Former ambassador speaks

Stick a sock in it, Joe.

[Forte Runningrock]

The guy is really full of himself, isn't he.
His wife wasn't outed for anything, except being married to an delusional @sshole.

[rhombus]

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

What a class act Joe Wilson is... and this clown was an ambassador?

[Callahan]

"To me, it looked like regime change for the sake of regime change. 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." </i>

If he added that Joe Wilson was a pompous, over-dramatic, attention-seeking press whore with a Hollywood complex and that his wife was a desk jockey who was more at risk of stabbing herself in the eye with her mascara than anything else, I'd say it was a fair asessment.

He has referred to the attempted Niger buy as a "caper". The only "characters" I have ever seen or heard use that expression are Dick Tracy, Bugs Bunny and Maxwell Smart.

[Bahbah]

"Insist on debate, and insist that the debate be based on the facts."

Well, that let's you out, Joe.

[ScaniaBoy]

Joe Wilson - Maxwell Smart

LOL!!

"Unfortunately, most people want to know what it's like to be Valerie Plame's husband - which I'm also happy to talk about. By the way, did I ever tell you she lets my play with her gun.. it's much bigger than mine. Oh, and did I mention she's a spy and works for the CIA?"

[Forte Runningrock]

"He said his experience meeting with Saddam Hussein just before the United Nations attacked Iraqi forces invading Kuwait in 1991 and helping spur democracy in Niger helped him come to the conclusion democracy was too difficult a road to pursue in Iraq."

Gee, I thought it was USA forces that attacked Saddam and tossed him out of Kuwait,If I recall the UN turned tail and ran when Saddam was crossing the border. Democracy in the M.E. wasn't the agenda at the time. Joe Wilson brought democracy to Niger? Sure he did. Are you skipping your meds Joe? Don't listen to those voices Joe!

You know a guy is in trouble when a real story about him appears to be a parody at first but isn't.

[rs79bm]

Other students in attendance, though, were not as impressed. Middler English major Christopher Budnick said the event was a "waste of time," citing "skewed statistics."

"He led with a really interesting statistic, that Valerie Wilson-Plame was the first American spy to have her identity revealed by her own government," Budnick said. "It would be a bit more thrilling if she was, indeed, the first, but talking to a room full of college students can really invigorate you into saying what sounds good."

At least their was one intelligent individual in the audience.

[mylife]

Ol Joe Wilson continues to demonstrate that he is a bastion of virtue

[Redleg Duke]

Talk about liberal "projection"!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

He referred to the Iraqis as "assholes,"

That says all we need to know about Wilson.

[saveliberty]

Heheheheh. An excellent point, my friend! :-)

[saveliberty]

I guess he has a lot of transferrence.

[Forte Runningrock]

Maybe we should call Joe Wilson "the American Dad". I'm sure he see's himself as that character does.
Someone should call family services and get those twins away from him before he hurts them during a delusional episode.

[Bahbah]

Our boy Joe is beginning to sound a little unhinged. The highlight of the story for me was to see that there is someone majoring in Middle English AND he is a pretty smart guy.

[saveliberty]

ROFL! Hooray for Christopher Budnick! He is a very perceptive young man! :-)
