While Maegen covers all the serious parts of last night’s speech, I will study the gossipy hissy fits on display for the world to see.
The following is a statement released by Joe Wilson of South Carolina–the same man who yelled “YOU LIE” at Obama during his speech last night.
The reason he yelled? Obama stated that the health care package on the table right now would NOT cover “illegal aliens.”
I tried to do research on what Joe Wilson’s voting record and time in office has been like…and it was impossible. Pretty much every site I went to that was *reputable* (as opposed to the thousands of nativist sites congratulating Wilson) is down. What *is* known is that Wilson’s Democratic challenger, Rob Miller, has recieved thousands of dollars of donations since the outburst. And frankly, with Wilson starting off his apology by declaring he is doing it because Republican leaders asked him too–I only see things getting worse for him.
