Joe Wilson (R-SC) will milk this for as long as he can. After his "You lie!" outburst during Barack Obama's health insurance reform speech on Wednesday night (and some said he planned that "outburst," as the text of the speech was known to all), he apologized, though somewhat unrepentently. He told Fox News’ Chris Wallace on Sunday that he won’t apologize to Congress. http://www.huliq.com/3257/86242/joe-wilson-states-wont-apologize-congress#comments Society Barack Obama Congress Joe Wilson Nancy Pelosi Sun, 13 Sep 2009 15:27:51 -0500 Michael Santo 86242 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/7306/84839/bartering-pay-health-care Maybe Congress should scrap their efforts at health care and health insurance reform.
