Breaking: Joe Wilson is a Dirty Pill Popper!
Well, the truth about Rep. Joe Wilson, the man who destroyed forever the decorum and civility of the floor of Congress with his white-hot two-word harangue of our perfectly honest and forthright President, is out. The Hill has revealed that Wilson took pills.
Caffeine pills.
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), who shouted “you lie!” at President Obama during his Wednesday night address to Congress, admitted to regularly consuming caffeine pills in 2007.
It is unclear if Wilson still takes NoDoz, a brand of pill that contains 200 milligrams of caffeine a pop. By comparison, a seven ounce cup of drip coffee contains 115 to 175 milligrams of caffeine.
Oh, but I’m sure that by the end of today, The Hill will have ferreted out the entire sordid tale of Wilson’s long history of addiction and abuse. How dare he legislate under the influence of The Ol’ Debbil Caffeine! He should have been more like the lionized Ted Kennedy who was a mere drunk. Better yet, he should have been like the guy he verbally assaulted, who actually did cocaine!
Perhaps they should stake out the Starbucks on Capitol Hill to see who else might be hooked on this dangerous substance. Why, we could have a real Republican Scandal aborning right in front of our eyes.
Good Gods, people! Why are you wasting time writing other stories? You have a republic to save!

UPDATE: It’s worse than you can possibly believe. Newsweek has unearthed the “dirty secret” that Joe Wilson, his son, and other members of his family have GOIVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE, the very same health care they want to deny YOU!
Well, okay, it’s military health care because Wilson is a retired Lieutenant Colonel (which is not exactly a secret or anything) and four of his sons either serve now or have served in the military. And, of course, if you ask our service members about how much they love military health care, you’re not exactly going to get a bushel basket of ringing endorsements. And Wilson and his sons are stuck in the same insurance rut as the rest of us — his employer buys his insurance and he takes what he is given or goes without. And the author has an axe the size of Paul Bunyan’s to grind.
But besides all those things, this is one heck of a scandalous revelation. Nicely done, Newsweek!

Joe Wilson: Healthcare Hypocrite
Sorry – but Joe says that TRICARE is one of the best health plans in the country! But he says that government plans compromise care and interfere with doctors and patients. Also, the little story about people getting insurance from their "employers" is subtly deceptive. Instead, we get our employer plans from our employer, the government and from our own premiums. The government subsidizes private employer plans. The government RUNS, ADMINISTERS, DETERMINES WHAT CARE IS AVAILABLE, ETC, for TRICARE. There's a huge difference. That's why TRICARE is a public plan — which conservatives say is demonic and satanic. Why not just hand military people $$$ and let them get their "own" care elsewhere?
I favor gun rights & fiscal restraint. I wouldn't be caught dead being called a Republican. Fact is, Republicans love the State Machine, a militaristic society that gives cops the green light to ignore the constitution. Don't they even remotely see their hypocrisy in living off the government dole. Where is the "sacrafice" by these ex GI's who whine endlessly about their "sacrafice" while collecting benefits that would make Bernie Madoff blush.
Meh. I find your comment factually lacking.
