Joe Wilson Calls Bob Novak An “A**hole” And A “Jerk”…...

Former ambassador speaks on Iraq, CIA leak investigation

In a talk sponsored by the Northeastern College Democrats at Blackman Auditorium Nov. 21, Wilson laid out the story of how he had gone from being a relatively anonymous state department official to "Valerie Plame's husband," sparing few from potent verbal attacks along the way.

He was able to provide the audience with a full account of the trip to Niger he called the reason for his character assassination and, as a "side issue," his reaction to the outing of his wife's identity as a spy with the CIA. Wilson, a former ambassador to several African nations and to Baghdad during the 1991 Gulf War.

"It was a much harder road than [the Bush administration] thought it would be," he said. "Was there anyone who knew better than me? Probably not." He referred to the Iraqis as "assholes," and Saddam Hussein as a "madman."

He added he received support for this view from former President George H.W. Bush and former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft.

After he began to publicize his views, he said other pro-war policy makers engaged in character denigration, setting the backdrop by which he claimed his wife's identity was revealed. He said he was accused of being racist, among other charges, during the debate.

"My wife was the first American spy to have her identity compromised by the American government," he said.

He also had harsh words for Novak, calling him an "asshole" and a "jerk."

"When I found out , I was on the second floor of my house," he said. "If Bob Novak had been in the room, he wouldn't have been on the second floor for long."

"In response, Novak called Wilson a "~~!!@@+%*76y__=?<}||rbfht@!X";'^_@0{@!ko_!!"


Well, at least he got that right. As a form of punishment, maybe Novak can be presented the first annual Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame/ Cindy Sheehan "~~!!@@+%*76y__=?<}||rbfht@!X";'^_@0{@!ko_!!" award.

I think Novak could take him...$50 on the old fat guy from CNN!

Remember when he almost kicked James Carville's ass on CNN's Inside Politics. That was cool!

"When I found out [about the unveiling], I was on the second floor of my house," he said. "If Bob Novak had been in the room, he wouldn't have been on the second floor for long."

What a man Wilson is, isn't Novak about 75 or over?

"And when will Fitzgerald call Wilson before his grand jury?
Former President Nixon fired Arch. Cox, can President Bush fire Fitzgerald?
It has already been revealed that Fitzgerald did not do his job, so he should be replaced."

I don't think anyone, even Fitz Magoo, wants to hear from Joe. He's pretty well pegged as a blowhard moron. Bush could have failed to reappoint Fitz last month but he missed the opportunity. Apparently they want Fizt to flounder around and then blame him later for failing to get to first base on the leaks. It's pretty obvious to everyone but Fitz that the leaks come from CIA and Foggy Bottom as well a notorious former pentagon intelligence analyst who spies on CIA flights and is now a "human rights" activist.

He referred to the Iraqis as "assholes," and Saddam Hussein as a "madman."


Probably the only truthful thing to leave Joe Wilson's mouth this year.
