She says she spoke with her husband after Obama's speech and asked him, "Joe, who's the nut that hollered out, 'you lie'?'" When he told her it was him she says she didn't believe him at first.

She goes on to explain that Wilson is "very passionate" and the rest of the video is a standard campaign spot H/t Politico).

Let Obama know you are are all for change, we want the "Public Option."

[ChumpChicken]

Yeah, if he was so passionate then what has he done since he's been in Congress?!?
Why is he still some back-bench repub?

[Nina28]

Is this the same Joe Wilson who voted to Keep the confederate flag flying high in his state, the same fly that is imfamously known an used by the KKK and other Southern racists?

Joe, you're lying about this outburst being a once in a lifetime uncontrollable slip and that it is uncharacteristic of you. This is your true face.

As for your groupies with the You Lie tee shirts. They're using a copyright logo, (Obama's) I believe that's grounds for litigation.

Trying again:

South Carolina has repeatedly elected a known racist. His wife is a captive fool, his electorate is a confederacy of dunces.

hehe

[Manchesterian]

It was your nut. Do remind him to use his good manners each time he leaves the house.

Wait till this lady go on FOX News and she start to cry on national tv; watch, she'll do it, just hold on tight to your seat; it's going to be a "soap opera" type of interview with Glenn Beck crying ("Are You Ready To Be That Person You Were...uha­aa, uhaaa...Th­at Day After Yelling You Lie?"), or Bill O'Reilly ranting at his prompter (We'll Do It Live Wilson, We'll Do It Live, F... It"), or Sean Hannity praying for his "enemies" to repent ("How Many Here Are Patriotic Americans Like Wilson?"; it's going to be a day or a night to remember! Huh, pundits, republicans and FOX News, they are really disgusting, for real!

[ReservoirDog]

Roxanne: Joe, what ID.IOT would marry you ?

Joe: Only you, Darling

[wsmcke]

ROTFL!!!

[ForVicki]

This poor woman...wh­at would she do if he's revealed as a "C Street" member?

[Whitley2009]

WHEN he's revealed as a follower of C-Street's The Family. All of his friends are in it.

[Jerry Pecks]

That has to be the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. Enough is enough. If you aren't responsible enough to think before you speak, especially while in the company of the President, than you probably aren't responsible enough to be a member of Congress.

[One more Thing]

Someone paid a lot of money for this production.

It doesn't fly with me.

[Lex10]

That's real talent to play the piano like that while chatting,.­....... the camera should have shown some of her fingerwork­....

also ps: what krap

[kingbuzz]

scary lookin.

[rockyroad]

Wow,

This is so sad. If she only knew. Now she will. Sad. Lovely woman.

[soulsangels]

I can't wait for her next commercial after she finds out about all his affairs.

Or will she still stand behind her husband's mistress man?

[soulsangels]

"Passionate"

Really Roxy when was the last time he laid you out flat?

Met at Republican teen camp? Sounds like child abuse, or reeducation camp.

May all your grandbabies be BROWN!

[Banji81]

Laughing so hard, I can't breathe!!!!! LOL....
