Maybe all of the Pubbies should try this.

I've been wondering whether the whole Wilson "outburst" was really staged.

Congressman from a safe GOP district. Acting "alone" allows not only contrast to be drawn with the general Dem jeering of Bush during SOTUs, but also allows plausible deniability from the rest of the party AND allows RINOs like McLame and Graham to condemn.

And on a very polarizing element of the subject (illegals) where the President, if not lying**, is clearly being extremely duplicitous.

Focus the next day is on the outburst, not on what the President actually said in his speech. Our gaffetastic VP, true to form, opens his mouth on the subject and helps perpetuate the controversy and keeps his own team off-message. DUmmies, etc, flood the coffers of the doomed-to-loose opposition candidate in the Republican's home district.

Even if it wasn't staged, it can be seen as a case study in how to effectively turn the Dem's Alinskyesque-tactics back on them.

(**ok, even IF illegals are explicitly excluded from the plan as enacted, judicial precedent will have the courts allow them in anyways under the same "person vs. citizen" logic that allows illegals access to the public education system.
