There Could Be a Couple Things Keeping Joe Wilson Awake

Someone once told The Hill that Wilson took caffeine pills "like candy"

With two presidential speech-interjecting words, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson painted a nice, big bull's-eye all over every aspect of his life.

So naturally some less than flattering details about his life are turning up. Like, for instance, the fact that someone once told The Hill that Wilson took caffeine pills "like candy."

The use isn't a secret. Though the extent to which he took them isn't clear. Wilson said in 2007 that he had shared with his doctor the fact that he was taking them.

Is that a crime? Certainly not. But for a guy making his name with a freakish outburst, anything that feeds into the notion that his head may not be entirely in place will be used against him in the public court of judgment.
