It was a pretty stupid *** thing to say, but he also has a point that the House probably could've used their time a bit more constructively seeing as what is happening in our country. Amusing nonetheless

I don't agree with what he did, but what is a "resolution of disapproval" supposed to do? Hurt his feelings?

I look at how organized and formal the House of reps. in the US is, and compare it to the whacky shenanigans that goes on in the Australian parliment, (especialy during question time, at times, it seems like the speaker (the guy who moderates question time) is a teacher in a rowdy classroom) and all I can do is laugh at the absolute uproar that ocurs when something like this happens.

Yeah, is he still in the mental hospital? I'll be glad when they finally quit with the hallucinations, they were getting a little horror-movie-ish for me.

Why do [certain people] have to turn everything into a racial thing? He didn't say "You lie BLACKIE!" or "You lie NEGRO!". He said "You lie!", from one bloated politician to another. Race had nothing to do with it.

Too bad Arnold wasn't the Republican who shouted "YOU LIE!" He's awesome at saying that line. Cast in point at 1:03.
