During President Obama’s major health care speech on Wednesday, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson (R) yelled out “You lie!” when the President said the legislation would not mandate coverage for undocumented immigrants.

During an appearance on CNN after Obama’s speech, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Wilson’s outburst was “totally disrespectful — [there’s] no place for it in that setting or any other and he should apologize immediately.”

My response? In the words of Rahm Emanuel, “No president ever has been treated like that, ever.”
