Joe Wilson is currently the Republican U.S. Representative from the 2nd Congressional District of South Carolina. He will go down in history as the Congressman who heckled the President of the United States Barack Obama during his September 10, 2009 speech to Congress on health care reform. Wilson apologized formally to the President but not to the Congress. Wilson responded to the demand that he apologize to Congress by trying to shift the blame: I am not going to apologize again," Wilson said on "Fox News Sunday." "I apologized to the president on Wednesday night....I believe that is sufficient....This is just a way to divert attention... It's a diversion from people looking at the bill and their concerns about the bill." Typical conservative evasion of responsibility.
