WASHINGTON (SR) - A Republican House member has apologized for his outburst during President Obama's health care reform address Wednesday night.
South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson shouted "You lie" after Obama said extending health care to all Americans would not mean insuring illegal immigrants.
Wilson's outburst brought a swift denunciation from Democrats and Republicans alike. Vice President Biden said the incident made him "embarrassed for the chamber and a Congress that I love - not a superficial love, but a deep, soulful love that sometimes makes me want to get naked and ru....uh..never mind."
Rep. Wilson was quick to apologize for his actions and released this statement: "This evening I let my emotions get the best of me and my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I meant to say 'you lie like a cheap rug, you skinny, arrogant, Godless, commie piece of sh*t,' but I was so mad I couldn't think straight. Sorry."
My comments: I have a feeling Joe might love Congress just a little too much...
