Yea, the Marxists are running roughshod over the Constitution and we, the Republicans just sit there and worry about civility. Hopeless cowards!

Just saw the aftermath of the speech—Obama looked very, very angry when he was shaking hands with his sycophants.

Repubs are a TRAIN WRECK. Our only hope can lie with a third party candidate. ONLY HOPE.

I don’t see what the problem is. He is apologizing for being rude, not for calling Obama out on a lie.

This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.”

He shouldn't have stated that his comments "were inappropriate and regrettable." He could said "broke Congressional decorum, or "weren't civil", or "were interrupting". He could have cleared things further by saying "Obama's claim that HR3200 will not provide healthcare to illegals is a lie because there is no enforcement language in the bill."

Wilson's apology will be used by the hypocrit left to bash Republicans for being uncivil, but his comment helped ruin Obama's crappy speech even more and harmed chances of HR3200! He's also improved his name recognition for a higher office and renewed anger toward the RINO John McCain who pressured him. He may get some airtime where he can clarify what he really is apologizing for. I guess in the end, we still came out ahead.

No, Joe, someone had to holler "The emperor is buckassed naked!", or we'll be stuck with that fashion sense for a couple more seasons...

Sometimes, civility just won't git 'er done.

Thank you email to Joe Wilson

I emailed Wilson a "thank you" for speaking up for the rest of us. I used a Myrtle Beach zip code (29578 plus 2615) so the email would hopefully get to him.

At Bush's 2006 State of the Union speech, Democrats interrupted his speech to applaud and cheer their obstruction of Bush's proposal to reform Social Security.

Fast-forward to about 45:50 to see it. And at 46:05, take careful note of who you see in the lower left corner of the frame.

Hint: he didn't vote "present" this time.

Mr. Wilson should have just stated that he should have calibrated his words more carefully.
