So what'd we create this New Media for anyway?
WE need to figure out a way to expose this guy AND get that pushed into the mainstream press.
Apparently Andrea Mitchell (NBC) is also on tape, saying that everybody in the Washington media crowd KNEW Wilson had bragged about his wife being CIA (or words to that effect) long before Novak published it in 2003.
IIRC Tim Russert, as NBC Washington Bureau Chief, was Andrea Mitchell's boss at the time (and maybe still is).
So how likely is it that Russert wouldn't have known the same?
Yet Russert claimed in his sworn testimony to Fitzgerald that he had "never heard of Valerie Plame" at the time of Russert's phone conversations with Scooter Libby.
I would trust Paul Vallely with my granddaughter's lives...Wilson, I wouldn't trust to walk behind me.
The problem is he is charged with lying to the Grand Jury, just like BJ Clintoon. Now it appears his inconsistencies have to be explained; while there was evidently NO CRIME.
Never lie to the jury, never grant an extension!
-- crickets --
You can bet that Whore Wilson was telling everybody and anybody that his wife was CIA. It's obvious he can't help himself.
He's no different than Clintoon dreaming up that as toddler barely out of Huggies, he helped put out fires in black churches and that as 9-year-old who spent more time reading Life magazine than comic books, he decided to spearhead the 9-year-olds for Rosa Parks movement by sitting at the back of the bus.
Next we will be hearing how Clintoon actually taught Fats Dominoe how to jazz and Wilson once had dinner with Sean Connery and gave him a few tips on how to flesh out that 007 character.
Whore Wilson and the Clintoon have the same mental disease. And the LSM are their enablers.
The show closes every night with Kate Smith singing "God Bless America".
Not so. By definition. It is not being offered for the truth of the statement, but rather for the fact that Wilson said it. Perfectly admissible.
-The Judge
"Vallely also said that his impression of Joe Wilson, at that time, was that Wilson was a "self-promoter" who was making the rounds of the news programs, likely in advance of publishing a book."
A Freeper questioned whether Wilson's book wasn't already in the can before the Niger story, and whether the part about the Niger trip was merely tacked on. Vallely's opinion supports the idea that the book was already written in 2002. Of course, the Niger story would really spice up the book.
he has been gone for a long time. he had on air words on one of the shows with Loftus regarding the JFK assassination. soon after, he was gone, I believe he writes for broadway shows now.
I'm still trying to understand how Fitzgerald was able to maintain his investigation for two years, when no law was broken.
This is a good thing.
The more (ahem) political capital (to the extent they have political capital) the Rats throw down this Rathole, the better.
There's no business like show business, eh?
Thanks for the heads up, guys.
See Tallguy's post at reply 39, just above yours: Perhaps Gen. Vallely testified before the Grand Jury to this effect? If so, he was bound to secrecy until the Jury closed down? I think that's how it works.
So that's possible; but I think it's unlikely Fitzgerald has heard from Vallely, yet.
When Fitzgerald announced at his news conference a week ago that "none of Plame's neighbors knew she worked for the CIA" (or words to that effect), he seemed to be putting credence in Wilson's claims that Plame's status was a well-kept secret.
"Joe Wilson is a self-centered, supercilious, spoltlight-grabber who is more interested in his bank account than his country's success in this world."
Is that the same as being a BS salesman? };-)
Batchelor has been way ahead on the whole Wilson story. Recall all the threads we see how about how the French planted the forged documents as a poison pill to discredit the Niger story - Batchelor has been talking about that with Loftus for 2 years.
Military guys tend to keep quiet when an official process is ongoing--as the investigation. Once it's over, they feel it's okay to comment.
Pop: That quote I misattributed yesterday to Voltaire, "For those who have an eye for such things, an accused man can be very attractive."
It was Kafka, FoRgive me. (More appropriate source anyway)
Just goes to show that Joey spread the news about his wife far and wide on the afterhours DC social circuit. Then runs to the demoncRATS to blame the pubbies. Joey and Val don't have any shame or morals just like another duo commonly known as the clintoons.
Well done [the photo]. I get the same impression of Fitzgerald myself.
