Wake Me Up When September Ends

Well, it seems like we've reached the point when it's become clear that this month (or last week, really) will be remembered for public rudeness and lack of civility.

First, last Wednesday, Joe Wilson (the South Carolina douchebag, not Valerie Plame's husband) shouted "You lie"during Obama's speech to the joint session of Congress.

Then, Saturday, the increasingly ill-named Serena Williams screamed at a lineswoman that she would "fucking shove this fucking ball down your throat."

Finally, Kanye decided it was a good idea to get on stage and interrupt 19-year-old Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video and proclaim that the nominated video by Beyoncé was "one of the best videos of all time."

In fairness, this didn't come out of nowhere. It's just continuing a long summer of crazy teabaggers and town hall screamers, so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. I don't think there's any need to comment any further on any of the events - it's all already been said in the media - except maybe to wonder who will be next? Ellen Degeneres flipping off Simon? A leaked YouTube clip of Tom Brady furiously berating Gisele "You told me you were on the pill! I can't have a baby during playoffs!!!"
