The manufactured poutrage machine.

Is there any doubt that, if the situations were reversed, and it was a Democratic Congressman who had interrupted a GOP president's speech, that the entire GOP Congressional caucus would be on every talk show known to man the next day demanding apologies and dialing up the demagoguery in order to try and call Democrats "un-American"?

Things like this really bother me. Republicans play the political game much better than Democrats ever will, and as such can get away with much more. If the situations were reversed, Drudge, Rush and Hannity would have sent the red-alert out to every one of their sheeple and we would have had non-stop coverage on all the major networks.

4. The Repukes would have been censuring that fictional Dem right now

They'd be seriously using it as an excuse to get the person out of office.

Nonsupport of President in time of war, you know.

He would be in jail by now, something to do with terra.

5. Republicans don't play the game any better than Dems...

...unless you're referring to the larger corporate game, in which Republicans are the more eager whores. They are propped up by the media, and always show themselves to be less able political players.
