Speaker Nancy Pelosi has agreed the House should vote next week on scolding Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) for his outburst during President Barack Obama's speech unless he apologies on the floor of the House.
"There was a violation of the rules of the House," said Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly. "It needs to be resolved by an apology or a resolution."
A Democrat will introduce a "resolution of disapproval" Monday or Tuesday unless Wilson formally apologizes on the House floor. The House returns Monday.
Wilson shouted "You lie!" Wednesday night during Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress, after Obama said his health care plan would not cover illegal immigrants.
Wilson apologized Wednesday evening and, on Thursday, Obama said he accepted Wilson’s apology.
Wilson spokesman Ryan Murphy indicated the congressman will not apologize on the House floor.
Murphy told the Associated Press Wilson "apologized to the president and the president accepted and said let's move on and have a civil discourse, and the congressman agrees."
Several House leaders and many rank-and-file Democrats pushed Thursday for some sanction against Wilson. Pelosi (D-Calif.) knocked down the idea, saying it would distract Congress from its work on healthcare.

What does that mean in concrete terms? Is he being kicked out of the house? Does he take a pay cut or lose seniority?
If none of the above, I suggest that he let them do it and laugh at him. Heck Gerry Studds was censured for having sex with a male page, which to anyone with any common decency is a lot more serious than calling a liar a liar, and the only thing it cost him was a subcommittee chair.
I suggest that Wilson stand right in front of them while they read the censure notice, smile and then give Pelosi the Hawaiian good luck sign.
These people not only are acting like kids they have also become insane kids. Guess this will teach all the other republicans to straigten up and act right. Just wait until ya’ll lose majorities in 2010....maybe by that time the Republicans will have enough balls to get even.
Great idea!!!
Good. If San Fran Nancy wants to make Wilson into a sideshow, then it will be less time for the House to work on ObamaCare.
Ummm, we are reaching the point where we BETTER get ready to be rude, crude and even aggressive if we are going to prevent the coup that is happening right as we speak. Scold away!
Someone needs to tell her, in the words of Edmund Blackadder, to “fornicate off.”
I could never get into politics...
Pelosi praised Gandhi for his acts of civil disobedience. She should praise Wilson for doing the same.
So tell me...Is there any actual ramifications from what Nazi Pelosi and the rest of her Nancy Boys are planning...
other than an official Nastygram from the party of screetching, protesting, Code Pinko, ACORN, Perez Hilton, Cindy “ Ghoul of 60’s Past” Sheehan, America is Lost!, beasts of perverion and piggery?
So let’s drag the bitch out from behind the speaker’s lecturn and insist she apologize for calling Americans at tea parties nazis.
Go ahead, Nancy, it will help with the fund raising!
The Democratic Party = Communist Party
As we used to say when I was a bill collector years ago, “Go out and procreate alone (a loan).”
Source? I hadn’t heard that.
Uh, Nasty Nancy, he ALREADY DID apologize and, according to Rahm Emanuel, the president accepted it you imbecile!
So Nancy, what are you going to do about Obama lying to a joint session of Congress? It was one lie after another.
I wish Wilson would request some floor time to “apologize for his outburst”, and then when he stands before all, he should apologize for the outburst, but stand by his statement... and then go further by listing as many lies from that speech that he has time for.
Would just love to see that on YouTube.
LOL!
