In Missouri, Joe Wilson admits outburst was out of line
Congressman Joe Wilson -- yes, that Congressman Joe Wilson -- told a Springfield audience Saturday that he was "brought up civil."

On that score, he admitted his "You lie" shout at President Obama during his recent congressional address was inappropriate.

"It was brought up possibly the wrong way," Wilson said, drawing laughter from the crowd. Wilson was introduced by Congressman Roy Blunt, the U.S. Senate candidate.

"But the issue has been brought up," he said. "We need to watch them like a hawk."

1. I am so sick of these pigs
being contrite AFTER they did exactly what they wanted to do. They always apologize AFTER they opened the barn door and forced the cows out.

Fruck you Wilson.

2. Joe "the Lie" Wilson knows that if anyone on the Obama scratches their ass
he and his co-horts are watching like vultures (not hawks)......

So I'm not sure why he felt the need to mention that they should do,
what they already do. :shrug:

3. Joe "You Lie" Wilson stumping for Roy Blunt??? On the other hand the only way I would attend
a Bill Nelson event is if Alan Grayson was a guest speaker.

4. That was worse than no apology. Getting his crowd to laugh at his
historic breach of protocol.

Incivility had nothing to do with it. If you think someone's lying, say so. Nothing wrong in that, and he knows it. But hurling that kind of accusation to the President of the United Sates or any other head of state worthy of the name is too pathetic to be even disgraceful. You have to have a value-system worthy of a human-being to be capable of being disgraced.

5. That's exactly what I called him out on.....
.... when I wrote a letter to him that night. I spoke as one Southerner to another saying he had ruined the decorum by the hallowed halls of Congress were known (hyberbole is fun!)

And then I said he had no home training. :)

I bet mine wasnt the only letter like that he received.
