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. He tweeted the news on Monday, revealing plans to head off to "seclusion for a while" while he recovers.

I hope she recovers safely.
But can you say karma?
Wilson's lying. I don't believe a word he says.
Hope Mrs Wison enjoys the taxpayer-funded Health Insurance Congressmen and their families get.
It's a good thing HE has a good health care plan. If only he thought every other American deserved what HE has.
"Wilson said he plans to get the H1N1 vaccination soon, but only after "the majority of the American people" receive it." Joe, YOU LIE!
I am sorry that Mrs, Wilson has H1N1. I would not wish it on anyone. Good thing she has the best (free) health care Joe's job can buy. What about the rest of us Joe????
Wilson will probably find some way to blame the flu on Obama.
Joe Wilson's wife being diagnosed with H1N1 has nothing to do with anything political. It has nothing to do with Joe Wilson's demenor, beliefs, or his bad behavior, nor does it excuse that bad behavior. It has nothing to do with Republicans or Democrats.
The only point of interest is that this disease can touch anyone and will likely touch everyone one way or another eventually.
I just wish her a speedy recovery, and that it didn't pass on to any more of their family, friends, or co-workers.
Does she have health care? Oh yeah, we pay for it. Maybe she should not take anything for it like the millions of other uninsured.
That's funny that he made it a point to say that he will get the vaccine only after "the majority of the American people" receive it. Wouldn't want to be the guinea pig now would we Rep. Wilson? You Lie!
Poor lady. First she has to suffer the embarrassment that is her husband and now the pig has made her sick, too.
What a bonehead, his wife HAS the flu, but he's going to politicize his getting a vaccination until he's milked it for gain and until it doesn't matter. Classic neo-con, too little, too late and politics first.
I hope she gets better soon. That being said, Joe Wilson is still a boorish redneck.
God is punishing the liar!
HAHAHA!!! Good. This guy is pathetic.
No problem for her getting the best health care treatment available – she get "socialized" government health care.
The GOP's dear leader told his listeners not to get vaccinated against any flu, looks like Wilson is one of them. I don't understand why republicans hate science so much.
I don't mean to laugh, but um.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Interesting. Very interesting. I wonder if there is such a thing as 'what goes around comes around'. Interesting.
I hope Mrs. Wilson recovers and that's all I'm saying. I won't touch this, it is wide open for pig comments.
He has nothing to worry about, he has really good health care for him and his family, unlike millions of working Americans who cannot afford it or have been denied due to a preexisting condition....
You Lie. ha ha ha
this is not news, who cares
You know what it extremely sad about this story? It has made national news headlines.
She must have caught it from her husband.
This is one of he dumbest articals I have ever read. Who gives a rat's . Didn't this guy get enough publicity already?
Not to worry, she has very good government funded insurance – you know, the kind her husband wants to deny the rest of us?
What now, a news story for every congressman who gets sick? Please.
What a non-news item for CNN to report! I do not like Rep. Wilson and think he acted very rudely and disrespectfully to Pres. Obama. I would like to see the voters of South Carolina turn him out of office. But his wife's health problems are nobody's business.
Let me guess......she got it from him.
Okay, sorry to hear it and hope she gets better. Not news.
CNN: Your point being?
karma, I guess. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy...
why is this a story?
Stating the obvious, "couldn't happen to a nicer guy". (But sorry about his wife.) I bet he's real glad he has that good government-supported health insurance. To help out those of us who the caring insurance companies refuse to cover, I assume that he will be voting for a public option or something similar just in case we or our spouses or kids get sick. Anybody taking bets? I'd better stop – I think if I keep this up my attitude will start to show.
Hey Wilson-You're my HERO for telling it like it is.
Hope your lady has a speedy recovery.
As a democrat loyal to President Obama, I could write something very nasty...but I won't.
I just hope Mrs. "You Lie" gets plenty of rest and feels better soon.
Good thing Roxy is under Joe's congressional health care plan that the public pays for. She should think about kicking her husband off the farm as prevention from getting infected again.
This "nobody" shoots his mouth off at Obama and is suddenly a "somebody" that CNN, somehow, finds newsworthy! How sad.
Good thing he and his wife are covered by government sponsored health care.
