Draft Joe Wilson?

[Pauls' Revere]

I don't know his voting record but if congress proceeds to "ADMONISH" him should we draft him. At least he spoke up during the speech.

While not a formal censure or reprimand, the resolution, if passed as expected, would put Congress on record as condemning Wilson's conduct.

Wilson, who was criticized by Republicans and Democrats for his outburst, told Obama he was sorry shortly after the incident Wednesday night. But he has refused requests from both parties to apologize on the House floor. Wilson's office says the congressman considers his initial apology sufficient

Although not during a speech Harry Reid called Bush a liar and he was right. Guess we should "Admonish" him as well.

Reid also sings the praises of some on the other side of the aisle: "The Republicans who signed that [filibuster] agreement, we should put up a statue to them someplace."

Most likely to cause a stir, however, is an exchange that concludes the interview:

RS: You've called Bush a loser.

HR: And a liar.

RS: You apologized for the loser comment.

HR: But never for the liar, have I?

seems petty, perhaps it is...but should we get Wilson onboard?

He votes for neocon things. He sucks. Calling Soetoro a liar was his moment of brilliance. And then he weaseled and groveled and apologized.

Not our man.

Looks like Wilson picked up $200.000 in constributions immediately after the "liar" comment.

Unfortunately for him, his opponent Miller, who had only $57,000 previously now suddenly has a million.

Looks like Mr. Wilson has had his "Dean" moment.

Voting record for Wilson:

[CaseyJones]

"With a political arms race in full force, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) has raised almost $750,000 in less than 48 hours since his shout of "You lie!" to President Obama during the Wednesday address to Congress, almost matching the Internet-fueled haul of his likely Democratic opponent."
