Ambassador Joe Wilson, announced as a scheduled guest for the Monday, July 19 installment of the News Hour on PBS by Jim Lehrer on Friday, was a complete no show.
To quote Lehrer from approximately 6:04 into the online version of the Shields and Safire segment from Friday - "we're going to have a segment on that with Wilson and a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Monday".
And there was absolutely no mention or explanation of his absence today.
There was a 'which of these things is not like the other' spot on the financial difficulties on Inner City Oakland, California, Schools. There was a re-broadcast of a gay marriage essay from May. But no Joe Wilson. No Senator from the Senate Intelligence Committee.
And no clues from Jim Lehrer.
::Update:: I've sent off an e-mail and web form inquiry to the News Hour staff for comment. I'll post anything I get back.
Only if the news gets out! Otherwise only we, who seek it, know the truth and the media hides it.
Thanks, I usually check Drudge out before I come here but didn't tonight.

I love it when a plan comes together.
And they all fade away into the either, and poor President Bush gets blamed for everything!
- "Rino John" Batchelor, John Kerry promoter John Loftus, a John Kerry (unpaid he claims but Heinz-Kerry pays Wilson's "expenses" and for his website, which just happens to be now dormant, but has very odd HTML and META tags on Wilson's 'EDIT PAGE') campaign advisor [even when he wrote the NYT Op-Eds and did the TV show circuit!] Joe "Yellowcake" Wilson had a revisionist 3-way tonight!
- All stage-managed to refute the Senate Report and the WP expose of Joe Wilson and his fakeroo CIA Secret Agent wifey, Valerie Plame.
Mister Ambassador, you said you knew the documents were forgeries because the names were wrong and the dates were wrong--
But I still can't figure out how you knew that eight months before the documents surfaced.
You see my problem here, I'm sure there's something I'm overlooking, and it'll hit me in the middle of the night.
Well, I won't take up any more of your valuable time, you've been a great help, really.
That's what he did to Wold Bltzer on Sunday, who in fairness asked the right questions.
But Joe Wilson could teach even Bill Clinton a few things about circular, fact-free evasive non-answers.
The night before Saddam Hussein was captured hiding in a hole in the ground John Loftus was still insisting that our bombs and missles Killed Saddam and his two sons early in the Iraq War.
"Unimpeachable sources" Loftus insisted for months on end!
After Hussein's two sons were killed by our troops John Loftus still claimed he had 100% valid confidential info that Saddam was killed in that early bomb and missile strike.
John Loftus is a shill for the democrat party masquerading as an American James Bond.
John Batchelor is a contrarian who will say or do anything to sell a book or keeep his WABC 770am NYC talk radio gig.
His buddies include those running "The Nation" like his neighbor Van der Whorvel.
Note Batchelor's family is up in Maine and he is always in NYC.

BONUS: NY Post sez National Archive videos of Sandy Berger stuffing his shorts to enhance his "package"......?
Talk about a "short(s) documentary"!
LOL! Excellent :) I love the look on the crook's face after Columbo leaves the room after saying something like that--would love to see that look on Wilson's face :)
Thanks for the ping!
I loved the Columbo TV Series..... ROFL!!!
odd. someone that was the biggest self aggrandizing media
hound in the history of misinformation is suddenly invisible.
Say it ain't so Joe.