Best wishes to Mrs. Wilson on a speedy recovery.
I wouldn't wish the flu on anyone, however I find it curious that the H1N1 Flu seems to be asserting itself slowly within the Republican Party. Hmmm...seems as if someone or something is trying to tell them something. Just sayin
it's no wonder......she lives with pig. What the heck, she has great health insurance. No worries for her!!!!!
Will she get reated through a government run option – the answer is yes for this hypocryte
I'm sure she has great medical coverage.
Honestly, CNN, is this really political news???????
Sorry she's ill – but this one is just too easy, lol. How could you live with that man and not expect to get swine flu?
The wife always suffers from the husband's stupidity.
SLAMMER!!!!!. . . . . . . Too bad, but I'll bet she has the best medical coverage a greedy Republican can buy, the rest of us sure don't!
You could call this Karma, however, she has the best medical coverage a greedy, low-life, Republican can buy!
How was that called again?? Ohh, yeah.. It is called karma!
You have to wonder why God would choose to punish Joe Wilson by giving his wife swine flu. I guess God disapproves of Wilson's "You lie!" I hope Wilson will take God's message to heart and repent.
Slap her in the best hospital money can buy....she's well covered with heath insurance.
Pig flu hits home.
I may not see eye to eye with him, but I wouldn't wish him or his family any harm. My best thoughts to his wife for a speedy recovery.
I don't believe this for a second, I believe it is a publicity stunt. I have no doubt that Mrs. Wilson may have influenza (yes, H1N1 could be suspected by her physician), but I think it is being exaggerated to create a little image enhancement for Joe. I'd like to see a copy of the lab reports with real proof, not a rich person's doctor making a "probably" statement.
Is CNN going to report every time someone gets the flu?
It's the flu. She'll get over it in 5 days tops.
And for the record, government employees have PRIVATE insurance, not government insurance. BCBS pays their bills just like everyone else. The cost of Wilson's health insurance comes out of his pay check just like everyone else.
So if you want health insurance like Wilson's and congress, then you DO NOT WANT A PUBLIC OPTION.
There's a lot I'd like to say but I'm a lot more dignifeid that Mr Wilson. I'm sure his wife will get the appropriate drugs and care and have a speedy recovery, unlike those who are uninsured and will just have to struggle through ...
I don't wish ill on anyone... Karma?
When the doctor told them that she had swine flu Joe yelled "You Lie!" to which the doctor responded, " No, I don't, here's the lab test, take a look." Joe, then looking at the tiles on the floor said, "Yeah, I know, I tend to do that when I'm scared."
I wonder how many right wing zealots will say that this is a punishment by God?
hope she recovers soon! hope he gets it and a severe case. jerk probably voted against the hate crimes bill.
Well I hope his wife recovers, despite the fact that I hated him for saying that.
There's no use for a comment section for this story.
and this is relevant how?
I'll bet Joe Wilson's wife has excellent health care.........paid for by the American taxpayer............better known as a government-provided system..........the same health care that all of us should have.
Shame on this country. And shame on our lawmakers, if they can't fix this, they deserve to be voted out of office. All of them, including Obama, are influenced by lobbyists and donations from insurance and drug companies. It is time to recognize that health care, equal and excellent health care, is a fundamental right of every citizen of this country.
Lucky for Mr. Wilson, he and his wife have good socialist...I mean ... public provided insurance to take excellent care of them. Too bad the rest of us are on our own. Thanks to tight- wad....I mean CONSERVATIVE Republicans and a few stupid Dems.
I wish her the best, but can you say "karma, " Joe?
Getting the vaccination AFTER getting the H1N1 won't help!!! A vaccination is to teach your immune system what threats there are to defend against in a safe manner. By getting the flu, you've already done the work of the vaccine.
Stop cutting the funding for good science, and while you're at it, learn something about what science can do for you.
who cares!
That's what she gets for kissing a PIG!
He should take her to the emergency room, because that is what he believes would be an efficient use of resources in our health care economy.
Wow, already the bad karma moving in on loudmouth Joe.
Thank goodness! the neanderthal believes in science now. If the planet warms up enough maybe we can even convince him that global warming is real. I am just waiting for a republic president to be yelled at in congress and see if the media will treat it the same way.
