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.
Ping
One sexy lady.
Joe needs to be skinned then drawn and quartered.
Loftus making up a story that a CIA computer spit out his name.
Loftus keeps saying "my sources"
Wilson now relying on the anonymous Newsday attribution.
I guess the Senate Report lied? What B.S.
I'm waiting for either Batchelor or Loftus to ask Wilson about his BIG LIE -- his claim to have seen documents he couldn't possibly have seen....Wait ... they're asking him about it now!.........Hmmm, they just glossed over the LIE in the most hazy way possible. Totally incomprehensible answer. No hardball interview here.
Awww. Too bad the girly man showed up on CNN. But, it looks like he's on the run anyway. Been off-line today, but listening to the news. I found the thread about Sandy's Pants, and now need to go find what FReepers have been saying about Linda Rondstadt being thrown out of Vegas. What a fun day!
Thanks for the ping
Now wait, I'm confused. Is that Linda Ronstadt or Helen Thomas?
Or
I accidently stuffed some classified material in my pants.
hmmmmm
He's back under his rock.
Thanks :) [Columbo waves, leaves thread. . .
. . .comes back a minute later, running after Kerry. . .]
Oh, sir! Mr Kerry, sir! I just remembered something else I meant to ask you--it'll only take a minute of your time, if you'll bear with me, I know you're a busy man and all. . .Say, by the way, does that Botox stuff really work? Mrs. Columbo was saying I should try that, but I dunno, I kinda think my wrinkles make me look more dignified. Then I kinda like the wrinkles in my coat, too, and Mrs. Columbo doesn't care for those either, she says I should take it into the dry cleaner, but I don't understand why, it's only been five years since the last time I took it in. . .Anyway, what I was going to ask you was about this VVAW meeting. I was talking to this guy who says he used to be with the VVAW back when you were and he remembers you being at this meeting where there was some talk about assassinating politicians or something like that. So then I did a little checking with the FBI, and they've got a file that says you were there [pulls out brown paper bag with file in it]. That puzzled me because I've got this article here with a statement from your campaign spokesman saying you weren't at the meeting. Could you help clear that up for me--not that you're under suspicion or anything, don't worry, it's just a routine question I have to ask. . .
fizziwig ~~~ thanks for coming up with that apt comparison! Let's hope that the 'rats continue to believe that the President is a dunce ... they're much more vulnerable that way ... hehe!
I haven't laughed this hard in weeks!
Thanks, LOL! I thought fizziwig's comparison was pretty apt, too :)
Darn! I sure hope so .. I'm so sick and tired of these people.
I've long thought based on Loftus' books that he relies heavily on left-wing sources in the intelligence community. I wonder now how long he's been close to Wilson. . .
LOL!
LoL
Wilson said he was going to be on this hour, but he must ahve left.
Sandy Berger ate his memo.
He was going to be on before he was going to not be on :)
