Joe No Show! {Joe Wilson fails to show up for his PBS "News Hour with Jim Lehrer" segment]
Silent Running ^ | July 19, 2004

Posted on 07/19/2004 6:26:14 PM PDT by John Jorsett

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.

girlie-man alert is the first thing that comes to mind.

I believe Arnold has revived a catch phrase, with the help of the homophobia PC police.

I'm guessing he won't show up on O'Reilly anytime soon.

Hmmmm, and people say GW does not know what he's doing. Chess, checkers, I wouldn't take the guy on. I'm just glad he's on my side. So now we have a new nickname, Joe "no show" Wilson.

Fox news announced that Clinton, NSA Sandy Berger stole top secret 911 commission reports? Any info?

Do you think Wilson inadvertently put Berger in his pants, or vice versa?

You are beginning to think like a metro-sexual Democrat. Time for reorientation.

He was busy drinking sweet mint tea and asking people on the street if they have seen any uranium. He probably had a considerable amount of vodka in that tea.

I had my wife put me in for a trip to Niger and after a week of sipping sweet tea with a lot of my old out of work cronies, I can catagorically say that Joe Wilson tells the truth...

LOL. Naaaaw, didn't you hear, old Joe's wife is a glamorous spy. He lets her do the heavy "lifting" while he sips tea. Actually, she is a clerk but old Joe likes to pretend she is "under deep cover". LOL. Increases book sales, dontcha know.

"Hmmmm, and people say GW does not know what he's doing. Chess, checkers, I wouldn't take the guy on. I'm just glad he's on my side. So now we have a new nickname, Joe "no show" Wilson."

GW has a bit of Columbo in him. He comes off as being a bit clutzy but wins in the end. The Dems have not figured this out yet, lets hope they never do.

It appears the "sophisticated elitest diplomats" and "others" in Washington and the world, are learning you can't slap the White House "Tar Baby" around and get away clean....

Other folks have "misunderestimated" President Bush, and laughed at his "strategery"......but we will all see who laughs last....

I don't think I can hold my water-----waiting for a FACE TO FACE debate between Kerry and President Bush.....
Kerry had better be wearing his dependes and bring LOTS of Band-Aids..

Semper Fi
