Wilson, for the first time in his life, finds that he is onstage, and he is doing everything he can to keep from departing. This "spy scandal" is completely overblown but Wilson just can't let go.

Yep. Of course, I wonder why he is overblowing it...

Any suggestions as to why?

Since Wilson was vocally against the war to begin with and is now a highly visible member in good standing with the Move-On.org people, we can assume this entire "scandal" has been created along the lines of the British "security leak scandal" which crashed Blair "honesty" poll numbers. It's also difficult to weep huge saline tears for Wilson since he first outted his wife in "Who's Who" a few years ago.

Robert Novak could end this entire comedy episode if he came forward and repeated what he has already said many times on CNN: That the "leaker" wasn't a member of the administration and that the subject of Novak's original story has been completely and pointedly ignored. That is, how does someone from the Clinton administration, who has always been against Bush and the war, get assigned the mission of investigating Saddam's African nuclear adventure? An adventure the president of Niger still claims existed.

You're intuitive observance is dead on. Wilson is loving his "movie star" moment. Check out their poses and shades. I'm alternating between gagging when looking at their disgusting picture and laughing that they are such transparent fools, desperate for publicity.
