Prof. Reynolds has a round-up here.
Really, after 8 years of the way Dems and their allies treated Bush, did they not expect an erosion of civility to carry over into Obama’s term? A little silly to be pointing fingers now, whether you are on Joe Wilson’s side or not.
I sympathize with Mr. Wilson. He merely had the temerity to say in front of a national audience what many in that national audience were thinking anyway. And whether he intended or not, he’ll end up forcing discussion of Obamacare and illegal aliens, thus keeping the White House on the defensive on that issue.
UPDATE: Incidentally, I don’t think he should have apologized. Ordinarily, I’m all for apologies when someone crosses a line. But if you’re going to go all out like this, you need to go all out, all the way. It’s politics, not polite society.
