The Post has plenty of nice things to say about the sainted Mr. Wilson. Go read the whole thing. He's a swell guy.

[Cicero]

Well, the Media liars tried a full court press on Bush with the Enron affair. They pulled out all the stops for weeks. It was nothing but Bush . . . oilman . . . Texas . . . Enron. But in the end they failed miserably, although they did manage to cover up the fact that it was mostly clinton who was responsible for what happened.

I think this one will fail again, but it will be very unpleasant. And it's a bit like advertising. Nobody REALLY believes it, yet it affects the mind. It works.

Keep in mind that it was Graham and the Washington Post who orchestrated Watergate. They are just salivating to do it again, with support from the NY Times and the usual suspects.

I'm sitting here watching the replay of HARDBALL, and 2 times now, Mathews has read the Wash Post quote that says 6 reporters said the White House called them before the Novak column was published. That is plain wrong.

Andrea Mitchell is one of the 6 and last night on NBC Nightly News, Tom Brokaw said Mitchell was called AFTER the Novak column was published. This morning on on FOX & Friends, Wilson said himself the reporters told him they were called AFTER the Novak column was published.

The difference is important, because AFTER Novak had published Wilson's wife's name, it was no longer a secret, it was common knowledge, in the public domain.

The democrats are peeing their pants over this one. And Wilson is pumping it for all it's worth. He's been on tv more in the last 24 hours than Wesley Clark was during the war...and he will be on NIGHTLINE with Ted Koppell, coming up in a few minutes. He's going to appear with democrat senators tomorrow afternoon at the Capital.

What kind of idiot spends his time composing (and re-composing) his obituary?

[YaYa123]

MSNBC, CNN, and even FOX has shown replays of democrat senators on the senate floor wailing and gnashing teeth about this corrupt administration. Where oh where are the Republican senators who surely rose to condemn them for rushing to judgement?

I jest.....I haven't seen a republican senator rise to defend this president or this administration on anything!

(Mitch McConnell was on HARDBALL tonight up against Lautenberg, and he did a credible job....but he's just one. Not enough, and not soon enough. When are our guys going to learn to speak out in the same news cycle?

GRRRRRR

[YaYa123]

I don't think this is a puff piece at all. It makes Wilson sound positively wierd...and his wife too, if she has toddler twins, and works in a dangerous, life threatening job at the CIA.

I'm betting she isn't much more than a paper pusher, but no matter what her job, it's obvious from this piece that the two of them are enjoying the hell out of it. I don't think that would be the case if Novaks and some White House leakers had put her life in jeopardy.

[what's up]

This whole scandal is for one reason only - to weaken support for Arnold in the Recall.

Hillary doesn't want Bush to have CA in 2004.

The lefties know this Wilson thing is all lies. But their MO is to bring out a scandal...true or not...7 days before an important election. (Remember Bush's DUI?)

"What did he know,and when did he know it."

[Sabertooth]

Former diplomat Joseph Wilson used to tell reporters he felt certain how his obituary would read...

"Joseph Wilson, whose 15 minutes of infamy commenced when he lied about the Administration of President George W. Bush..."

[Mo1]

In the mid-1980s he worked for then-Sen. Al Gore (D-Tenn.) as a congressional fellow. He briefed Gore by phone from Baghdad as the senator was preparing to vote to authorize force in the Gulf War. Wilson argued then that force was required.

Is he taking credit for the reason Gore voted for the war??

Cause I've heard a different story

BTW ... This is SUCH a barf puff piece from the Post

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Washington Compost: "There HAS to be a scandal here! THERE HAS TO BE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

[Texas Eagle]

"She is really quite amazing," Wilson said. "We were just discussing today who would play her in the movie," he cracked.

And there you have it. This is all a big publicity stunt.
