Would there have to be a vote? I'd love to see how Republicans would vote on such a matter.

If he wasn't desperately trying to raise money off of this action I might say "Let it go and focus on healthcare and other matters", but fund raising off his outburst is too much.

Pelosi ought to show more courage & censure Wilson.My,goosh As Speaker isn't she charged with upholding & enforcing the rules of decorum in the house body by it's members.

If Pelosi can't uphold the integrity of the House chamber she as speaker is no better than Wilson,both show scant respect for the institution.How much more Shamful can it get..

A censure is the equivalent to a sternly worded letter and will be treated like a badge of honor by the teabaggers, Fox and radio cranks. When Baucus doubles down on keeping illegal immigrants out of the bill that they are already excluded from, he's signaling that Joe Wilson was right. If the Dems insist on caving to every goober and gomer who raises his voice, how can we count on them to pass a bill that isn't a pale imitation of what we need?

Why is the apology option even on the table? Censure the jerk and move on.

Make him stand in the corner like the spoiled brat he is.

Isn't this something that the Republicans should be enforcing? No one should hold their breath waiting for such a formal apology to happen but they should at least give them a chance to clean their own house (pun not intended).

I think Pelosi is coming off like a repressed control freak. Where was all her gumption when the people were demanding impeachments during the last administration? A trustworthy investigation of 911? The investigation of war crimes? Lies and manipulation in the lead up to Iran -- the Neocon exploitation of 911? The revelations of Sibel Edmonds regarding bribery and corruption of members of Congress by foreign agents?

This only shows her pettiness whenever a no-name, nitwit son-of-the-Confederacy and Dixie flag waving racist is involved. When has she ever stood up to a big dog?

I've seen Wilson on C-SPAN a number of times, he's an arrogant, nasty right winger who looks down on his political opponents.

Maybe the Dems are playing him, baiting him so he shows just how nasty and arrogant he can be. He's already playing down his "apology" and the wingnuts are coming to his defense, but he and his party are getting a lot of bad press.

Hmmm...my guess is that Dembs ignore Pelosi and eventually form a bifartisan commission that deadlocks on whether or not the so-called President lied.

Don't forget that Obama isn't the first president to be heckled during a speech. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0xO-ZQSoP8. I agree Wilson shouldn't have done what he did. But don't you think that it would be nice if the country could actually get together and solve our differences through a little better communication and a little less vehemence?

Hmmmm, impeachment is off the table for Bush but censure for Wilson is not? I think Ms. Pelosi's priorities are seriously out of whack.
