Did I defend him? No ... I, in fact, stated it was an "incredibly stupid outburst by Wilson." There was no defense given.

What's your definition of shout? If you say no one previously has shouted down a President, then obviously you're excusing the loud chorus/shout of "boo" that W had to deal with, from the Dems, during his speeches to Congress. That DID happen. It was just as disruptive and rude as Wilson's stupid outburst.

The only thing that separates Wilson's outburst from the Dem's is Wilson broke a House rule specifically forbidding members of Congress from calling the President a liar, or saying the President lies, etc.

What a shame that the driveby media forgot to mention how Conservatives just saved DC tons of Cash and Trash!

I missed two days of work because the crowds were so big in DC for the Obama swearing in. For Obama there were people who couldn't get on the mall. That was clearly not the case here. I have been to a number of large events in DC, but I didn't go near the Inauguration. Bleachers lined Pennsylvania Ave. allowing for more people than normal on the sidewalks and the mall was packed out completely.
