"OH, SWEET. Look who got an action figure! South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson, that's who! Thanks to the good people at HeroBuilder.com, if you are looking to part with a cool $39.95 on a needless recession-era purchase, you can now be the proud owner of a mini-fig that ably chronicles that time in American History where a guy yelled at the President during a speech to a joint session of Congress. ..."

It must speak to the intellect and emotional maturity of the people they are soliciting money and votes from.

9. That's part of the "Honorable Confederate Action Pack" Joe Wilson...

...which includes the complete cross-burning kit (gasoline not included). Though all Joe Wilson action figures come with the kung-fu "You lie!" grip and bulging, indignant eyes.

7. Pull his string and he screeches: "You Lie!" - EXCEPT...

You can't pull his strings unless you work for the Health Care Insurance Industry.


Not much fun for kids, I'm guessing...
