Clyburn: Joe Wilson an Embarrassment to South Carolina

House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn slammed fellow South Carolinian Joe Wilson for the Republican's outburst at President Barack Obama during his address on health care.

"Lie! You lie!" Wilson shouted at the president during a passage of the speech in which the president said illegal immigrants would not be covered by his health care plans.

Clyburn said the episode was as disgraceful -- if not more -- as Gov. Mark Sanford's revelation that he traveled to Argentina to conduct an extramarital affair when state officials believed he was on vacation in the nearby Appalachian Mountains.

"I thought he had embarrassed us as much as we could be embarrassed. But to have a congressman use the floor of the House of Representatives in a joint session to insult the president the way Joe Wilson did is as embarrassing as anything anyone could think of," House Majority Whip James E.Clyburn, D-S.C., said. "Our state can do without this."
