Joe Wilson And The GOP

Outside of Congress, the party that nominated Sarah Palin is falling in line behind the man who heckled a sitting president. Here's McCain's former spokesman, and Kristol protege, Michael Goldfarb:

Joe Wilson offered the most succinct and effective Republican response to Obamacare since Sarah Palin attacked Obama's "death panels" -- and, like Sarah, he did it in just two words: "You lie."

Limbaugh, the actual leader of the GOP:

So Wilson told the truth, Obama was lying, and now we're harping all over Wilson.  Wilson apologized quickly.  And Obama said, "Yeah, okay. I accept it. You know, that's nice." How fast did Obama apologize to the police officer in Cambridge?  I don't think he has yet, has he?
