JOE WILSON, AMERICA’S MOST PROMISING NEW INTERNET MEME, HAS APOLOGIZED FOR BEING SO SHOUTY AND WEIRD: “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.” Google has already shut this human down until further notice. [CNN]

I’m guessing that Wilson’s family tree don’t fork too much.
“This site is down for maintenance. Please check back again soon. Ewe Laaaaaaaah!”
He was then put into time-out by his Montessori school teacher.
“I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility”
YOU LIE!!!
CNN had the greatest split image of Wilson and Obama giving Wilson the look – and what a look it was! It looked like Obama was going to go medieval on Wilson’s ass.
Also, how fail are the Republicans that the only thing they can do now is yell “liar!” after being stated a fact?
“The earth is round!” “You lie!”
“1 + 1 = 2!” “You lie!”
Epic fail, Republicans. Epic, epic fail.
JW hates him some Messicans. That is all.

Dear soon-to-be-former Congressperson Wilson:
Feel free to belly up to a large steaming platter of lightly salted andenhanced with zatar, sumac, and epazote deep-fat fried poisoned Norwegian wharf rat dicks. And I apologize in advance for my lack of civility.
Y’r ob’t,
queeraselvis v 2.0
He disagrees with the president’s statement. How can you disagree with a fact?
He should apologize for besmirching the good name of the other Joe Wilson.
hey joe, have you checked your inbox this morning?
http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/3807/writetorepresentativejo.png
If accused of being crude or snide, remember the Southern Rule: any insult is fair game if followed by “bless his heart”.
His family tree don’t fork at all, bless his heart
He’s a clueless douchebag, bless his heart
I hope he resigns, loses his house and has to live on possum and armadillo, bless his heart.
First the yellowcake, now this. Can’t he get along with any of the presidents?
Glenn Beck calls Wilson a hero in 3 . . . 2 . . .
[re=407528]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: mmm…zatar.
Don’t forget to write to Joe every day for the rest of his life:

