Some good questions from Wolf.

But he'll go the other way next time he interviews Wilson.

[Williams]

The real absurdity is if his wife was a secret CIA official and sent him on a mission, WHY would she let him go on a national speaking tour blabbing the whole thing to undermine US policy? Plus letting him lie about it. She must be an absolutely irresponsible, despicable person.

[Williams]

I just can't get over all this missing teh forest for teh trees. Blitzer is asking him "How well was she known before your trip to Niger?" Somebody should just say "Come on! This is your own damn wife! She sent you on the mission and then let you go on every news show and college campus lying about it. How could she possibly expect her role to remain secret? Instead, they let her off scott free. I want her fired.

[Siena Dreaming]

I believe I read that someone from the WH said the other day that it was time to go after Wilson.

In the pic it looks like they have had to use extra pancake makeup on Wilson to soak up the sweat beads on his forehead.

Gonna be fun.

Ah, she's wearing her "serious" glasses again. LOL

Katie is such a great journalist, really digging for the information:

"Would you say the President is a moron?"
"Are you disappointed that the country elected such a corrupt administration?"
"Women and children are obviously going to suffer. Do you think the president cares?"
"The American people clearly wish John Kerry had been elected. Would we be better off if that had happened?"
"Some people say the press is blatantly biased. What makes those people think their opinion matters?"

[go-ken-go]

"INTERNATIONAL SPY MUSEUM'? He actually said the picture could end up in a spy museum? sounds like something from scrappleface.. this guy is a phony.

[Asfarastheeastisfromthewest...]

Couric finally got to a mild challenge: "During the last two years your integrity has been questioned, your character, there, has been questioned as well. There have been suggestions that your wife was in fact responsible for dispatching you to Niger, that you and she have a vendetta, some kind of personal political vendetta against the Bush administration. That you actually introduced her to parties as, 'Your CIA wife,' and therefore divulged her identity yourself. And that your report about the sale of uranium by Niger to Iraq was actually inconclusive and that the Vice President never saw this report. So I guess that raises the question, do you have some kind of personal vendetta against the Bush administration? Do you want the Bush administration to fail?"

So if you ever wanted an Exhibit A example of how media bias is carried out, here it is. Couric starts of in this line of questioning by making it seem that she is being fair and unbiased and asking the tough questions ....... and look what happens. At the end of these questions, does she actually follow any of them up? Of course not, they are all collectively dropped like a hot potato and Wilson instead was offered up another softball to smear the WH. A not too subtle slick sleight of hand interview was pulled off here, Katie. And did everybody notice that Wilson did not take the opportunity to correct all these 'misconceptions' and 'suggestions' that Couric rhetorically outlined? Joe Wilson is a confirmed liar through and through and yet somehow Couric couldn't have tried harder to make it seem like she was being oh so sensitive to his ‘terrible encounter with the dastardly deeds by the White House’ (to satisfy the leftist audience) while giving the pretense of being ‘the tough interviewer in the controversial areas’, (to make sure the right can’t charge her with a lopsided bias). What a joke – the transparency couldn't’t have been clearer. The whole interview stunk of collusion, too much advance preparation on both the interviewer and interviewee’s part to ‘get exactly the right message out’. Anybody with half a brain could figure this one out. (The exact opposite of what she tried to in the Louis Freeh interview by the way.) Oh well, it was just another Rather moment – this time at NBC.

Great article - I don't trust Blitzer but I am glad he made all these important points that the rest of America that doesn't watch Fox needed to hear.

[RJL]

"So you don't have any regrets about the Vanity Fair picture?"

Wilson: "I think it's a great picture. I think someday you will, too."

Blitzer: "It's a great picture. But I mean the fact that-" Wilson: "I think someday it, too, will be in the International Spy Museum."

What a buffoon!

Dear Democrat Senator Scumbags;


Since the same intelligence used by Bill Clinton and EVERY sitting Democrat Senator in 1998 to justify bombing Iraq was part of the Bush Admins Intelligence used in 2003, please explain to me how "Bush lied" and YOU ALL did NOT?


If anyone LIED to us it was Bill Clinton and the Democrat Leadership when they developed this Intelligence in 1998. When can we expect the letters of resignation from ever member of the Democrat Senate Leadership over this "lie"?

[Asfarastheeastisfromthewest...]

Joe Wilson has many motivations for doing what he has done but I actually think that he has one that is being overlooked - visions of money and lots of it. All this attention will do nothing but help his book sales, there will be speaking engagements ....... and it sure smells like he and his wife are building the case for a huge lawsuit against the administration (loss of income because she will never work again, subjecting them to endangerment, embarrassment etc.) and on and on it goes.

Couric stated: "... there was someone referred to as 'Official A,' widely believed to be Karl Rove and he is the man who is believed to have given your wife's name to Robert Novak in that very first column."


What bugs me most about all the Wilson interviews, is that the person who told Novak is not supposed to be anybody from the WH - that's what Novak said. And .. Novak also said that we would be very surprised at who it was.

When is Novak going to tell ..?? As long as Novak is silent, this allows Wilson to be all over the TV saying that "Official A" is Rove - when Wilson cannot possibly know who that official is.

NOVAK NEEDS TO PUT AN END TO THIS AND TELL WHO IT WAS.

[eric_da_grate]

Interesting.

1) Couric asks Wilson flat-out if he thinks Libby is guilty. Wilson chooses not to presume.

2) Blitzer asks Wilson about his own statement...'...it's of keen interest to me to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs.'

Sounds mighty personal to me.
