Addison Graves Joe "you lie" Wilson inspires a movement.

So far Addison Graves Joe "you lie" Wilson is helping his opponent, Rob Miller, over at ActBlue more than himself. So far those two words have led to over $817,000 for USMC Iraq veteran Rob Miller.

Sue Sturgis at the Institute for Southern Studies has a rundown on Joe and his past behavior and funding from the health care industry.

One commenter points our that Joe "you lie" Wilson is actually a chickenhawk who got out of serving in Vietnam but did do time in the Army Reserve and National Guard. These days those stints wouldn't have helped him avoid serving in Iraq would they?

Another comment mentions that this will all be a big deal for the mainstream media who will chase the controversy over the lack of decorum or probably enter a debate about whether the Democrats aren't as ill mannered as the Republiecans. The whole time they will be missing the real issue of how it is the Republiecans, Betsy McCaughey, the for profit entities of the health care industry and their minions in Congress are lying and fabricating stuff to prevent any meaningful public option, let alone single payer over the desires of the majority of the American people.

America, land of the free to buy as many politicians as necessary to overcome the will of the people to protect profits, the beautiful.
