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.
Oh, he got PLENTY of phone calls, believe me. The whole liberal media network went into meltdown mode yesterday after that interview because they knew Wilson had just blown the whole wad. Chris Lehane probably had a coronary. The NYT had to be especially pissed because he blew their lede in their "big scoop" story today, which calls Plame once again a "covert CIA operative." The conservative talk radio hosts were all over this today and all of them played the clips of the interview. I've heard it four times today just while driving around. And no, I was not confused at all Mr. Wilson! I heard exactly waht you said! She was not covert! Game over! Do not pass GO! Do not collect 200 dolaars!
Wilson has the other genitalia.
Wilson comes to realize that to be a dishonest liberal and get away with it takes the power of the Presidency, which is an office he doesn't hold.
Perhaps his respect for the "comeback kid" is dwindling....
Wilson's doing a pretty good job of that right now. We get to see it televised.
This reminds me so much of the movie "Dave," when Bob Alexander throws the huge party to watch President Mitchell squirm in front of Congress, only to have Mitchell reveal that Alexander was behind the whole savings and loan scam and he had the papers to prove it. The next scene showed Alexander sitting in his living room all alone. That's how I imagine Joe Wilson today. Or maybe as Norma Desmond vainly crying the she is ready for her closeup now!
Actaully that's a standard dimocrat line (ala Bill Clinton), and you seem to have it down pat.
We should encourage him...especially if Democrats running for office next year are still willing to appear with him (Wilson).
Democrats, especially the hard-core Left, are going to be quite slow in realizing that their story is about to run the other way. At this point in time we can still probably *agree* with most of the leftists who want Wilson to get more airtime.
By all means. Videotape what he says for posterity. The Left won't figure out that he's poison for some time still.
It sounds so Kerry
I mean, I really hate the lies, and think something serious needs to be done to stop them, but this Wilson fool really makes me laugh for some reason........
Yes... he clarified she "used to " be streetwalker.
I've got a great title for it:
"THE SPY WHO HAD TWINS" or how about
"You Can Have Your Yellowcake and Eat It, Too"
A theory - that explains it ALL.
Suppose Novak told the prosecutor, Fitzgerald, that Judith Miller had told him about Valerie Plame, by name, and that he'd also heard this from Miller. And that he'd confirmed this with Rove.
Valerie Plame Wilson - CIA
Joseph C. Wilson IV, The New York Times, Judith Miller - CYA
"dishonest liberal"
REDUNDANCY ALERT
A clown that lacks the realization that the MSM is struggling with credibility issues that, by far, dwarf his own credibility issues.
