WILSON: Well, it was a statement that I'd made at a meeting in Seattle. And as my wife later told me, she thought I'd gone a little over the top, so I took the handcuffs off. But I believed then and I believe now that -- and I know that Karl Rove was, in fact, engaged in pushing the Novak story, including calling a reporter and saying, "Wilson's wife is fair game." ...

BLITZER: But you don't want to name that reporter who told you that?

WILSON: It was Chris Matthews of "Hardball.

OOOPS, Now Chris Matthews will have to go testify.... my my what a tangled web we weave...

I wondered about that last night; I bet Matthews is furious with Wilson for dragging him into this just as the ship is sinking!

And of course, that is OUT OF CONTEXT from the liar Wilson.

In the days after the Novak column ran, a producer from ABC-Wilson will not say who-phoned him at home and said, "They're saying things about you at the White House so off-the-wall we can't even put them up." NBC's Andrea Mitchell called him that weekend, he says, and told him that sources at the White House were telling her, "The real story here is not the 16 words-the real story is Wilson and his wife." Next, Wilson got a call from a journalist whom he won't name-but who is widely thought to be Chris Matthews-who, according to Wilson, gushed, "I just got off the phone with Karl Rove. He says your wife is fair game. I gotta go." Click.

Now, correct me if I am wrong, but was SHE part of the story? How did he expect her not to be "fair game" since she's the one who suggested him for the trip?
