Joseph Wilson, Who Challenged Iraq War Narrative, Dies at 69

NYT ^ | 9/27/2019 | Neil Genzlinger

[Borges]

Joseph C. Wilson, the long-serving American diplomat whose clash with the administration of President George W. Bush in 2003 led to the unmasking of his wife at the time, Valerie Plame, as a C.I.A. agent, resulting in accusations that the revelation was political payback, died on Friday at his home in Santa Fe, N.M. He was 69.

Ms. Plame said the cause was organ failure.

Which organ, Valerie?

[bankwalker]

another lying sack down the plughole ...

Now he can have his yellow cake, and eat it too...in Hell, sitting at the pool with Satan, sipping mint tea.

Good riddance.

[Cecily]

As per usual in a Wilson/Plame story, Scooter Libby is mentioned but not Richard Armitage, the actual leaker of information about Plame.

[lodi90]

I no longer care what happened to Scooter Libby after the GOP has enabled the ongoing Deep State coup against POTUS.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Truth is unrelated to the narrative.

[shalom aleichem]

Reside in Hell, Joe

[Anti-Bubba182]

I will always remember George W. Bush did not give Libby a full pardon but Donald Trump did.

[edwinland]

" resulting in accusations that the revelation was political payback*"

* As an aside, the accusations were ultimately disproved. But whatever.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Valerie Plame is running for Congress.

Joe Wilson passes away.

The couple divorced some years ago.

What if Joe had some information?

[MAexile]

Which organ, Valerie?

Probably not the Brian. Questionable as to weather he had one.

[\/\/ayne]

“Organ Failure,” what’s that? They don’t just “fail.” Something makes them fail. That’s like saying “Cause of death - stopped breathing.”

[fishtank]

Yep, we do wonder....

[Finatic]

I was hired to videotape a fund raising event where this numbskull. I took it so I could be a mole against the lefties. Joe Wilson was bloviating asswipe that night.

[miss marmelstein]

Hair spray is lethal in excess.

[JohnnyP]

I didn’t care for them, but it’s sad they divorced. Probably contributed to his death.

[Gay State Conservative]

Organ failure at 69??? Gee,I wonder if it could have been:

LIVER FAILURE

[ScottinVA]

Rot in hell, MFer.

[Karoo]

Yes. I always thought poorly of Bush because of that.
