I don't know why the Wilsons' political leanings are a surprise. It came out a while ago that Joseph Wilson functioned as President Clinton's political advance man for Clinton's (highly political) tour of Africa, the one in which he apologized all over the place for America to African presidents-for-life who were laughing up their sleeves at him. But of course, Clinton was under investigation by Ken Starr, and if he were indicted would be tried in a D.C. court, with a D.C. jury........
"Bobby, can you spell 'jury nullification'"?
So Wilson was used for that, which means he had Clinton's confidence and was, and is, a bona fide Clintonista.
Why either he or his wife were still working for George Bush more than two days after the first inaugural ball is a question for Bush's political staffers and whoever vetted the holdovers to answer. IMHO the Wilsons are a couple of Clinton political moles, the political equivalent of suicide-bomber sleeper agents that Clinton activated for the Iraq War and Campaign 2004.
I told everyone a long time ago, this goes to the Clintons.
That's the only thing that would make Miller feel safer in jail and the only reason the Old Grey Whore would let her sit in jail.
Cooper's wife (Clintonista), his sister (yep), don't have to tell you about Wilson (Clinton/Kerry campaign) and who had the most to gain from this.
Wilson was on the NSC responsible for African Affairs, which is why he was involved in Clinton's trip to Africa.
Why either he or his wife were still working for George Bush more than two days after the first inaugural ball is a question for Bush's political staffers and whoever vetted the holdovers to answer.
Amen. But in the final analysis, the joke is on CIA.
This is a good point, but to be completely fair, thanks to Al Gore holding our electoral system hostage for over a month with his endless attempts to cherry-pick votes in South Florida, Bush's transition team had much less time to do its job than it normally would have. Given this, they probably relied rather more heavily than normal (or, in hindsight, adviseable) on CIA staffers in deciding who would stay and who would go. And if there is one thing we have found out over the last four years, it's just how thoroughly the CIA has been infiltrated with leftist political hacks and America-hating stooges.
