Here is the problem with this. They didn't admonsih him over
where he was when he jumped up and called the POTUS a liar, they admonsihed him
over
what he said to the POTUS. The democrats are the damn LAST group in this country who should be shaking fingers at what representatives
say to the sitting president or what they call him in public. It was because of them that we already had a discourse in the House regarding "No, you
may not call the president a liar."

"Rep. Mel Watt (D-N.C.) offered a lengthy criticism of Bush’s record toward the end of Thursday’s hearing, which included a statement that
Bush lied about the reasons for going to war with Iraq in 2003," writes Susan Davis. "Rep. Chris Cannon (R-Utah) offered an objection on the grounds
that Watt’s words were 'unparliamentary' and violated House rules on debate and decorum that forbid personal attacks on Members, the president or
vice president."
but curiously, Democrat rep Linda Sanchez rebutted:
"Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee Chairwoman Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.) countered that the words were not 'unparliamentary,' which
parliamentarians and leadership aides on both sides of the aisle later agreed was the wrong procedural call,"
...fast forward to this week. The vote tally:

The times they are a' changing... on BOTH sides of the aisle. As was already said, this "admonsihment" was nothing more than a partisan stunt
aimed at giving Nancy Pelosi something to waggle her turkey neck waddle over on TV.
