On Wilson I am of three minds (like a tree in which there are three blackbirds — blackbirds who are very tired of hearing Obama talk about health care). 1. The breach of decorum was unseemly; 2. but we give presidents too much deference, so it’s good to hear one getting yelled at from time to time, and 3. Obama is not telling the truth about covering illegal immigrants.

Probably wasn’t wise to toss the Democrats’ media a softball like that, and if you’re going to pull a Howard Beale, you’ve got to stick it out and own it — you don’t call somebody a liar and then apologize, especially if you believe, with good reason, that he is not telling the truth.
