The guy next to "you lie" guy

The Web is full of pictures of President Obama and the South Carolina Republican who shouted "You lie!" during Obama's health care address to a joint session of Congress last night.
But if my eyes don't deceive me, that's Wheaton Republican Peter Roskam sitting next to the shouter.
Waiting to hear from Roskam on what he thought about it. He's probably glad the guy didn't point to Roskam when everyone turned and looked to see who shouted.

And here it is:
"I was thoroughly disappointed to hear a member of Congress interrupt the President in that fashion. Congressman Wilson shouldn't have treated the President of the United States that way. It's my understanding he called the White House to apologize and they accepted his apology. Hopefully we can now move on from this and get back to debating the major issue of reforming healthcare."
