South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson pointed at President Barack Obama, sneered, and shouted, “You lie!“—and promptly became a conservative “rock star,“ and a target of liberal contempt. While speaking on the floor of the House of Representatives, Florida Democrat Alan Grayson said Republican health care policy boiled down to “don’t get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly”—and promptly became a hero to the left and a villain to the right.

Now Playing: “You Lie II, Revenge of the Virginia Democrats.“ Gov. Timothy M. Kaine said yesterday that he was “frankly shocked” to see that Speaker of the House William J. Howell, R-Stafford, had asked for fundraising help from the South Carolina congressman who disrupted President Barack Obama’s health-care speech to Congress. “You’re known by the company you keep,“ said Kaine, speaking yesterday afternoon at the state Capitol in Richmond.

Wilson Howell No lie—the South Carolina congressman who interrupted President Barack Obama’s health-care speech to Congress is raising money for Speaker William J. Howell, R-Stafford. In an e-mail to thousands of prospective donors to Howell’s political-action committee, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., warns that “big liberal money” imperils continued GOP control of the House of Delegates.

WASHINGTON—Democratic leaders are planning a House vote early next week to admonish Republican Rep. Joe Wilson if he does not apologize on the House floor for yelling “You lie!“ during President Barack Obama’s health-care address to Congress.
