ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AISLE

sat Joe Wilson. A Republican from South Carolina. A former Marine. A fifth term Congressman.

And this relatively unknown politician became an overnight personality whose name is revered or hated. Kinda like Joe the Plumber.

"You lie!" became his calling card to the President.

Gasps could be heard from the Capitol Building. Comments ranging from how rude and disrespectful that outburst was to he must apologize from the other side of the aisle.

Over $200,000 poured into his coffers for re-election after the remark. His opponent claims he received $400, 000. Another lie? Who knows?

But again the Dems or again is it Dims (?) have selective if not short memories. Weren't they the party on the other side of the aisle who booed GW Bush during his last State of the Union speech? Was that ok? Where were the apologies for rude, borish behavior and disrespecting the office of the Presidency?

I guess it depends on which side of the aisle one is on.
