Joe Wilson has been painted by the LibDems and the MSM as some unhinged nut. If you've watched him lately, he's obviously not.
Personally, I don't agree with what he did, but I understand his passion and the outburst.
I kinda like the guy!
UPDATE: In a world-class moment of manufactured outrage, The House has passed a resolution of disapproval of Wilson's action.
On a largely party-line vote, the House voted 240 to 179 to ratify a “resolution of disapproval” against Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) for interrupting Obama’s speech last week before a joint session of Congress. Just 12 Democrats opposed the resolution against Wilson, while seven Republicans supported the disapproval motion. Five Democrats voted “present,” rather than cast a yes or no vote.
During the hour-long debate, Wilson refused to apologize, saying his private phone call to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was sufficient because Obama himself said the matter was closed the day after his speech.
“It is clear to the American people that there are far more important issues than what we are dealing with now. . . . [Obama] graciously accepted my apology, and this issue is over,” Wilson said in brief remarks.
