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.

" Do you get the feeling something BIG is going down??"

We can only hope!! The thing is, though, it may happen, but will the public hear about it? The alphabet media won't mention it, neither will the NYT, etc.

I hope you are right, and I'm just being pessimistic. Clinton or his crowd have done so many things, and nothing or very little comes of it.

As I said, I hope you are right, and it's played to the hilt, or at least stays in the spotlight as long as the Laci Peterson and Kobi Bryant cases have.

Joe was last seen slinking out of town with his ears hung low and his tail 'tween his legs.

JOE LIAR


Joe Wilson's cover has been blown. For the past year, he has claimed to be a truth-teller, a whistleblower, the victim of a vast right-wing conspiracy — and most of the media have lapped it up and cheered him on.

Why, Howlin, you'd think he was perhaps afraid to answer any pointed questions! Like, "why are you such a liar, Joe?" Bwahahahaha!

Did something else come out today about Joe W.? Or is in relation to the same stuff from weeks ago?

Can't believe he didn't show up! He was on CNN Sunday with Wolf Blitzer trying to lie his way out of everything.

Well gee I can't for the life of me understand why he would want to take this chance to clear his name. I'm starting to think he might of been...less than truthful.

Between Joe Liar, and Sandy Burger stealing and destroying 9-11 commission evidence, it's going to get real interesting for the DemoRats!

Perhaps he is consultation with his lawyers as is Sandy Berger.

If only they needed to be. The media acts as lawyers for these criminal Clinton goons.

Was this the creep who spoke before the CA Commonwealth Club last week? I listened to the entire speech and Q & A. This guy is like the father of all liars. Amazing. And when he was asked how he and his wife are doing, he said they are having to live off of his book. Shameless plug. Sheeeeesh.
