Still spreading the lies and stumping for dollars for Democrats:

Dear Lew,

In 2003 when I spoke out against the lies in George Bush's State of the Union address justifying his disastrous and irresponsible war in Iraq, I never imagined the White House would take revenge against me by compromising the national security of the country, not to mention the safety of my family by outing my wife's identity as a covert CIA officer.

Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby and Karl Rove knew they could get away with their traitorous acts because the Republicans in Congress refused to do any oversight or hold anyone accountable.

With Democrats in power that all changed.

But, that will only continue if Democrats remain in the majority. The Republicans are determined to regain their power to guarantee that they will never be held accountable for their misrule and abuse of power over that past decade. We cannot permit that to happen.

To finally turn the page on these dark times, and to make lasting change, it will take both a Democrat in the White House as well as a strong Democratic Congress. The single best action you can take today is to contribute to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) before their critical September 30th deadline.

I never imagined that the Republican Congress would condone the Bush Administration's reckless disregard of our national security. But that is just what the Republicans in Congress did -- and they reveled in it.

Oversight is one of the most important functions Congress performs -- it protects the lives of those serving our nation, saves millions of taxpayer dollars, and ensures that the Executive branch plays by the rules. We must continue to demand accountability in government.

Finally, after years of Republican dithering and inaction, Democrat Henry Waxman invited Valerie to testify before Congress to deliver a simple message:

"We in the CIA always know we might be exposed and threatened by foreign enemies. It was a terrible irony that Administration officials were the ones who destroyed my cover."

Heroes like Henry Waxman and John Conyers have been holding hearings, issuing subpoenas and shining light on the most deceptive and secretive Administration in our nation's history.

The future of our nation depends on having a Congress that will do its job, making sure that no White House ever again will get away with acting as if it is above the law.

As the third quarter filing deadline approaches, it is vital you give the DCCC the resources they need to keep fighting Republicans.

Thank you,

Ambassador Joe Wilson

P.S. Oversight makes a difference! If the U.S. Attorney scandal had occurred two years ago, Republicans would have done nothing; the media would have swept it under the rug and Alberto Gonzales would still be the Attorney General. We can't turn back -- we need a strong Democratic Majority. Contribute to help strengthen our Democratic Majority and House Democrats will match you 2-to-1

Here it is in a nutshell. President Bush is fighting a war on terrorism. The DCC is fighting Republicans.

Assuming this is true (and I have no reason to believe it isn’t), if there was ever any doubt about Mr. Wilson’s political predispositions and partisan motivations prior to his well timed pre-war revelations, they are certainly resolved now.

OK, let’s see. Scooter was tried and convicted before the democrats were in power.

The only thing that’s happened since the democrats took power is his wife was called to a hearing where she pretty much confessed to being a liar, making her even more pathetic.

On the other hand, because the democrats are in power at least she isn’t getting hit with perjury charges for lying under oath, so maybe Joe’s got a point there.

Other than that, Joe was doing better under republican leadership.

Sorry Joe, that never happened. But regardless, I never imagined that a couple concerned about their family's safety would sign a book contract about their supposed ordeal, then sell rights to their story to Hollyweird.

He really thinks his wife was all that!
