When Rep Joe Wilson (R-SC) called out PresBo regarding coverage for illegal aliens, he was castigated for his breach of etiquette. While that may or may not have been correct, the substance of his brief critique was apparently spot on: " H.R. 3962 would deliberately permit illegal aliens to participate in the government health insurance exchange and in the public option insurance program ."...

When Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina made his infamous "You lie!" outburst during the president's healthcare address to Congress in September, he wasn't the only one stepping into the spotlight. The next day, an Austin startup called Piryx set up a Web site to facilitate donations to Wilson.
Timothy Noah has a nice writeup in Slate about the latest paean to anti-immigration crusaders. Joe Wilson and the like have forced into the health care bill the now-regular inclusion to any bill providing a government service the adjoiner “…but illegal immigrants absolutely positively can’t have it.” Which is curious for two reasons. [...]
This weekend, the Senate voted to open up debate on health care reform. Now is a critical time and with the possibility of compromises ahead, we want to make sure that immigrant inclusion is a part of any reform bill that goes to vote. After the infamous Joe Wilson outburst last month, immigration has yet again [...]
Well, it's better than all that. The Senate got 60 votes to proceed to debate on health care, although 4 of those votes (Landrieu, Nelson, Lieberman, Lincoln) were votes to begin debate, not votes to approve the current state of the bill. Three of these have threatened to filibuster the final bill if it contains a public option, although all but Lieberman have been more cagey in their statements. Snowe...
Senator McCain could be in a tough battle for the Republican nomination next year, however, if a tough battle does occur, I would expect Sarah Palin to come to his aid. Apparently most Conservative bloggers have the same feelings as I do, and some are writing if Palin supports McCain in the Arizona United States Senate GOP primary, it would be the same as supporting Scozzafava in New York's 23rd congressional...
Giuliani makes Scozzafava look like Taki. But last time, Hoffman held to the line of Bush and the Club For Growth on immigration. And he held to the line of Bush and Palin on war, including the "War On Terror". Has he learned the lesson? Capitalism and its wars not only are not conservative, but nor do they deliver the votes. So perhaps, in the state that returned James L Buckley to the Senate...
In his Sept. 9 speech to Congress on health care, when President Obama said, "The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally," Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shot back: "You lie!" What Obama meant was that health care reform would not extend government subsidies to illegal aliens to purchase health insurance. What Wilson meant was that health care reform would...
When Joe Wilson shouted “You lie!” at President Obama earlier this year, it offended many of his colleagues in Congress, who sought a way to express their displeasure. But they didn’t warn or rebuke Wilson; no, they "admonished" him, and news reports about it sent millions running for their trusty dictionaries to find out what on earth the word meant.

Poor choice of shoes for a morning walking all over creation/the Hill. I did, however, see Congressman Joe Wilson at the hearing I was attending but restrained myself, although it required a herculean effort, and did not shout out “YOU LIE!” during his remarks.
When the U.S. House admonished Rep. Joe Wilson for shouting "You lie!" at President Barack Obama during a health care speech to Congress, it not only lit up talk show lines, but also sent many people scurrying to the Internet in search of a definition.

As long as there have been Presidents, there has been controversial chatter about their abilities and agendas. Even after a President finishes their term, they remain in the public eye for the rest of their lives. Former Presidents make millions giving speeches after they leave office, because people continue to hold them in the highest regard. To give you a clue on just how much income former Presidents...
