More on childish behavior

A letter in the New York Times evoked a satisfying fantasy:
It would have been audacious but, nevertheless, a teaching moment had President Obama called Representative Joe Wilson, who heckled him during his address to Congress, to the well, like a teacher calling an errant child to the front of the class, asked him his name, asked him what state he came from, asked him to repeat his remark, asked him to explain why he called him a liar, straightened him out, then told him to sit down.
. Richard Rosenthal, New York.
Wouldn't that have been lover-ly?
