Joe Wilson complaining about "character assassination" is like a 2-bit hooker complaining about low morals....
He engaged is a sleazy dishonest campaign of "character assassination" against Pres. Bush and VP Cheney from the start, then complains when the WH made a tiny half-hearted (and not very competent, alas) effort to answer his dishonest onslaught. When will the MSM bother to investigate and report on the the REAL story here?
His and Valerie's morals leave a lot to be desired. He was a married man on the 3rd or 4th date with a woman not his wife Jaqueline, but Valerie Plame, and in a "heavy make-out" session, she 'outed' herself to a blowhard of monumental proportions! They lived together at the Watergate in DC until he was divorced from his wife in 1998, when they married and later moved to their present home. They expect people to believe she was a covert agent at this time?!! The CIA should have 'canned' her for her irresponsible and immoral behavior. A foreign agent could have had a field day with the behavior of the Wilson's. I think both Wilson's think more highly of themselves than they deserve.
