I was thinking of writing a nasty memo to Joe Wilson, the asshole Representative from South Carolina, but I figured a vent here is just fine. When I heard him blurt out to President Obama, "You lie" I thought it was some kind of outsider, not someone from Congress. I've figured this political whore out. He saw all the press coverage the town hall astro turfers were getting so he thought he'd seize the moment and really make some political hay in the biggest town hall of them all.
South Carolina, you can be proud of this warmed over turd.

The following is a partial list of his accomplishments:
Wilson was born in Charleston, South Carolina, to Hugh de Veaux Wilson and Wray Graves Wilson.
He was active in South Carolina Republican politics from a young age, participating in his first Republican campaign in 1962. As a teenager he joined the campaign of Congressman Floyd Spence, later working as an aide to Senator Strom Thurmond.
Wilson obtained a bachelor's degree from Washington and Lee University in 1969, obtained a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1972, worked as a real estate attorney, and co-founded the law firm Kirkland, Wilson, Moore, Taylor & Thomas[1] in West Columbia, where he practiced for over 25 years. Wilson was also a Judge in Springdale.
From 1972 to 1975, Wilson served in the United States Army Reserve, and then as a Staff Judge Advocate in the South Carolina Army National Guard assigned to the 218th Mechanized Infantry Brigade until retiring from military service as a Colonel in 2003.
In 1981 and 1982, during the Reagan Administration, Wilson served as Deputy General Counsel for former Governor Jim Edwards at the U.S. Department of Energy.
Wilson was elected to the South Carolina Senate in 1984 as a Republican from Lexington County, and never missed a statutory session in 17 years.[citation needed] After the Republicans gained control of the chamber in 1996, he became the first Republican to serve as Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee. Wilson was a member of the Columbia College Board of Visitors and Coker College Board of Trustees.

To think that a person with such experience would commit an egregious error in judgment as this is unthinkable. He's an opportunistic political whore who certainly would have claimed all of the glory for such a despicable display of bad manners if only his cohorts would have gone along.
He contritely called the White House last night and apologized only because he didn't get away with it and not because he felt bad that his actions had been in poor taste. He's a racist just like all of the birthers and death panelists are. Joe, I despise every sinew, every drop of blood and every hair on your head ( btw I don't see too many on that comb over dome of yours).
"Say it ain't so, Joe" was a banner headline in 1919 about the infamous Chicago Black Sox betting scandal. The asshole Joe I'm writing about collects a bunch of health benefits and salaried tax money from the United States Government and then turns around and rants about how corrupt DC is. Raw Story points out that, "Among Wilson’s top contributors are the American Hospital Association, a lobby group that represents the interests of hospitals and health networks, and the American Medical Association, which represents physicians."
Joe, you have a great gig...... please say it ain't so.
