More about Joe Wilson, from wikipedia:
In September 2002, during a debate on the possibility of going to war in Iraq, Wilson called Congressman Bob Filner "viscerally anti-American" and claimed that he had a "hatred of America" after Filner suggested the United States supplied chemical and biological weapons to Saddam Hussein. Wilson said later that he didn't intend to insult Filner.[4]
"Lie" shouted by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC)

Am I the only one who giggled that all the sitting-grim people were, to a person, old white guys?
I notice that the Dem side was so vibrant looking and the Repub shots were all white guys with colorful ties.
And #badcongressman is already a trending topic on Twitter.

I expect Palin/Wilson unless we catch him with a live boy or a dead girl.

The Boy had a board meeting tonight and missed the speech, and he just called while driving home. The following conversation ensued:
Me: "A Congressman actually HECKLED the president!"
The Boy: "...did Rahm Emanuel punch him in the face?"
Me: "Regarding the 'death panels,' Obama surprised everyone by killing and eating an elderly person on camera."
The Boy: "I would have thought John McCain was too stringy to eat raw."

Nah. McCain's been marinating in bitterness since the sixties.
He's just...tart.
