Right on. Thank you. I read Plame was bragging about her CIA connection to all her neighbors and friends. Her husband and any reporter claiming otherwise is simply lying.
"Congress and Administration that gives me about 75% of what I want, and listen to me on the other 25%"
I can see your point. I am, however, a Libertarian. Watching Bush, who I thought was at least conservative, push forward bills like the Patriot Act --incorporating all of Reno's wish list, like "know your customer" which we defeated during Clinton's admin-- and passed by a Republican Congress are very disconcerting to me.
Good question for fat tim. Here's another one for Valerie...Did you not violate your own security form when you told Joe on your 3rd DATE that you were a spy for the CIA?
OK. Question.
We know Mrs. Wilson, who works in the CIA WMD division, knew her husband had gone to Niger. We can also safely assume she knew what he reported upon his return...that in fact there HAD been an effort by Iraq to initiate secret trade negotiations with Niger.
So then Mrs. goody goody spy sits back and listens to her husband MIS-REPORT what he told the agency. Since we're so caught up in the law here, did she have any obligation to contact whoever in the CIA and correct the record??? Has anyone asked THAT?
FNC just had a Michael Varone (I think) an he said Mr. Wilsons credibility is zero.
Mr. Wilson said solemnly in his book that his wife recomended against him doing the Niger trip when in fact SHE was the one who recomended him. (despite his ignorace about the issue of WMDs)
Mr. Wilsn is just and expendable operative, the real question is WHO IS MR WILSONS'S HANDER? WHERE IS MRS WILSON? Why is the MSM not asking her any questions?
How about have you been undercover in the last five years?
How about asking her about the passage in Mr. Wilson's book?
Well it's only fair when it's four or five of them to one of us. And Rush would say with half our brain tied behind our back. LOL. Amen.
Last I read, Wilson never left the hotel in Niger. Various ministers came to him there and told him nothing was going on.
"What Republicans SHOULD be demanding is a complete accounting from Joe Wilson of who bankrolled his attack on President Bush?"
Totally agree!
The Pubbies need to do a much better job of demanding answers to a variety of accusations and spins by the Dims. The Dims and the MSM keep throwing slime out hoping something will stick. I appreciate the fact that Pubbies like to present themselves as measured, thoughtful individuals and not come off like the shreiking, shrill, loud-mouth Dims, but, they need to start nipping some of these Dim accusations in the bud instead of letting them take over the news and what they're supposed to be doing in congress. I understand that's difficult due to the MSM getting their stories from the DNC talking points. But, the Pubbies need to get their talking points together and get them out sooner, get on the offensive instead of being on the defensive, and keep repeating the talking points and questions (just like the Dims do).
Hey Mo1 that's a hell of a point, of course Wilson has.
So Wilson going public in the NYT with a op-ed full of lies about classified infomation was the first violation in this entire non scandal.
You don't have Russert's email address so we can ask him that question direct do you?
All excellent questions that beg an answer.
FINALLY! FNS is coming on now.....
I agree but the TV media will never admit to that due to ratings. In Britain however at least our newspapers do not hide where they stand politically even down to endorsing which party they support in an election. People in Britain have 2 criteria on which they purchase their daily newspaper 1)Sport coverage for their particular interest 2) Political persuasion and sport wins hands down. You can get a right or left wing person buy a paper opposing their political views if they are the best one for their sport.
So Felt's daughter is a post-hippy-dippy-commune spanish teacher now SoCal suburban mom who keeps her senile and lonely dad in the converted garage. Felt's son is a retired AF Colonel who keeps his mouth shut. (honorable, especially given circumstances).
Please consider who is doing the interview of Mr. Barone. Kiran Chetry is a left-wing Democrat. She just called Press Secretary Scott McClellan a liar. She's always ready to do a hatchet job on Republicans.
Fox is one step away from CNN if they hire any more like her.
His way-foppish hairdo.
His children are named Trevor, Sabrina, Samantha and Joseph IV.
Although we don't know the source of their income, they live in one of the toniest neighborhoods in DC.
He runs a mysterious "consulting" company with clients of questionable reputation.
They are currently remodelling their kitchen in a French style.
Wilson's language is overly dramatic, like he thinks he is in a movie.
They serve baked brie and grapes to an interviewer (Vanity Fair).
He is absolutely the most annoying person to hit the airwaves in some time. Plus, he is a LIAR
"she is history. She knows it as well."
If she hadn't lied in the last election on how she would vote, she would have been history then.
She's a "covert agent" and they don't want to blow her "cover." I read here about how CNN actually pixelated her face in a photo they showed of her and Wilson last week, a photo that's probably been seen 100 million times on the Internet in it's original form. One of the funniest things I ever heard of.
