On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh lambasted Republicans for condemning Rep. Joe Wilson’s (R-SC) outburst of “You lie!” during President Obama’s speech last night — and even said he wished Wilson hadn’t apologized:

“That was a blatant lie. I’m gonna tell you something. I’ve — one of the things that’s really irritated me all morning and last night, was listening to Republicans, even after wilson has apologized — and I wish he had not. But he’s apologized, and even after he’s apologized, members of his own party are all over television denigrating him.”

Does this mean Wilson will now have to apologize to Limbaugh for the apology to Obama?
