Addison Graves Wilson, Sr…aka Joe Wilson…the esteemed congressman from the 2nd Congressional District of South Carolina. Congressman Wilson yelled to The Anointed One “you lie!” when Barak “voting present” Obama said that the health car reform proposed by the Democrat Party would not serve illegal aliens.
Later Congressman Wilson would apologize for being “uncivil”.
As a retired SJA this is a fine point. COL Wilson is apologizing for the manner and not the content of the message. Good for him.
I’d give you an email to contact him with an “atta boy” but all of his sites are being flooded. One presumes by the Left Wing Reaction Squads.
Until the proposed legislation has explicit language which forbids illegal aliens from getting Federal health care I’m not buying it either.
UPDATE:
CNN provides the text of Wilson’s apology:
“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.”
Well done, Councilor Wilson.
UPDATE II: Capt Ed posts excerpts from a Congressional Research Service report which flatly states there is no enforcement provision.
