Joe Wilson is a tough political competitor. You have to respect him for that. As a foreign policy advisor to John Kerry, Wilson had a good chance of becoming Kerry's Secretary of State or some Deputy something-or-other of State. It's amazing how -- no matter how many times Wilson's pudgy pink face is in Vanity Fair -- no one acknowledges his political interests in discrediting the Bush Administration. But, that's a different issue.
Joe Wilson is also a liar. Under the cover of his wife's CIA assignment, Wilson was able to write one investigative report for the Agency -- which was secret -- and one for the op-ed page of the NYT - which was not so much so.
And never the twain shall meet...
