. I wonder if the attention they are getting will only encourage more of the bad behavior....from what I read, this isn't the first time Kanye West has done some rude thing, and it only gets him more publicity.

This country definitely needs a refresher course in decorum...

Absolutely.
