Former Ambassador Joseph Wilson signed on with Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign yesterday, saying "it's entirely possible" his ex-spy wife will hit the trail with her, too.
Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, was outed as a covert CIA operations officer by President Bush's advisers in 2003 as they sought to discredit her Iraq war critic husband. She's writing a memoir due in the fall.
"I would expect her to be engaged [politically] probably after the book tour," Wilson told the Daily News after Clinton announced his endorsement.
Wilson said his wife shunned politics during her two decades as a covert spy. But now that she's retired, "I don't think you'll find her politics are much different than mine," Wilson said from his home in Santa Fe, N.M.
At a House hearing after Vice President Cheney's top aide Lewis (Scooter) Libby was convicted of perjury in the leak probe, Plame said she was a Democrat. The couple recently dined with one of Washington's most notable moderates, Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, who urged her to run for office as a centrist, sources said.
Clinton praised Wilson's endorsement because he "stood up to this administration" by challenging Bush's reasons for invading Iraq.
"I'm so pleased that we share the goal of ending this war so that we can begin bringing our troops home safely," she said.
Wilson said Clinton had reached out to the couple in their "darkest hours."
"I want somebody who's going to fight for me," he said.
Gee I am shocked. You mean Joe Wilson was a leftwing liberal all along.
He’s trying so hard to use his wife’s career to make himself important. As I said, Mr. Plame reminds me of a fat, gray tick on a dog [Valerie being said dog].
I guess that means that Boy Bill is hitting on Plame.
GRRRRRRRRR That's as far as I read.
We should start a pool.....
“Guess the month in which Bill Clinton makes the moves on Valerie Plame”
Part of Clinton’s “No Hottie Left Behind” program
O’Reilly should be all over this one tonight and of course Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews will find NOTHING wrong with this...nope...nothing stinks here..lmao.
bump
"I want somebody who's going to fight lie for me," he said.
There, fixed it.
Yep, that CIA is a non-partisan, objective organization.
Yeah, right...

“Guess the month in which Bill Clinton makes the moves on Valerie Plame”
I guess OCTOBER 2004!! November, December, January 2005......
Liberal. Liar. Pretty much the same thing.
The couple recently dined with one of Washington’s most notable moderates, Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, who urged her to run for office as a centrist, sources said.
Is it just me or is that incredible.
Yeah, absolutely incredible. And President Bush campaigned for Spectre.
This is an outright lie. She was outed by Richard Armitage, a career State Depeartment hack/gossip. If Bush’s advisers had outed her they’d have been charged and in jail by now. Typical Joseph Goebels propaganda....repeat a lie often enough and it become truth.
I just want these two to go away.
If you’re working at Langley, your covert days are behind you.
