"GOP paved the way for Joe 'You Lie' Wilson's reprimand"
When Joe Wilson yelled those now infamous two words, I was looking for some historical context. Again, I have never seen a member of Congress yell during a Presidential address to a Joint Session of Congress---even though I wanted someone to tell Bush he was lying because that is exactly what he was doing.
According to Politico (not the most Democrat friendly site) says that the GOP has reprimanded Democrats during Reagan's presidency. What happened to Joe Wilson has origins in what happened to Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and former Rep. Jim Traficant (D-Ohio).
