WASHINGTON (CNN) – Rep. Joe Wilson's wife Roxanne has been diagnosed with swine flu, the congressman's office confirmed to CNN on Thursday.

The South Carolina Republican who gained instant notoriety in September for shouting "You lie!" at the president told The Hill newspaper on Thursday that he plans to keep his distance from his wife when he returns home this weekend.

Wilson said he plans to get the H1N1 vaccination soon, but only after "the majority of the American people" receive it.

Rep. Greg Walden, R-Washington, is the only member of Congress to have contracted swine flu.

1. Fortunately she has excellent, govt.-run veterans benefits.

Lucky her.

2. Why would his office even make an announcement as trivial as this?

3. Too bad, she's the one who uses her brain before engaging her mouth ...

He's an idiot for thinking he should get the vaccination after "the majority of American people" get it.

4. Walden is from Oregon

Our only R in DC. Not surprised he caught the flu, everybody is sick with one thing or another right now.

8. So, before she gets treatment

should she have to prove her citizenship - with a "Long Form" birth certificate with a raised seal and sworn witnesses?
