    Heckle like Heck!

    Mark Korshak explains why political heckling might actually be a good thing for politics...

     

         Congressman Wilson's "you lie" outburst was disrespectful, but maybe politics needs a little more Hollywood style drama...The American public wants to be entertained, but at the end of the day, the congressman probably drew more people into the Health Care debate and that's a good thing.

               If you think Representative Wilson's statement was offensive, watch British politician, Nick Clegg, call Prime Minister Gordon Brown “stupid”:

         This actually happens all the time in the UK. Every week members of the House of Commons grill their leader in a session called Prime Minister Questions, and it’s always entertaining. If we had a similar forum in America, a lot more people would tune into politics.

     

    So keep heckling congressman...
