In other news from Washington, the Democratic-led House has voted to rebuke Republican Congress member Joe Wilson for his outburst during President Obama’s healthcare speech last week. Wilson shouted “you lie!” after Obama said his healthcare plan doesn’t cover undocumented immigrants. The measure passed mostly along party lines. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer rejected Republican criticism.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer: “What is at issue here is of importance to this House and to our country. And that issue is whether we are able to proceed with a degree of civility and decorum that our rules and our democracy contemplate and require.”
