Joe Wilson, or should I say Addison Graves Wilson Sr., man up! You become the poster child for political incivility and all you can do is issue a written statement? How about you fess up to the fact that yourlittle public tirade was itself a lie? And, Lots of folks are covering the untruth uttered by Wilson. (Or, could it be that Wilson’s uncovered some secret plot, something only he knows about?)

And, Joe, why go offline? Really, check for yourself, Joe Wilson is offline. (edit: site now claims to be down due to “high traffic.”) How about you stand up and speak clearly, like the President of the United States?  Are you scared that a “mob” might form on the Internet–kinda like the forces you and your right-wing ideologues have unleashed to quash meaningful debate about health care?

Now that I’ve fulminated a bit, perhaps its time for some perspective on just how august Congress really is. Indeed, Joe’s behavior continues a long line of incivility in those hallowed halls.  For example, check out this list of great Congressional fistfights. There are rules of order for a reason I guess.
