Everyone's abuzz tonight about Republican Representative Joe Wilson (from the allegedly Great State of South Carolina -- where I was born) and his outburst during Obama's health care speech:

"There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false - the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally," President Obama said.

A loud voice from the Republican side of the hall answered, "Lie" -- my colleague Glenn Thrush reports it was Rep. Joe Wilson (R - S.C.) -- drawing a second "It's not true," from Obama and a shake of Nancy Pelosi's head.

The bill is designed to exclude those immigrants, though some Republicans have called for more explicit bans on funding for illegal immigrants and have claimed the bill will funnel money to illegal immigrants.

FactCheck.org described those claims as "false" and noted that one version of the legislation already includes an explicit bar on federal funding for illegal immigrants' health care.

Here's a clip featuring the exchange:

I'm told Rep. Wilson is on Twitter (just do a search there for @CongJoeWilson to see some amusing content). And his office phone number is (202) 225-2452.