Someone needs to check the hormone levels in SC water. Those boys seem to be on an emotional hair-trigger like nothing I have seen since I was a 13 year old at an all girls boarding school. Or maybe that’s just inbreeding at work?
He only apologized for his lack of civility- what about apologizing for being a dumb a-hole?
“While I disagree with the President’s statement…”
I think that sums it up; the GOP disagrees with verifiable facts.
[re=407518]ManchuCandidate[/re]: I think there’s a bunch of spoons, a few corkscrews, and one of those pasta-grabber thingies on it. Oh, and a pork rind.
He needs to be locked up with the Sacramento Spooge Monster.
I say Mr. Obama bites off Joe “The Liar” Wilson’s little finger and they’re even…
I have dispatched ten battalions of armored rat dick straight to Wilsons tourettish mouth. Perhaps this is why?
A member of Congress from South Carolina was uncivil? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_Brooks
Yall stop picking Addie Wilson like that. He was just flashing back to the good ol’ days. There was a black man standing up on a platform surrounded by white men, everybody says he shouted “LIAR” but if you listen to the audio it’s perfectly clear he was shouting “buy ‘er”, bless his heart.
It could happen to any southern congress critter, ya’ll need to stop being such spoil sports.
They are GameCOCKS fer fuck sakes.
While I disagree with the President’s statement, because I’m illiterate and everything I know about this bill I learned from Glenn Beck, on my teevee . . .
Jebeesus H. Note to congresscritters: YOU are in positions of power. I know, I know. Shocking to us all how in the hell some of you got there, but still, here we are. YOU are in positions of power. The rest of America would really f*cking appreciate it if you took a few hours of the day to get even the slightest clue about what you are doing with that power. Instead, when you act like schoolchildren, we can only assume you are intellectually incapable of grasping the position you are in and that gives the rest of us a serious sad, because you are in jerrymandered districts full of olds and people who take marching orders from Young Earthers and are hence hopeless.
[re=407520]norbizness[/re]: South Carolina couldn’t possibly allow such socialist, progressive educational institution as a Montessori school. It sounds French on top of everything else.
[re=407536]oldguy[/re]: I just wrote to him (politely, but pointing out he was flat out wrong and disrespectful) but it will be ignored because I am not a constituent. Any non-SC mail will be filtered, I bet.
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/09/wilson-apologizes-for-calling-obama-liar-during-speech.php
Teh dingleberry called the White House to apologize to Obama directly. Instead he ended up speaking to Rahm Emanuel
Shortest conversation on record:
Rahm “Swim with the fishes”
He needs him some good fuqeing from a California lobbyist to shed his rage and mellow him out, bless his heart.
Richard Nixon got plenty of mileage out of outrageous anti-establishment behavior and rhetoric (“pigs” etc).
I’ll bet this infantile outburst, and the hysterical opposition to Obama’s stay-in-school speech, will have a similar effect.
Most people are not amused.
What does Steve Spurrier think about this?
“Joe” isn’t even that asshole’s real name. His real name is “Addison Graves Wilson, Sr.” which is gay, of course.
It’s people like South Carolina that give Joe Wilson a bad name.
If only he had just thrown a shoe or something…
[re=407549]Doglessliberal[/re]:
I used the address and phone number of the Barnwell SC Chamber of Commerce just in case they were filtering out-of-towners.
http://www.barnwellcountychamber.org/
Is that wrong?
Yea…I am from South Carolina…I hate days like this when we are embarrassed by our elected leaders.
I hate everyday.
What are the odds Joe woke up with a horse’s head in his bed this morning?
really the only passable explanation he should have offered is that he was drunk at the time. shit-faced drunk. thought he was back at the frat with his drunk “friends.”
[re=407529]hobospacejunkie[/re]: We all know facts are socialist.
So do you think this pigfucker actually believes his own bullshit, or was it just a cheap stunt to gain some teabagger cred?
[re=407561]Fox News Light[/re]: Me too.
PS – is there a day when we’re not? I haven’t noticed any lately.
[re=407550]BMK[/re]: or “Eat some fuck”
[re=407554]martinette[/re]:
His first and middle names are disease names.
His parents must not have wanted him, much like S.C.