She got it from an ignorant pig.
Why is this a story?
I am not certain why this is newsworthy. 79 children in our small K-4 elementary school were absent today with the flu. Life goes on outside of Capital Hill.
I guess, that's what happens when you lay with a pig – you get swine flu.
Makes sense to me...
To CDC..... YOU LIE... there is no such thing as the swine flu.
Innoculations?!!?!?! A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY TO INFECT us with nanites which control our mind to change us to socialism!
Avoid innoculation... the nanites may re-program your kids to harm you.
Why is CNN soliciting comments on the news that his wife is sick? CNN is just baiting all the hate and vitriol from the lefties who are going to gloat about this.
Unbelievable!!!!!!!! The guy is man enough to call the President a liar is not man enough to "stand by his woman/wife" or take a swine flue shot until everyone does.......Once again proving this republican is lower than whale doo! CB
That's the chance you take when you wallow with swine.
Obama supporters should be sorry for ths woman but I'm sure after Sen Wilson calling their Jesus a liar they're yah-yahing her also. You can't even understand what they're mouthing. AND YES HE IS A TOTAL LYING DO NOTHING PRESIENT. I CAN"T SEE WHY YOU PEOPLE CAN:T SEE IT.
I could make some comment about Joe Wilson should be the one to get it, but I won't. His wife should recover quickly like all those that are ill.
Hope she feel better.
When you live with a pig this is what happens.
Why is this news? I bet one or the other of them had a headache once. Did that make CNN's headline? Humm.. well, probably it did. Nothing to see or read here, people. Moving on.
So this dopey entry has something to do with politics!!??
Good thing she has good insurance.
God works in Mysterious ways!!!
I have a feeling this fellow will inevitably have "You lie" engraved on his tombstone someday.
Not a fan of Joe Wilson, but I pray his wife will have a speedy recovery.
Karma will get you every time!!
My God! What is this doing in the news. Is it a bait to see how many say how great that is? This news story is much sicker than the H1N1.
Best of luck to your wife Congressman Joe Wilson. I'm sure she'll be just fine and back on her feet in no time.
Wonder if he'll turn down that government-run health insurance plan he gets or if he'll ride it out like he would have South Carolinians do?
its ok he,s got good health insurance like he always igot mine tobadabout you
Is this a "haha your wife has swine flu" to get back at him for insulting CNN's precious Obama?
Hope she has healthcare!
Plenty of Americans are coming down with the swine flu, so Joe Wilson's wife coming down with it is not news. It seems more like an attempt at grabbing publicity by a politician who falsely and rudely accused our president.
Swine flu? That one's too easy.
Wow.. politicians suffer like the rest of us.. ??? really?? oh no wait.. I forgot THEY have the BEST health care benefits of anyone in this country.. silly me... of course they are cool with getting the H1N1 virus, they don't have to worry about hospital bills or missing work with no pay.
You Lie! If I were that loser's wife, I would pretend I had Swine Flu too to get some away tim from him!
I wish him, his wife or anyone who gets that stuff a speedy recovery. I don't know that the vaccination is the solution though.
Hope she has health insurance and was able to see a doctor. If any of my 2 boys or myself got the Swine FLU, we would have to be without food or pay our wills for a week to see a Dr. Then again maybe she's lying about the swine flu just to get back in the news to raise more money for the hubby
Why is this news worthy? There are thousands of other citizens with the same illness, I dont see Mrs. Wilson's illness being any more important than that of the others. I wish her a speedy recivery, and wish CNN would stop posting such irrelevant stories.
Well, how about that...Fortunately, the Wilsons have government-run health-care.
Hm, I wonder about those people without health care. What do they do if they get seriously ill from H1N1?
Congressman, please remember your wife and the FREE and UNLIMITED healthcare she receives because she is married to you when you are deciding whether or not the rest of us deserve just a fraction of those same benefits.
Hope she shares it with him....spread the love.
Gee, so far only Republicans are getting sick, maybe this IS a plot from the Dems after all...lol!
give it to joe
I wonder what swine she caught it from!!!
I hope she recovers.
