Rep. Joe Wilson has apologized for his outburst during President Obama’s speech last night, but the South Carolina Republican can’t take back the money flowing into his Democratic opponent’s coffers, CNN reports. Rob Miller has pocketed $200,000 since Wilson cried “You lie,” and Internet-savvy Dem fundraisers are funneling donations to his campaign. Miller called out his opponent last night for “engaging in childish name-calling and disrespecting our commander-in-chief.”
