    What did Congressman Joe Wilson do during a joint session of the U.S. Congress on September 9, 2009, for which he later apologized?

    Question #108684. Asked by star_gazer. (Sep 10 09 11:20 AM)

    Apparently, shouting "you lie" during a Presidential speech is seen as a little disrespectful and he is having to eat a lot of humble pie:

    Like "stupid" his name can also be seen following "I'm with"... on T-shirts.

    By late Wednesday, though, the congressman's Web site had crashed, he had taken a beating on his Twitter page and Democrat Rob Miller had raised thousands of unexpected dollars online for a possible rematch with Wilson in next year's midterm elections, according to Lachlan McIntosh, Miller's campaign manager.

    In the eight hours since Wilson's outburst, his Democratic opponent, former-Marine Rob Miller, has received nearly 3,000 individual grassroots contributions raising approximately $100,000, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said.