Hey Joe, where you goin with that dick in your mouth
…
I’m going down to shoot my mouth off
You know, a black man is messin with my insurance company donors
….
Yes I did, I said LIAR!!
haha… ahem. sorries!
[re=407524]groove[/re]: You should see how they react when you tell them that Obama just signed the gravity bill, making it law.
[re=407537]T-thyme[/re]:
Oh, they’ve always been like that. I think it’s the fiery Huguenot culture or something. Combining Calvinism and French high passion is just asking for trouble. If he had any manners, he’d have drawn his sword and challenged Obama to a duel.
[re=407567]raysmuckles[/re]: Cheap stunt. He knew he’d have to apologize afterward. He wanted to be ‘in’ with the racists and teabaggers and death panelist. He knows they will hold him in high esteem, such as it is, even though he apologized.
Politicians aren’t known for their spontaneity.
Other, less-famous Wilson ripostes: “Liar, liar pants on fire.” and “I know you are, but what am I?”
Joe Wilson is an intelligent, thoughtful, mature member of Congress.
YOU LIE!
Am I a bad person for hoping this ends with Addison’s top(s) coming out of the woodwork?
A fuller description of his comments: “. . .inappropriate and regrettable,” contemptible, disrespectful, ignorant, easily disproved, and motivated by race hatred.
[re=407571]rocktonsammy[/re]: Excellent observation! His child nicknames were probably “Piles” “AIDS” and “Projectile Diarrhea”.
Bailiff, whack his pee pee!
[re=407568]SweetTea&[/re]: [re=407561]Fox News Light[/re]: Come on – you know we can look even dumber. I’m counting on DeMint to bring the redneck gold, but he’s slick. Pulled “Waterloo” right out of his ass on the spot. Was he even BORN in our fair Palmetto State? Release the long form, DeMint!
[re=407567]raysmuckles[/re]: More like AMA cred.
Someone posted this earlier:
http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00024809
2010 is around the corner and those campaign contributions ain’t gonna make themselves.
Notice how his apology presupposes the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care reform bill, which does not exist in the bill. It is very clear.
This is what I call and “a-hole apology”.
People think he shouted “You lie!” but closer audio analysis indicates he yelled “White Power!”
I can’t even bring the snark. Joe Wilson is a rude, racist motherfucker who should die. I hope he’s first in line for the pandemic.
[re=407561]Fox News Light[/re]: yeah I feel you. As soon as I heard Keith O. say it was Joe Wilson from SC I just threw up my hands and said, Now what? Sometimes I feel like I’m wading through a clogged up septic tank the conservative/christian/wingnut/republicans/hypocrites are so thick here. And I’m just talking about my family.
[re=407555]toooldtocare[/re]: ha…I see what you did here. We resemble that remark.
Y’all don’t know the half of it about the tiny gene pool. They’re Proud of it; in fact, it’s how they perpetuate their “way of life.” Here in my pastoral, deep South hamlet of Pissant Point, you’re nobody unless your parents were double first cousins. All the local royalty have interchangeable,inbred names like Dick Bushey, Bushey Head, Bushey Dick, Head Dick, and Dick Head. The local leaders are down to a collective IQ of around 40, because you don’t have a prayer of winning an election unless your mother and father were twins. They’d like this health care thing more if it included more support for inbreeding.
[re=407568]SweetTea&[/re]: If it weren’t for Cheraw State Park and the great golf course there, I would approve of drenching the perimeter of your state with gasoline and lighting a match.
That golf course really is nice.
The real Joe Wilson thinks this is just another reason Karl Rove should be arrested.
HE LIES
[re=407603]nbawriter[/re]: You forgot Myrtle Beach, aka the South Jersey shore.
It was like watching the British Parliament, only with less amusing accents.
[re=407586]El Pinche[/re]: Ah, so by “Mexicans deserve to die of preventable disease,” what Wilson really meant was “doctors have a right to charge whatever the fuck they want for treatment.” I should have seen the Republican method at first:
1) Protect moneyed interest
2) Cover in racism
3) PROFIT!
[re=407608]P Drizzle[/re]: not counting the golf (and the snobbish white people), Edisto Island beats Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head and Kiawah Island hands down.
[re=407554]martinette[/re]: Addison’s… disease?
