“Joe Wilson is Your Pre-Existing Condition” becomes overnight sensation

From the archive: published Sep 10, 2009, 17 years ago. Details may have changed since.

Literally.

While media outlets loop the snippet of Barack Obama’s speech last night- in which Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) hecked the president by loudly shouting “you lie,” -an evil cousin to the site “Barack Obama is Your New Bicycle ” has sprung up and is all the rage.

Instead of the benign actions attributed to the POTUS on the “Barack Obama is Your New Bicycle” site (example: Barack Obama made you a mixtape, Barack Obama e-mailed your dad and told him how great you are) “Joe Wilson is Your Pre-Existing Condition” lists a series of inconsiderate and annoying things that Joe Wilson “did,” in the same bare bones, all caps style of its predecessor. From the Huffington Post:

  • Joe Wilson used your best scissors to trim his ear hair
  • Joe Wilson laid off your dad just before his pension kicked in
  • Joe Wilson stole your newspaper
  • Joe Wilson yells ‘Free Bird’ at concerts
  • Joe Wilson called your sister a skank
  • Joe Wilson hit on your mom
  • Joe Wilson didn’t refill your Brita pitcher
  • Joe Wilson traded the dead batteries in his Walkman for the fresh ones in your TV remote
  • Joe Wilson cancelled (sic) your insurance for buying off-brand insoles

Some address the health care crisis and his outburst directly:

  • Joe Wilson claims your sick child is faking
  • Joe Wilson yells while adults are talking
  • Joe Wilson cancelled (sic) your insurance for buying off-brand insoles

My personal favorite?
