Thanks. I've been so out of the loop I even missed this story.

Arnold Schwarzenegger paid a surprise visit to "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," where he poked fun at the late-night host for appearing bored during his victory speech.

In a walk-on during Mr. Leno's monologue Wednesday, California's governor-elect showed a clip of the host checking his watch after introducing Mr. Schwarzenegger at a celebration the previous night.

"You looked at your watch. I cannot believe it," Mr. Schwarzenegger joked, as Mr. Leno fumbled with an excuse. "Just remember, never call me, and I'm going to check right away your tax returns when I get up to Sacramento," said the actor, who announced he was running for governor on Mr. Leno's show in August.

I wish Arnold much luck, he's going to need it. But I think that because of his personality, that he's not a career pol who would probably move on after he's fixed things, he's got a good chance to help Calyforneeah. :-)

Who 'Blew' Mrs. Wilson's Cover?

The liberal press and the Democrat demagogues on Capitol Hill are having a hissy fit over "who blew the cover of Joe Wilson's wife." The answer is not hard to find. The culprit was Joe Wilson IV—with some help from his wife. When Wilson wrote an op-ed in The New York Times in July and revealed that he had gone to Niger on a CIA assignment, he called attention to his wife. CIA people who are really undercover are very careful about not identifying themselves or their families with the agency. They wait until their children are old enough to keep their mouths shut before revealing, even to them, that they are CIA officers. Wilson listed his wife's maiden name in the biography he put on the web site of the Middle East Institute.

When a CIA officer under deep cover is assigned to a hostile country, he knows that the enemy counter-intelligence service will do a background check. Any involvement of a relative with the CIA will endanger the officer's cover. Mrs. Joe Wilson also helped shred her cover when she made a contribution to the Al Gore for President campaign and listed her cover company in the Federal Election Commission filing. If she were ever posted overseas under cover, that would provide the hostiles with a lead to unravel her CIA connection. More
