Nancy Pelosi, when asked if she’ll sanction Joe Wilson for inappropriate behavior told Fox News, “I don’t even know who he is.” Wilson, it turns out is a former aide to Senator Strom Thurmond. Wilson also once called California Congressman Bob Filner “viscerally anti-American” with a deep seeded (sp) “hatred of America” when Filner suggested the United States supplied chemical and biological weapons to Iraq.
UPDATE: Joe Wilson has now apologized:
“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.”
