Roy Edroso’s round-up of wingnut reaction to Joe “You lie!” Wilson contains this hilarious gem (via Tom Tomorrow) :

Riehl World View rushed to interview the Congressman, and though they only repeated one word of his responses (“appalling,” regarding the President’s assertion), they characterized him as open-minded (“he went into the speech hoping Obama would genuinely reach out both to the people and across the aisle to address their concerns”), sensitive to the needs of his constituents (“Wilson also stressed his concern for the existing high unemployment in South Carolina”), and a man of even temperament, at least on most occasions (“Other than the single, short impromptu blurt, Wilson said he was in complete control of himself at all times”).

True. Wilson was “in complete control of himself”, except when he wasn’t. And if you really think about it, with the exception of a few interviews, Sarah Palin has spent the majority of her life NOT sounding like a complete dumbass. Like when she’s sleeping or eating or waiting for others to stop talking.
