Put my 3GS two week old I-Phone in the wash...had a form fit cheap rubber case on it, as well as a plastic overlay on the screen- the phone still works! The display, however, looks a little gnarly...I've been drying it out under a fan for 3 days, but the display background is still mottled, from water or soap residue. Any suggestions, beside ' Don't be so stupid, Washie'?

Take it apart and clean it. Once you're inside you'll have a better idea what needs to be done.

if you take it apart, there's a chance the LCD may dry out fully.
I've put a cellphone through the wash too - fortunately not my iPhone but instead a cheap flip phone. At first it didn't work and the LCD had water under the top glass. But I fully disassembled it and let the parts dry for almost a week. The water inside the screen eventually cleared, and when I reassembled the phone it worked again. so maybe by taking out your iPhone's LCD module there's a chance it will dry completely.
good luck
