(Clown) Wilson clarifies comment about wife's C-I-A role

Posted on 07/15/2005 1:53:20 PM PDT by golfboy

WASHINGTON The husband of the C-I-A agent whose cover was blown is clearing up some confusion over a comment he made to C-N-N.

Joseph Wilson said yesterday that his wife, Valerie Plame, "was not a clandestine officer the day Bob Novak blew her identity."

Today, he says he was only pointing out that once her identity was blown, his wife lost her ability to be a covert agent. He says he wasn't suggesting that she had stopped working undercover for the C-I-A beforehand.

Wilson is continuing his attack on White House adviser Karl Rove, for discussing his wife with columnist Novak and Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper. The discussion came just days after Wilson had written in The New York Times that some of the administration's intelligence on Iraq's nuclear weapons was twisted to exaggerate the threat.

IF she fingers a journalist, she is finished in this business. And if she fingers a Rat, well, she's finished in this business.

If she goes to jail she is finished period.

Or is she?.....

I hope that Joey Buttafuoco will forgive me for saying this..
Joey Wilson is the Joey Buttafuoco of the political world.

Joseph C. Wilson IV began to help the Kerry campaign in May 2003. Even a very short summary of his activites reveals his overinflated sense of self-importance.

Spouse of Outted CIA Officer Signs on with Kerry February 14, 2004.

 Since signing onto the Kerry campaign, Mr. Wilson has joined forces with Win Without War, an antiwar group that charges President Bush misled Americans about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction capabilities. The group has collaborated with moveon.org, [snip]

Addressing Kerry supporters in an Iowa rally in December, Mr. Wilson called Vice President Dick Cheney a "lying son of a bitch" [snip]

"I think I can call these guys in the White House liars a little more easily than John [Kerry] can, and talk about the people around the president much more directly -- name names and say they ought to be fired," he said in November.

 In May 2003, after his mission to Niger but before his July 6, 2003, Times op-ed piece, Mr. Wilson began working for Mr. Kerry as an unpaid adviser, offering foreign policy advice and speechwriting tips.

At the top of the show when they mentioned "impeachment" I figured they were talking about Bush. When they finally got to the story and it was Rove, I fell off my chair....with laughter!!!!!

Twenty years or so ago when I was a kid I was under the impression that elected officials were grown-ups, now I am not so sure.

Oh, they have completely lost it. Just when you think they can't possibly get any crazier, they do.

The rats are on a sinking ship, that is listing too far to the LEFT. Soon they will be crawling "uphill" on the upper decks.

Wait til they find out there aren't enough lifeboats.

Thank you my FRiend.

My apologies for promoting my utmost trust and defense of the MSM when I should in fact be promoting the ideal of freedom of speech and individual freedom. /s

"Mr. Wilson realized he stepped in it yesterday, and now wants to 'clarify'!"

Yeah, but his clarification of yesterdays clarification that was a clarification of his original LIE about how Valerie was going to DIE DIE DIE cause she is a super duper, to secret agent lady and Rove should be FROG MARCHED FROG MARCHED FROG MARCHED to JAIL JAIL JAIL.

"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."

The question after that question was what journalist use as clarifying questions. If that wasn't what he meant he would not have passed on the second question because the 2nd question would have been the same as the first.

Hey Nathan, welcome to FR, by the way.

I thought Cabrini Green was closed up? Did they just re-name it something else.

You are a brave man. I remember getting lost after a Bull's playoff game back in 94. It was pouring down rain (thank God) and we got lost. Ended up right outside of Cabrini Green and I nearly sh!t my pants!

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

Lugs, dude, I know you've been having a terrible time of it these last 24 hours, but you look silly talking about "context" when Wilson says, flat-out, "My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity."

You're spinning as much as Wilson was. Your protests that you're just looking for the truth are as sad as his.

You don't like Rove; don't let that get in the way of your ability to read/listen.