As far as mr. wilson is concerned, I have nothing good to say about him!
He represents the best in the GOP...and that says a lot.
Yeah, but he has health care, and since he works for us, and we pay him, we pay for his health care.
He's a JERK and probably in the pocket of Big Business, but I still hope he gets better...
And maybe grows a conscience, a brain and some manners...
Is that too much to ask?
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Wilson have great government health care paid for by the American taxpayers.
I am sure the doctors and the hospital will give Mrs. Wilson wonderful care that the rest of us out here that don't have insurance will never get.
Having just gotten over H1N1 I sincerly wish her a speedy recovery.
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
they have insurance so whats the news here?
I know the swine she might have caugh it from.
I'm too nice to say the obvious-the swine flu is awful so I won't go there.
You Lie! ha...Sounds like a sympathy stretch now that the impeachment is getting close. LOL.
Get well soon wifey!
Looks like the swine likes the elephant. Hope his wife has health insurance, oh wait, she does. Must be nice.
the way he acts, she probably keeps her distance from him most of the time. maybe that is why he is so angry. maybe that is why most republicans are so angry. just are not getting enough. hopefully, she won't need to see the doctor on the taxpayer's dime. oh, wait a minute. that sounds like socialism. can't be can it?
Well ... that's terrible. I hope she recovers.
I hope she makes a complete recovery soon. I can't think of anything else to add about her. That is what this article is about right? Her? Get well soon.
Why is this news??????????
Why does this guy's wife have the ability to get tested for H1N1, when the rest of us with flu like symptoms are told by our doctors that they are no longer doing tests for swine flu?
She gets Swine Flu and her husband Lies like a stuffed pig........how appropriate.
I guess the real swine gave it to her.
Hmmm. Interesting. I wonder how old she is. The New York Times had an article the other day that claimed most people over 50 are just not getting it (the Swine Flu).
I wish her well, I had it a month ago and it is tough. I know she is getting the best of medical care, in a setting were there are no illegals getting health care and everyone has good health insurance. If I were her I would always want Joe to keep his distance anyway, his hate and bigotry might be contagious.
I am sorry that Mrs. Wilson is ill but maybe it had to do with fact that Rep. Joe Wilson, her husband is a pig.
she got the swine flu from the biggest swine in SC...her husband
Is this a joke? His wife is home burning up with fever and body aches and he promises to "whoever" that he won't get near his wife???? That confirms a lot about him calling the president of the US a liar while he is a guest speaker in the House of Representatives. Maybe early dementia??
before any of you liberal know it all's say what I know you are going to you had better think about the karma that will be heading your way...... people are dying from an epidemic that our country can't seem to figure out how to get out to the people who need it.... i find it hard to fathom these so called delays that should not be happening yet the CDC is on every week tallying up the death tolls because of the govt. lackidazical approach to helping it's citizens..... when the manufacturers of the vaccine were asked about the delays they all said that they are on scedule at 95% procuctivity yet they can't figure out how to distribute because the GOVT. is charged to deliver instead of private industry..... and these idiots want to run health care..... give me a break
I guess if he plans on getting the vaccine only after "the majority of the American people" receive it, he's not getting it. He lies!
Well pigs do LIE together (LOL)!
I thought you couldn't catch swine flu from a pig.
along with being Mr. Rudeness I guess we can add Mr. Sensitivity to Wilson's credentials with his saying that he will stay away from his wife. Maybe she could use a little TLC.
Senator Wilson,
Joe, I know we've had our disagreements in the past, but please give Roxanne my best wishes for a speedy recovery.
President Obama, Nobel Laureate
Too easy, too many swine jokes associated with this man.
This is the same beleaguered wife who wanted to know which idiot said "You lie" to the President. Poor woman married to that pol. I hope she recovers quickly – and I sure hope the real Mr. Liar himself doesn't tell her she wasn't really sick from that fabricated "flu" that the administration is foisting off on the public as a pretext for dangerous vaccinations...
Hope she has her papers
Well... I love the kiss of Karma... so sweet...
What's the old saying? "Those who lie down with dogs get up with fleas." Well, those who lie down with swine....
Question will Congressman Wilson take his wife back to S. C. to a private hospital or like the rest of the Congress go to a government run hospital?
