Joe Wilson Details His Affair with CIA Wife

He says the Bush administration violated his wife's privacy by revealing that she worked for the CIA.

But now Spygate accuser Joseph Wilson is sharing with reporters intimate details about his relationship with the allegedly secretive Valerie Plame, offering an account of the couple's "heavy make-out" session just before she told him she worked for the CIA.

Wilson, who said recently he would have sacrificed anything to guard his wife's privacy, offers the steamy details in the Jan. 2004 issue of Vanity Fair magazine.

The move has even supporters wondering if he's blown his credibility as a White House whistleblower just as the Justice Department rachets up the investigation into his claims.

Based on Wilson's recollections, Vanity Fair reports:

"Meeting in Paris, London and Brussels, [the relationship between Plame and Wilson] got very serious, very quickly. On the third or fourth date, he says, they were in the middle of a 'heavy make-out' session when she said she had something to tell him."

Wilson said that at that point his date interrupted their steamy tryst and decided to come clean. "She was, she explained, undercover in the CIA."

"It did nothing to dampen my ardour," he told VF. "My only question was: Is your name really Valerie?"

Wilson's decision to go public with details from his wife's sex life prompted dismay at the Washington Post, where editors have been trying to sell his complaint that the Bush White House blew his wife's cover as a serious national security scandal.

"Capitol Hill aides in both parties said Wilson had badly hurt his credibility with his apparently enthusiastic participation in a spread in the January issue of Vanity Fair," the Post complained last month.

"The article includes Wilson's steamy account of his early romance with Plame," the paper noted. "Congressional aides said the article bolstered the contention of Wilson's critics that no one had done more than him to draw attention to Plame, and that the couple had eagerly contributed to their celebrity."

Mr. Wilson himself seemed unfazed by the apparent conflict, telling the Post that his only complaint was that his wife "had to be clothed as generic blonde" in Vanity Fair photos to protect her identify.

Despite volunteering his wife for a new round of publicity, Wilson's allegation that her privacy had been violated is still being taken seriously at the Justice Department, which appointed a special prosecutor to review the case last week.

The man is pathetic

[beaversmom]

I don't know if this is true, but I heard he likes to flash around nude photos of his wife too.

A few observations about Mr. Wilson:

1. His campaign for the democratic party agenda is so blatent I wonder why anyone takes him seriously.

2. The few times I heard him on television news before muting him or changing channels, he came across as the typical pansy wimp state department pantywaste.

3. This latest revelation about his "torrid affair" comes off as too strident. Is he trying to convince everyone (and himself) of his manliness? Perhaps the man is trying to cover his real homo tendencies.

Joe Wilson is a fraud

So much for trying to protect her privacy...

[Lucky2]

Joe Wilson is a joke and so is his wife. She needs the boot out of the CIA. She can't possibly be an effective spy.

Pretty easily compromised, eh? IMO not fit for CIA undercover, unless you want to redefine "undercover".

How much for the woman?

[Joe Boucher]

This punk Wilson is anti Bush to the hilt. I wouldn't be suprised if he were the boob to have leaked the fact that his wife worked as an analist for the c.i.a. to embarass the Bush folks.
Guy is an idiot and his bozo wife is too.

On the third or fourth date!!! What if this had been a Russian honey trap? This woman was easy! The question now is: "Was Joe the only lover she told?"

[elbucko]

Joe Wilson is a fraud.

I think so too. He was sent to Africa to assess the manufacture of basic nuclear materials, the infamous, "Yellow Cake". He spent the whole mission he was charged with in the comfort of his hotel and sent some local lackey to do the investigating. Wilson should be fired.

Bingo...

I believe the investigation is headed generally in this direction, which is why Ashcroft has recused himself.

How objective of them.

CIA agents should not let passions of the flesh temp them into blowing their cover, or anything else; especially after only the fourth date.
