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.

If you just work for the CIA in a normal capacity it is OK to "kiss and tell." Lots of folks told me the same info when I lived in D.C. (sans the kissing). However, if she was indeed an "undercover agent" she might get frog-walked as a result of revealing this info to makeout artist Joe on the third date.

I have no doubt Wilson is working a Washington partisan scam. He's the enemy. But still, is there not a human side of this that is genuine? I have no problem with there being a certain amount of trust after three dates.

I spent 28 years as a Naval Intelligence Officer. My wife still doesn't know about some thing in which I was involved. Pillow talk is not necessary unless you are one of those trying to impress!

He is still blowing loads all over the place. Um...You might want to rephrase that.

My wife still doesn't know about some thing in which I was involved. Especially if it involved having carnal relations with Petra Verkaik. You definitely would want to keep mum on that. It's your patriotic duty.

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 article is called The Spy Who Shagged Me.

I have two members of my family that I am positive work for the CIA: getting them to admit it is not possible......and you know I have tried! If you're from the backwoods of Appalachia, you might want to try "heavy make-out sessions" to get such info.

Does any one else get the feeling that if we surfed swinger websites that pictures of Victoria and Joseph Wilson would be popping up all over the place? These people give me a creepy feeling.

Well I don't like to see money wasted. This was a non-issue to begin with. This country has got far more serious issues to deal with and face than sex-pot Valerie Plame. This woman and her fawning husband are nothings. But maybe if it makes the Democrats look like idiots once again, it might be worth it a little.

To: Tumbleweed_Connection
When a couple is always on stage, with their very special love, it's usually a sign that all is not well. They are trying to convince themselves, as well as the helpless public.
Parallels to the Clinton beach samba should be noted.

Now, THAT'S FUNNY !

Wilson, for the first time in his life, finds that he is onstage, and he is doing everything he can to keep from departing. This "spy scandal" is completely overblown but Wilson just can't let go.

During this make-out session Wilson was married to "Jacqueline" who as far as I can figure out in the Vanity Fair article, is or was a French diplomat. For real? This is a very interesting little tidbit.

Yeah, and we are supposed to trust this bafoon in going to Niger to ask around about some illegal yellowcake? I think Valerie Plame needs to be investigated for sending her dippy husband on something like that in the first place. Not to mention the circus they have made since the trip.

"When are we going to get the Valerie Plame centerfold?"
Probably just as soon as Mrs. Wilson can find someone to babysit the twins while she's posing. I honestly do NOT see how this secret, undercover spy has ANY time left to do spying...with three-year old twins to chase.

IN one place the article mentions he married a woman in the 1980's connected to the French Embassy in an African country. In another place it mentions her name as Jacqueline.
the VF article has some interesting "tidbits" which the author rotely mentions, but gives little detail or follow-up. Like Wilson, in his private business role, was seeking (when?) gold mining franchise from the same Niger govt. he exonerated, sort of, from UN sanctions busting activities related to uranium.