Congressman Wilson you "LIE"
This idiot wasn't newsworthy before, he's even less newsworthy now... c'mon CNN.
Her getting swine flu is no surprise, she's married to a pig.
God is sending another Republican a message...
the government is coming for you joe wilson.
the bell tolls for THEE.
Boy Joe, I guess someone up there is listening to our prayers! Hopefully your wife will sneeze on you. But unlike many uninsured Americans your family's insurance is paid through American taxpayer dollars!
I hope Mrs. Wilson has a very light case and recovers soon and that Rep. Wilson does not catch it. I still do not agree with him, but hope that we can all be charitable about this.
I have great sympathy for Mrs. Wilson contracting swine flu. Being married to an insensitive clod like Mr. Wilson, the mouth that yelled "you lie" to President Obama, is enough for one woman to bear. I wish her a speedy recovery.
It is really too bad that this has to happen to great people. I will be praying for his wife as well as Joe! He is a good man and had the balls to stand up and say it when no one else would. This president better sit up and take notice of what is going on around him. He has Communists surrounding him and they are giving him some very bad ideas for this country. A Civil War broke out in America once and it can happen again just as easy. Only this time there are more people who are going to take it seriously and take part....
Don't tell us; people will say he got what he deserves with some saying God is punishing him. CDC states people are contagious one day prior and up to ten days after symptoms start. He got it from someone and is sure to have given to others.
We need more characters like Sanford than Wilson. Sanford is a uniter and Wilson is a divider. If you read the comments under Sanford's article, you will find that everybody is in agreement there. I have never seen any character lately that is so uncontroversial.
She married a swine ...
It was only a matter of time before she would become infected
Well she is married to a pig after all.
God works in mysterious ways!
just wonderful.why do we care who got sick in a congressman personal life ?
although you have to wonder why him ?
Rep Wilson, is it God wantst to protect Pres Obama.......or get YOU!
I sure hope she has health insurance to depend on!
Boy, I sure hope Joe dosen't get it. That would be terrible.
Who cares did this man apologize for making our Country look bad by insulting our President? His wife has better sense than he does. She asked who was the idiot who yelled at the President. He should have gotten it, and I'd better not hear one complaint about his health care...too bad,
she must have got it from her husband and his friends–they look like swine to me!!
Hope she feels better soon.
See what happens when you perpetrate a lie for your own personal gain! Oink
He will keep his distance from his wife when he returns home? He wont get the shot himself until "the majority of the American public receive it"? He is an elected "leader" ? What a jerk and a horrible husband. I guess he's got his priorities in order. For a jerk. And that is a gross understatement.
Best wishes for a speedy recover to Roxanne Wilson. Despite my distaste for Rep. Wilson's behavior and perverse politics, there's no room in civilized society for anything but concern and empathy for another fellow human being in need. Barack Obama taught me that.
Cold, cold "man!" He could wear a surgical mask and gloves and provide a little comfort to his wife. But then, looking at his angry face might not improve her health at all.
Not to worry, Joe–you've got Congressional health insurance. Unlike 47 million of your constituents, you're nicely covered....
Go to bed with a pig you're liable to wake up with Swine Flu.
hope she and he and their four children all get swine flu, lose their insurance coverage, end up in ICU and go bankrupt trying to pay medical bill. jeve
maybe because she married a swine!! haha I kill me
I hope Ms Wilson has health insurance. Oh, that's right, she has that public option insurance through her husband's employer, the Federal government!!
Poor woman. I think she contracted it from sleeping with a pig.
(I do wish her well. Him not so much.)
Why are lawmakers wives being tested.. every news report indicates that test are only for those hospitalized.
We wish you a very speedy recovery. We need bold leaders like you who are not scared to expose the corrupt president and his administration.
Can we just say that Wilson has H1N1 and have hime keep his distance from the American public?
Will she go to a doctor using their health insurance??
Good Lord, she's married to a pig....
MAYBE instead of keeping away from his wife..he will learn to keep his big mouth shut. Love him or hate him..you dont interupt the President of the United States when he is making a speech. Maybe his mom never taught him never to interupt people when they are speaking...
