The five-term Republican from South Carolina may have apologized for what is being called his "outburst" but Americans are seeking out more information about Wilson as evidenced by Google trends on Thursday. His name appeared in seventh place among the top 100 as "rep joe wilson south carolina."

Mr. Wilson will be receiving a check from my family in order to keep him in the Congress. We need more people like him, people who call them as they see them.

My congratulations to Mr. Wilson on not only calling out Obama in public, but underlining, bolding and neoning Obama’s prevarications.

It worked for Valerie Plame’s husband when he called W a liar in his chock-full-of-lies WaPo editorial column. Maybe there’s something about the name Joe Wilson.

Please make sure you use the Hugh Hewitt strategy.

Copy your check before you send it.
Send the copy to YOUR rep.
Tell your rep that you will send your money to those with backbones.

The reason is because he wasn’t accusing anybody of anything.

He was telling the truth.

Americans like people who stand up and tell ‘em the way it is.

wish we had more like him.

We should be demanding an apology from BO to Sarah - he, basically, called her a liar. He didn’t NEED to shout it out - he had the microphone.
