A great Steyn piece from a July, 2004. Sadly "Yellacake Joe" isn't going away any time soon. Not that he's just that effective an apologist for Weakness - the MSM and the Libbies have fostered him for so long that he is now part of their collective DNA. To see how he was soft-soaped by Kerry, is still adored by the Press it is no wonder.

Thing is, and thie shows, when you shine the light on him just a little his claims scurry away like roaches on the basement floor.

Well, Joseph C Wilson IV's 15 minutes is now in its third year, and judging from the pass given to him by the major newspapers and TV networks there's no end in sight.

The pass by the media is only to be expected. It's the pass by the special prosecutor that is the most disturbing. If he lied about a trip made at the behest of the CIA, then isn't that an issue of nat'l security?

A smart republican that is not a liar himself should hang Wilson around ANY democrats neck like a garlic necklace..

There is much political gain to be had knowing about the Wilson and Plame affair.. and politically inserting it into any conversation for the next two months, maybe longer..

Then the democrats would rue the day that they brought it up..

When this Plamegate started to heat up recently, I decided I should educate myself and did a Yahoo! search and one of the first pages was Wikipedea. So I checked it out to get an overview, there's a link to the 1982 Outing a Spy Act so I read it. My first conclusion was "there's no way they're going to get a conviction on this". Then I decided to look into whether Plame would be considered "covert" under this act. After a maybe couple hours it became clear that Plame could not be considered covert. A Public Defender could easily prove this in court.
So I had to ask myself "why does every news paper in the country continue to refer to Plame as a covert agent when they could just read the law like I did and figure out she wasn't?"
Well, we know the reason. This is what Orwell warned us about. I'm sure the textbooks of the future will describe Wilson as a heroic whistleblower who exposed the lies of the warmongering neocons.

Reading this, I see Hillary somewhere...way in the back.

I don't really like "Yellowcake Joe".
I prefer Yellow Joe.
Or, Ol' Yeller.

A Senate investigation into the Palme-Wilson-CIA conspiracy - and it is a conspiracy - is needed pronto. Right NOW.

The left has managed to damage the President in a campaign of lies and more lies. I am so discouraged. The American people can no longer reason, or think for themselves. They still believe if Katie or Matthews or whoever says it, it must be true. How they can know what President Bush said in the SOTUA, and then still believe he lied is beyond me. I am at a loss to explain the stupidity around us, and the pure evil of the left.

JOE WILSON LIED! PEOPLE DIED...., he talked to officials, and he lied about America's national security in order to be the anti-Bush crowd's Playmate of the Month.

Perhaps, someday, Joe Wilson will be the remembered merely as the subject of some nursery rhyme sort of like this....

Joe wrote an op-ed and lied
As he took the Islamicists's side.
He sat on his tush
As he undermined Bush
Didn't care if Americans died.
