Thanks, Joe!
Take that, Florida.

Last week the Sunshine State tried to reclaim its title as the Nuttiest Place in the Country when the GOP chairman there claimed President Barack Obama's speech to schoolchildren was an attempt to indoctrinate them to socialism — only later to concede that it was a good speech.

But South Carolina found a way to get back on top by squeezing one more embarrassing moment into this Summer of Shame.

Cue Joe Wilson.

Wednesday night, the Midlands congressman yelled 'You lie!' at the president during a nationally televised speech, turning a joint session of Congress into a town hall meeting.


snip...

Never has one man done more to divert attention from real issues, given aid and comfort to his political enemies, and kept his state's governor out of the news for an entire day

snip...


Way to go, Einstein.

By yelling at the president, you have reinforced the national stereotype of your state, boosted the chances of a government takeover of the health care industry, and helped Rob Miller, your opponent in next year's election, raise $400,000 in 24 hours.

Do yourselves a favor and read the entire article(it's short). This guy is really funny!
