Call a Democrat President a liar in Congress, you get censured. Call a Republican President a liar in Congress, well, not so much.
While censuring Joe Wilson today may be red meat for The Left/Mainstream Media, it will do little more than point out the Democrat's hypocrisy and solidify an unknown GOP back-bencher into the Conservative Cause Celeb. The smart play for the Democrats would be to accept Wilson's initial apology, let this go, and not give Flyover Country another issue for 2010.

The "smart play"? Come now! When have the Democrats ever shown a proclivity for the "smart play"?
(The president could slow down... stop demonizing his opponents... explain carefully and honestly why he thinks his healthcare plan is a really neato idea... and frankly I think that *politically* he would win the day.)
Neither have the Republicans lately, Rick. (cough)John McCain for President (cough)
The ability to be blinded and seduced by your own propaganda, and the inability to even consider the notion that you might be wrong (and the other folks right) are hallmarks of both parties nowadays.
