sounds like those 'strongly worded letters' that we saw so much of in the Bush years.

Addison Wilson (There's only *one* Joe Wilson to me, and it's Joseph P Wilson) is gonna take this resolution to the bathroom and wipe himself with it, for all this will stop him...

It's one thing to call the WH and apologize for being a jerk but when you turn around and keep claiming you were right, the president is lying, in the face of all available evidence to the contrary you deserve censure. Let's have an up or down vote and make Republicans choose. Stand with Wilson and his demonstrably false assertions or stand with the House's own rules and the truth.

Wilson will wear his scarlet letter with great pride, I'm sure, so I question the wisdom of pinning it on him. But it would be interesting to see how the Repubes vote.

Wilson made an apology of sorts to the President, but he also committed an offense against his colleagues in the Congress, and should apologize, again, this time to them. Also, as Markg8 said above, he may have choked an apology to the President, but has refused to change his tune, and continues to repeat the lie claim. It's a shame what this country has come to, and the price we are paying, as a result.

The course of action the Republicans should take is very clear: they should vote on this admonition as they would have voted, and would have expected others to vote, if a Democratic Representative had behaved in similar fashion toward President Bush. If they don't, they should be asked whether they are saying that the next Republican president should expect similar treatment.

Was it just me, or did the guys sitting on both sides of Wilson look like Pug clones?

IMO, apologizing to Emmannuel is not the same thing as apologizinge to Obama. I have a feeling apologizing to a individual with African blood is something Wilson has never done in his life
