Joe Wilson Details His Affair with CIA Wife
NewsMax ^ | 12/16/03 | Limbacher

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.

I'm sure he blew something.

Yeah, that's what I noticed. Pretty early in a relationship to be telling it, I would think.

I've used some slight poetic license to "spice up" the story:

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, actually a man."

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

"No", she answered, "actually, it's Larry."

"...Boy, three dates and this lady starts spewing national secrets."

...are we to assume he was the first?

Or the last? He says she is a leaker with high-mileage.

Any adult that would use the expression "heavy make-out session" lacks any credibility, IMHO.

So, what was it? Just "necking", or "heavy petting"?!

Or was she "the spy that shagged him"?!

BwahahahahaHA!!

(this is a joke, and a complete waste of the Fed's time...unless they're undercover, and the Wilson-Plame "investigation story" is just that... a "cover story"...hmmmm...)

I had a cousin who was covered by the state department for years. He had to come out of the cold when his son wanted to work there (anti-nepotism law).

However, that Wilson could not see the potential damage involved with a comment like this, speaks volumes about him.

When are we going to get the Valerie Plame centerfold?

"Boy, three dates and this lady starts spewing national secrets."

It would not surprise me if there wasn't a requirement for agents to report relationships of this type to the agency so that a security check could be run on the other party before the agent's identity could be revealed. If so, there might be a record of this (or lack thereof) in Plame's personnel file.

Sheesh. First, she tells a guy she scarcely knows that she's working "undercover" for the CIA. Then, the jerk she's told, tells the world in Vanity Fair. She's not much of a spy, and he's certainly no gentleman. I hope she gets fired, and that he's proven to be the fraud I suspect he is.
