------------------------------------------------------ The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC ------------------------------------------------------
First up, fall out from the Wilson reprimand. Yesterday, the House of Representatives formally sanctioned Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) for his disruption during the President's joint session. Former President Jimmy Carter commented that Wilson's outburst is based on racism. Could this turn into a political loser for the White House? Atlanta Journal-Constitution Political Columnist Cynthia Tucker and Syndicated Columnist Kathleen Parker join us to analyze the political outcome.

Today, Senator Max Baucus released his anticipated Finance Committee version of health care reform that lacks the public option. Can this version of the bill bring Republicans and Democrats together? We'll play Hardball with Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) on the Baucus Bill and the hope for health care reform.
