Somewhere underneath all this there has to be someone dolling out monetary rewards to feed their overinflated ego's. I haven't been given any proof yet that any of them have the intelligence to do all this on their own. Someone, somewhere who hasn't come to the surface yet is pulling the puppet strings.

I agree that someone is handing out money. Before Joe Wilson ever wrote a book he had a millioin-dollar house in a tony area of DC, a kitchen remodel with custom cabinets and granite counter-tops, antiques and oriental rugs, a Jag, a Mercedes, a Rollex watch, and enough money to clothe Valerie in fancy dudds for dinner parties all over Georgetown. Pretty amazing for a guy who was retired on a civil service pension and a wife who was a government employee. They did NOT inherit money; both come from middle-clas backgrounds.
