I am not sure what a near non-event is, but his apology was eventful, to the point, and to the person who accepted it. As for his insult to House rules, his calculated refusal not to "apologize" is no more political than Pelosi's call to censure him.

Certainly the Dems are making a political calculation by serving this rebuke, but there's no argument that they are fully within their bounds by doing so-spence

And Wilson is fully within his bounds to let them politic. It may all the more endear him to his constituency. It seems that he has more than doubled the inflow of campaign money compared to his rival since the insult to congress.