We all know who will be crowned “King of the Fools” today. Wilson will be canonized by every reich-wing bloviator on the air, or in print today. It’s up to us to make sure he NEVER AGAIN has the opportunity to disrupt this great President.
I say this; contact your congressman and make sure this riech-wing, tea-bagging douche bag is censured. And then, contribute a few bucks to the Democrat who is running against this Un-American repug in next year’s election.
It’s long past time that Douche-bag joe (as his friends are want to call him), is culled from the herd and sent to the reich-wing pasture of the crazy…..
Agreed?
[re=407609]Min[/re]: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing only without the ‘amusing accent’ part because this has shorn me of the last vestiges of humor.
[re=407577]Lefty Lucy[/re]: I hear he wrote a high school paper about the difference between rubber and glue.
“HOW COME A FELLER CAN”T TELL IT LIKE IT IS IN ARE CONGRESSES” comments are way over due on the right wing side. Maybe it”s just based on past wingnut behavior, but I suspect this was set up all along. The guy just fell on his sword for the Limbaugh wing of the party, I bet.
[re=407599]takes12no1[/re]: Pinky’s life experience, contrary to assumptions, has not been confined to Jersey and Milwaukee but also extends to the Palmetto State. Given this, I have been very troubled by the easy anti-Southern rhetoric that shouty Keith GobblerMan and others slide into when talking about vile Republicans (who are, yes, from the South, but also from Kansas). I guess that the shouts of this particular…um, what was the term Van Jones used again? Oh yeah… asshole means that any attempt to point out the prejudice is futile, but, for what it’s worth:
There are no crazier, cooler, more hardcore and admirable progressives in this country than the ones who live in the South. Godspeed to each and every one of you.
master addison, we understand aunty nancy took you to the woodshed for a paddling. do you know why that happened? here’s a hanky, wipe the snot off your nose and be a good boy, now, bless your heart.
[re=407554]martinette[/re]: Wow, his real first names are both endocrine disorders. Actually, this explains a lot…
[re=407567]raysmuckles[/re]: cheap stunt to gain teabagger cred. Obvy.
[re=407621]mookworthjwilson[/re]: No, that was his thesis at Regent University.
[re=407614]takes12no1[/re]: Oooh. What about Senor Stanford’s Sullivan’s Island? It’s like Charleston but without all that pesky city flavor (read: coloreds).
Well, Pawley’s Island was still pretty lovely, last time I was there, and that’s where they make those rope hammocks. Plus: Stephen Colbert. Other than that, the whole state is a big shitpile of inbred toothless tards and overdressed poisonous tanned-leather-skinned Southren Belles manqué.
Do you think he’s somewhere, hiding, while his staff scratches their heads and look at their blank govt page and say, “What did they crazy fucker do now?” (Or are they as lamely ideological as Doktor Tom’s local staff person?) or is the Honorable Mr. Wilson under the impression all his teabagging friends have crashed his little site with all their well wishes?
[re=407567]raysmuckles[/re]: The latter.
[re=407625]PinkyTuscadero[/re]: thank you pinky, our pollies are making it very difficult though. But I do so love to see when they slowly sink in their own mire (like Sanford) or all the sudden combust like Joe the Dumber here. And I just mapquested it, this guy lives 8.21 miles from me.
Clyburn said he’s just an asshole, and that he held a town hall meeting three blocks from his (Clyburn’s) house, at his (Clyburn’s) kid’s school, not at all in his (Wilson’s) district. Now why did he do that? Because he’s just an asshole.
Now well all know. South Carolina, the center of American Political Theater this year.
[re=407561]Fox News Light[/re]: I used to live in Texas, so I totally sympathize, yew pore thang.
[re=407518]ManchuCandidate[/re]: In Addison Wilson’s case, someone “forked” at least once too often…
Dick Cheney said it best, years ago: “Joe Wilson is an a@@hole.”
I’m really busy today and don’t have time to even read this full thread, but would someone give me a call when Michelle Bachman releases her mighty defense of Joe Wilson?
Thanks. Later!
[re=407616]Who_Knew_2[/re]: Remind us again when it is donation/election time, and you’d better remind us who Joe Wilson is then, because our attention span has the duration of a butterfly’s wink. And you might need to. . . Addison. . .yellowcake. . joint assem. . .zzzzzzzzzz
Here’s a great idea.
Take this guy’s apology and shove up it South Carolina poop hole.

