That is indeed strange. The Vanity Fair article stated,
"The Wilsons live in the Palisades, an affluent neighborhood of Washington, D.C., on the fringe of Georgetown. In winter, when the trees have no leaves, the back of their house has a stunning view of the Washington Monument. They’d first seen the house in 1998, when it was still being built, and they had instantly fallen in love with it. Even so, Plame took some persuading before they made an offer. “She’s very frugal,” explains Wilson. “My brother who’s in real estate had to fly in from the West Coast and explained that a mortgage could cost less than our rented apartment in the Watergate.” Plame also told Wilson that she’d be moving with him into the new house only as his wife."<.p
Records show that Wilson and his second wife, Jacqueline, to whom he was married for 12 years, were divorced in 1998. By the mid-90s, Wilson says, that relationship had pretty much disintegrated. “Separate bedrooms-and I was playing a lot of golf,” he says."
This does get curiouser and curiouser. How did they come up with the money for the house (they were renting at the Watergate) and were they (Valerie) the first occupants? Since Wilson got divorced in 1998, it is odd that she would be listed as the owner of the property.
It sure does. I've also wondered about whether Wilson still has some financial ties with his ex-wife, since they both seemed to remain on good terms with Omar Bongo after the divorce.
Thanks a bunch. I'm learning a lot. Wonder why the MSM never tells us these interesting tidbits?
