Joe Wilson admits wife was not undercover when identified
Wolf Blitzer - CNN Transcripts ^ | 7/14/2005 | Macsmind

Posted on 07/14/2005 8:15:17 PM PDT by macsmind76

BLITZER: But the other argument that's been made against you is that you've sought to capitalize on this extravaganza, having that photo shoot with your wife, who was a clandestine officer of the CIA, and that you've tried to enrich yourself writing this book and all of that.

What do you make of those accusations, which are serious accusations, as you know, that have been leveled against you.

WILSON: My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity.

BLITZER: But she hadn't been a clandestine officer for some time before that?

WILSON: That's not anything that I can talk about. And, indeed, I'll go back to what I said earlier, the CIA believed that a possible crime had been committed, and that's why they referred it to the Justice Department.

She was not a clandestine officer at the time that that article in Vanity Fair appeared. And I have every right to have the American public know who I am and not to have myself defined by those who would write the sorts of things that are coming out, being spewed out of the mouths of the RNC...

WILSON: That's not anything that I can talk about...

Now the media needs to attack him like have been poor Scott McClellan the past few days.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT? YOU WROTE ABOUT IT IN YOUR BOOK! DO YOU STILL STAND BY IT? COME ON! COME ON! ARE YOU GOING TO PRINT A RETRACTION? YOUR GOING TO STAND THERE AND SAY YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT? BLAH BLAH BLAH!"

Joe's a guy who used specific language for 20 years

That's gives it away, doesn't it?

We know he's not dumb, we know he's articulate and precise, yet in this matter and in referencing Niger he's unusually vague and contradictory.

Yet the NBC nitely nudes reported with a strait facade that she WAS undercover when identified!!! And they wonder why their credibility, ratings and ad revenue are floundering around the the doldrums!!!

WILSON: Well, it was a statement that I'd made at a meeting in Seattle. And as my wife later told me, she thought I'd gone a little over the top, so I took the handcuffs off. But I believed then and I believe now that -- and I know that Karl Rove was, in fact, engaged in pushing the Novak story, including calling a reporter and saying, "Wilson's wife is fair game." ...

BLITZER: But you don't want to name that reporter who told you that?

WILSON: It was Chris Matthews of "Hardball.

OOOPS, Now Chris Matthews will have to go testify.... my my what a tangled web we weave...

Is it possible, that this Wilson thing is not turning out as planned.

Memogate pales in comparison to this latest MSM/DNC debacle. Oh well, that's what happens when you hire amateurs like the Wilsons.

Do ya think the NYT will demand a refund?

Then she becomes undercover again, the second before Rove or someone talks about her. It's like a superpower or something.

She's like Wilson's shadow. He can't step on her, but Rove did. Apparently. Somehow.

Okay, it's time to look at the scoreboard:

1) Dems launch "national guard-gate" against Bush in 2000. Dems lose.
2) Dems launch "Bush lied" propaganda war in 2002-03. Dems lose.
3) Dems launch "Vietnam Hero Kerry" in 2004. Dems lose.
4) Dems launch "national guard-gate" part 2 in 2004. Dems lose.
5) Dems launch "Rove is a crook" in 2005. Dems lose.

I think I am beginning to see a pattern here.