[re=407584]P Drizzle[/re]: Sadly yes. My brother went to Greenville’s Wade Hampton High School with DeMint. He’s a born and inbred South Carolinian.
BTW–I hear the Australian “shouty” question on “Wait, wait,” and now it’s all over wonkette. We aren’t all listening to the same radio station and watching the same teevee, are we? Because wouldn’t that make us an echo chamber?
The ghost of Preston Brooks took over poor Mr. Addison Wilson during the joint congressional session, obvs.
Secret Service Presidential Detail would have taken Wilson down in a flurry of 9mm wadcutter action, if Mrs. Muir and His Ghost was game enough to approach the dias with anything resembling a walking stick…it wouldn’t be necessary if that neo-sesesh douchetard hadn’t started it. They never learn. You see latter-day-sesesh has to be cleared away by the hand of God like the Jews of old…

[re=407539]Voyou Charmant[/re]: Their issue is that the bill’s provision doesn’t *require* healthcare workers to verify a patient’s citizenship prior to treating them.
Makes them sound so much more reasonable now, doesn’t it.
He is a reserve colonel and should be court marshaled for saying that to his commander in chief.
[re=407625]PinkyTuscadero[/re]: Thank you Pinky. For every knuckle-dragging, snaggle-toothed, barefoot, cousin-marrying Cro-Magnon Rethug that pops up his/her head and spouts off inbred racist crap (and yes, I’m looking at you, Bob Corker, Marsha Blackburn, and Zach Wamp), there are (hopefully) an equal number of cock-sucking, buttsecking, Eudora Welty reading, freethinking progressives that can provide a nice counterbalance.
[re=407625]PinkyTuscadero[/re]: It’s way too easy to use the dumb hicks as proxy and ignore the good people. But then….

That’s all I got.
[re=407698]teebob2000[/re]: No. reasonable is not a word I would use in the same sentence as most Repugs. Asshole maybe. Fucktards probably. Anti-semite, anti-gay, anti-mexican, anti-anything-not-white-and-looks-exactly-like-them-and-goes-to-the-same-church-as-they-go-to hypocrites definitely.

Of course, if you had befriended the rich, they wouldn’t help you either. Isn’t it a bitch how that turns out?
[re=407629]Gun-toting Progressive[/re]: Funny sense of humor, those parents of Addison Graves Cock Cancer “Joe” Wilson, Sr. And it indicates that there’s an Addison Graves Cock Cancer “Joe” Wilson, Jr. out there, too.

Also, people can use this url to keep checking back to see when Wilson’s web site is back up.
Google only shut the front door. You can reach Tourette syndrome victim Joe Wilson here and let him know you sympathize with his plight: http://www.house.gov/formwilson/IMA/issue.htm
[re=407701]liquiddaddy[/re]: YES. And of course, all this only creates distracting drama- so that we don’t keep focusing on the REASON for the speech in the first place. He “let his emotions get the better of him”?? REALLY? Because I’m pretty sure every member of congress got an advanced copy of the speech. Calculated.
[re=407698]teebob2000[/re]: Okay, so I just got back from my doc. I’m trying to imagine this the check in at the window. “Do you have a new insurance card?” Me: Yes, here. “And a birth certificate, passport, social security card, and green card please?” Me: WTF?
It’s not the border f*cking patrol, it’s a doctor’s office. The nice lady at the desk cares about two things: You gots an insurance card or you gots method of payment. How will that change under a system that requires insurance companies to not deny you a contract based on pre-existing conditions? Or even if the program *gasp* allows a public option. If the public option office gives you coverage and a card, then shouldn’t they have checked who the hell you were? I, personally, don’t want my doc’s staff having to f*ck around with checking patients’ citizenship documentation. That’s totally nuts.
Addison Graves Wilson, Sr. is a devil worshiping, child molesting, gramdma feltching, piece of road debris, bless his heart.
[re=407621]mookworthjwilson[/re]: YOU LIE LIKE A RUG!
[re=407625]PinkyTuscadero[/re]: As much as I pick on the Bad Carolina, this guano-filled diaper of crazy is my congresshole. So yeah, I fucking concur with your last point.
As to picking on the south, I don’t worry much about that; I roll my eyes at the same bullshit KO et. al. do, and don’t think they’re pointing at me personally when they do that. And really, most people who would take umbrage at that have already climbed up to the top of a building in their town square and screamed “THE PRESIDENT IS A NI-” already, and who gives a good goddamn what those sister-fucking idiots think, about anything?
Really, I think of it as a remarkably benign attempt to shame those who still have shame into joining the current century. I say benign because I grew up here and my answer would be to load these sorry motherfuckers onto 757s and shove them out over the middle of the Atlantic, about 40,000 feet up at 500 mph. Being unconscious, they wouldn’t learn anything on the way down, but then again they weren’t going to learn anything no matter what.
