Joe Wilson - my new hero

Three cheers for Joe Wilson!


Update: it appears that Joe Wilson will NOT be apologizing on the House floor. Good for him! He shouldn't have to. Why should someone apologize for something that they do not feel they did in error? When I offend someone, I don't apologize if I feel no remorse for the thing I did, or if I feel I was not in the wrong. Furthermore, I think that more of this style of heckling should be allowed. Imagine if it were socially acceptable to heckle George Bush during his "The Surge" speech? What if Senator Clinton had yelled out "You lie!" when Bush said that he needed additional troops in Iraq? I think that sort of thing ought to be praised.

Good for you, Joe. And please, don't apologize. You acted according to your convictions, and by your act we know just how passionate you are about this.
