Novak: The abuse of my integrity provokes this response

Houston Chronicle ^ | July 31, 2005 | Robert Novak

The recent first disclosure of secret grand jury testimony set off a news media feeding frenzy centered on this obscure case. Joseph Wilson was discarded a year ago by the Kerry presidential campaign after the Senate committee reported much of what he said "had no basis in fact."

The re-emerged Wilson is now accusing the senators of "smearing" him. I eagerly await the end of this investigation when I may be able to correct other misinformation about me and the case.

How do Kerry and Berger fit into this?

[GOPJ]

When Fitzgerald is finished, I'm hoping Wilson, Larry Johnson and some State and CIA traitors get what's coming to them.

And the MSM -- for covering.

BTW, my drug of choice these days is ibuprophen! I walk on a mountain ridge nearby, most every day, with Spot, my year old dalmation. Where I will walk five-seven miles, most days, he will run twenty, or more. But my few are tough on my 58 yr old frame. I just try to keep the machinery oiled and working! It helps to justify the steak and baked potatoes, with loads of sour cream and slabs of butter, washed down with a shiraz, cabernet, or merlot!

I took some friends to dinner last year at a place in VA. It's a five staar, and has prices accordingly. By the time we walked out, the bill for the five of us would have fed a small african country for several years. (We ate from a fixed price menu, and had three bottles of wine, and three glasses of good cognac. The bill came into four figures, rather much!) It was good, but it was a one of a kind thing for me. It's one of the things I can afford to walk away from. I'm a good cook, married to a good cook, and yet we like to eat out!!! That's an addiction I can live with! I'll just stay away from those places, and spend the difference on travel!

pageonetoo, your comment shows a natural contempt for conservatives. If you think conservatives are so stupid, why don't you check out the winning party of great intellectuals? Those total winners -- the dems. They never say "gum't". They're sooooo sophisticated. So much better than the great unwashed who are loyal to Rush. (sarcasm off)

Why not spend some time working to elect a gum't that truly is conservative,

[My2Cents]

I wonder how many msm outlets will give this an airing.

I can count them on less than one finger.

This whole deal was a CIA setup. I guess we should be glad that they have at least 'matured' in these years. They no longer assasinate Presidents they don't like as they did JFK. They just mobilize large sections of their manpower to smear them.

Reading between the lines, Hadley or another CIA source told Novak about "Wilson's wife." He learned her name either from the same sources or by using Google or similar Internet search engine. In any event, Hadley probably asked Novak not to identify Plame by name, but Novak understood that this request was meaningless because of Google.

So, what does Judith Miller know that we don't already know from other sources?

[1Old Pro]

What's incredible is how the liberal media is playing this. I've forgotten the exact words but when discussing this are basically re-re-denigrating Novak.

[Lazamataz]

Argh.

You just waved a steak in front of a starving man.

I've cut my calories by anywhere from 700-1300 a day to lose weight. ;^)

.....How do Kerry and Berger fit into this?

Berger was national security adviser for Kerry's presidential campaign. It was rumored Berger would be asked to be Secretary of Defense in a Kerry Administration. Berger was dropped like a hot potato when he was caught stealing and destroying papers from the National Archives, where he was researching his own activities during the Clinton Administration in preparation for a Congressional investigation into their response to the threat of terrorism.

Why do you ask? Am I not seeing something?

[FreeAtlanta]

yes. Art of UN Apologist

[Ditto]

What were 'agents' of the US government, elected, appointed or civil servants doing protecting Saddam/France/UN in the first place?

Hmmmmm? $$$$$$$

Ouch! Sorry, I'll try to make amends...

Of course, it's better with...

Blue cheese dressing!

[prairiebreeze]

Oh gaaack. In the opening scene that I stumbled on, Donald Sutherland was riding around in a limo telling some woman that if things could just go right with (whatever the plot line was) "the UN could turn into a real world power". The woman just nodded in agreement with a dreamy, wistful look on her face.

Total crap, and I immediately applied my remote control.

spit, spit!!

[Lazamataz]

You are evil, you are.

[leadpenny]

"My style? Think Dennis Miller."

Why doesn't that surprise me?*





*That's a compliment to, at least, Dennis.

[leadpenny]

Near Sperryville?

[bray]

All the roads seem to lead right at Mr & Mrs Wilson. They are being investigated for perjury.

Pray for W and Our Amazing Troops

[pageonetoo]

Indeed...

Don't skip the animation!

[leadpenny]

Thanks. Been by there many times as the boys and I hiked Old Rag and other trails around Washington and Sperryville. Never been in the Inn though. Now I'm really hungry.
