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.

So John, perhaps you could explain why you think this pedestrian bit of information is actually a worthy discussion topic? Because I'm not exactly seeing it.

It's interesting because Joe Wilson is now a well-known politician, and a controversial one at that. The news covers all kinds of stories, you know, including a few simply out of public interest.

And how does that translate into a discussion topic? What exactly is there to discuss?

"Joe Wilson's wife is sick."

"Oh. Well, I hope she gets better soon."

"So, uhm... how about that Yankees/Angels game?"

You are discussing it. So, unless you are admitting to enjoying wasting your valuable time and have nothing better in your life to do, it must be worth discussing.

AND, Joe should follow doctors' advice and stay home from work to avoid possibly spreading the disease.
