8. Unfortunately the CNN newswhore site only recognizes that
Wilson has made "almost $1 million".

Worthless MSM is worthless.

15. Oh, they're GREAT!
The Glenn Beck puppeteer one isn't even funny, since it's so close to the truth.

Did you notice how the dudes sitting on either side of Wilson

1. look like twins,and
2. don't look the least bit surprised.

It was all a set-up, and they were all in on it.

I guess old Joe drew the short straw, something those men are far too familiar with, I expect.

Thanks for all the LOLZ!

3. And CNN has been breathlessly reporting this, right? oops....no....they haven't.
Joe Wilson is their designated hero for coverage.

5. You might want to re-read the article and correct your title
The 1.8 million is combined between Wilson and Miller. Not just for Miller.

7. With over a year to go before the election. I am sure Wilson will give
us more reasons to donate more.

14. Big bump for Miller but also for Wilson.
Seems he is the new hero to the RW. Kind of sad that this guy makes a fool of himself and gets taken to the woodshed by his own party and still gets $3 for every $4 that his opponet gets. The politics in the USA is getting CRAZY!

I predict that Wilson will pull even and overtake Miller by Monday and be reelected in 2010. Crazy p(l)ays well in 2009 USA!

19. He got 46% last election (his first attempt I think) with not nearly so much money
So I'd think with this kind of dough he'll have a shot.

the political climate.
