And when Wilson wrote his infamous Op-Ed, he was already involved in the Kerry campaign. Something the MSM never mentions, and which makes his political motives for the Op-Ed quite clear.
Joey Wilson slipped up VERY badly when he spoke ofthe "forged documents" that he wasn't supposed to have ever seen!!!!
I predict these two wll be criminally indicted.
"leftist climbers" should read "leftist Clymers".

It is beyond the pale for sure; and more disappointing is listening to Fox News. . .play out the same 'spin'. . .rather than getting to the heart of the real travesty and story here.
If not for FR; alternative media/bloggers/ and of course, Rush and radio 'et al's; what we know about the truth of this matter. . ..
LOL(!) and for sure.
Ben. . .hear that?
Amen to Fox News disappointment!! hey are absolutely no better than the others in false reporting on this story!! Fox News has such a leftist slant and so many leftists n there, that it's UNWATCHABLE for me anymore.
hahaha, my son is not here and I cannot quote you a paradiddle. so many things yet to learn ...
Sex in a hang-glider.
Incredible, isn't it?
"I predict these two wll be criminally indicted"
I really hope that is the case. . .but then I thought Sandy Berger would have been the poster boy for 'frog marching in leg irons' by now. . .
So much 'compromising going on'. . .maybe these two, will announce an imposed long-suffering. . .a 'self-imposed' exile. . .blame Bush, of course. . .complete with new identies; et al. . .
Just wonder what the consequences of whose 'justice' will prevail against these two.. .would think their friends are not happy with the longer record of their both suffering from 'loose tongue syndrome'; which now threatens to undermine months; if not a few years of effort by the Left, to 'get GW'.
'Sex in a hang-glider'.
A prize-winning answer!
If there were a prize, that is. . . ;^) Good one. . .
Tap the famous "indian beat" (You know the one the indians use when their about to go to war in all those Western/Cowboy movies.) with your hand on something...
Da dum dum dum.
You'll be able to impress all your other mother freinds with this knowledge and probably your son!
LOL! That's very good!
bump
That's a paradiddle?? The Indian Drums??? well what do you know.,

I know this theory about a Wilson/Plame "left-wing plot" is popular here, but I'm afraid it is much more prosaic than that.
Yesterday's Washington Post story on the State Department memo says that the memo laid out that State had objected to Wilson's trip to Niger in the first place. State thought it had enough information in 2002 to refute the theory that Iraq had bought or tried to buy uranium ore from Niger. There was no need for a Wilson/Plame "plot" to gin up a bogus report to refute the Iraq/Niger claim. State was already saying this to the White House and the CIA knew it.
So why did the CIA send Joe Wilson to Niger anyway, over the objections of the State Department? Why was his report given in person and not in writing? Why did he wait for five months after the State of the Union to start peddling his story that the President was lying and he had the truth? If he and his wife were so hell-bent on undermining the President, why did Wilson not go public the day after the SOTU?
This theory does not add up. What does add up is that Joe Wilson had business dealings in Niger, he needed to cover them up, and he got his wife to push him for a trip there. He found nothing because he went there for another reason, to cover his own ass. His report was crap and the CIA put it on a shelf. Then the Kerry campaign found Wilson and together they drummed up the whole story that Bush was lying, and they sold it to the NYT and Washington Post to embarrass Bush in the middle of the campaign.
Wilson and Plame's contributions to Al Gore are easily explained. Wilson worked for Al Gore in the Senate. I'm sure he thought Gore was a great guy and would be a great President. Gore's staffers were very loyal to him. Gore probably got Wilson his gig at the White House. Doesn't mean Wilson is a left-wing fanatic. He doubtless did not think much of Bush, but his "Bush is lying about Iraq and uranium" story was a total invention by the Kerry campaign. It's made him a darling of the left and a fixture on the liberal cocktail party circuit, so of course he is sticking with it.
An ass and his ass-et pretty much sums it up.
"What does add up is that Joe Wilson had business dealings in Niger, he needed to cover them up, and he got his wife to push him for a trip there. He found nothing because he went there for another reason, to cover his own ass. His report was crap and the CIA put it on a shelf. "
I'm curious as to who paid for the trip and who Joe Wilson was working for (was he a fed employee - reeks of nepotism if so and if a contractor - conflict of interest on Plame!)
Either way him going on the trip, with her prodding, is bizarre.
From what I heard last night, that memo had been circulating around the State Department the whole month of July.
It could have been anybody over there.