Instant Karma gonna get you,,,,,
Glad to see a Congressman and his wife excercising some good old common sense in keeping distance until the bug passes – rather than risking getting the flu and spreading it given how public his job is. Finally – someone with brains!
Karma bites in the butt
I say let Joe Wilson stand in line at a free clinic to get his shot. I assure you he lacks the courage to do this.
'Wilson said he plans to get the H1N1 vaccination soon, but only after "the majority of the American people" receive it.' (rolling my eyes). I love it when these blowhard Republicans express faux compassion.
He can get the shot but he'll still be a pig!
Sorry to hear that. Hoping for a speedy recovery for Mrs. Wilson.
Kudos to Joe for waiting until it's available to rest of the nation!
Mr. Walden is the only Congressperson *known* to have contracted the H1N1 virus. That does not imply that he's the only one to have contracted it.
Well let's have it. All the hateful angry liberals will get a big kick over this and how she deserved it for being married to Wilson.
Oh gee. She must be human like the rest of us. What a surprise!
When he found out, he shouted at his wife "You lie still!"
The reason she has Swine flu is because she lives with that obnoxious ignorant red-faced piggy.
We all pray for her swift recovery,
You've got to be kidding. This passes for news???
This is news? Get real CNN.
I hope she recovers swiftly! (And Joe - they can cure H1N1, but they can't cure stupid - crack a book, you jokester).
My god! Karma IS real!
She probably caught it from that swine of a husband she has. Get rid of him and you'll clean up the air you breath !
Probably caught it from the swine...
I don't agree with his politics but I wish his wife a speedy recovery and hope that he doesn't contract it too.
Swine must not care who they come into contact with.
Sure am proud for her that SHE has good health care....
Again..it's not 'swine' flu..it's just H1N1
Not surprising she would get swine flu when she kisses a pig every day.
I'm sure they have good health insurance.
The "You Lie Guy" is not worried about getting sick.
The poor woman...perhaps she has been living with a Swine too long.
That's a pre-existing condition. She shouldn't receive any medical treatment.
Only after "the majority of the American people" receive it. Please, spare us all the hypocrisy
So far, only Conservatives in Congress have been connected to swine flu.
Now, we have been assured by America's foremost televangelical theologians that Aids and Katrina were sent by God to punish the gays.
Could it be that God has sent the swine flu to punish Conservatives for the damage they have done to the nation? After all, it is called "swine" flu. Just a thought.
I hope Mrs. Wilson gets well soon.
You reap what you sow – get it? Swine – SOW. Get it? Looks like you got it alright. If everything is relative, you ought to suffer more. PIG.
Joe Wilson "plans to keep his distance from his wife when he returns home this weekend"! Whatever happened to "family values"? I believe that marriage is meant to be "for better, for worse, in sickness and in health." Why won't he be "there" for Roxanne when she is sick?
Karma gets you buddy!
Is this really relavant "News"???
How does CNN expect us to respond? This isn't a ticker-worthy item as it involves someone personally and not politically. Yes, Joe Wilson is a bad person (you can't deny it). It was proven the President didn't lie, Joe did lie, and Joe refused to admit it – that makes him a typical GOPer – so no big deal to his base. And any GOP person who claims to care about money and doesn't want undocumented immigrants covered with this health care reform...try to learn some math. It costs more money to go to the emergency room than to be covered under some type of insurance. If you claim undocumented immigrants don't pay taxes (the rich don't pay taxes – are you mad at them too?), then why are you in support of them using more tax payers money at emergency rooms?
Anyway, Joe's a bad person. I don't know squat about the type of person his wife is. I hope she gets well soon.
Joe, what is your opinion on (viral) evolution? Hopefully you will die from H1N1. Crossing my fingers along with other real Americans. Go flu, go!
Dang. If only Wilson had gotten it himself. Then we could call it karma. Of course, I don't wish for anyone to get seriously ill... Actually, too bad we couldn't spread swine flu to kill off Osama bin Laden. Maybe Kim Jong Il, too. I definately wouldn't be sad if that were to happen.
Get well soon!
You know that old saying... "Lie down with dogs and rise with fleas"
I suppose that applies to swine, too.... wonder who passed it to whom?
