Poor Joe Wilson...so much for the movie rights?

Exposed and discredited, Joe Wilson might consider going back.

Joe Wilson's cover has been blown. For the past year, he has claimed to be a truth-teller, a whistleblower, the victim of a vast right-wing conspiracy — and most of the media have lapped it up and cheered him on.
After a whirl of TV and radio appearances during which he received high-fives and hearty hugs from producers and hosts (I was in some green rooms with him so this is eyewitness reporting), and a wet-kiss profile in Vanity Fair, he gave birth to a quickie book sporting his dapper self on the cover, and verbosely entitled The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies that Led to War and Betrayed My Wife's CIA Identity: A Diplomat's Memoir.
The book jacket talks of his "fearless insight" (whatever that's supposed to mean) and "disarming candor" (which does not extend to telling readers for whom he has been working since retiring early from the Foreign Service).
The biographical blurb describes him as a "political centrist" who received a prize for "Truth-Telling," though a careful reader might notice that the award came in part from a group associated with The Nation magazine — which only Michael Moore would consider a centrist publication.
But now Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV — he of the Hermes ties and Jaguar convertibles — has been thoroughly discredited. Last week's bipartisan Senate intelligence committee report concluded that it is he who has been telling lies.

You will never read this on the front pages of the Slimes and and Washrag let alone see it on the Alphabet Nets.

Report Disputes Wilson's Claims on Trip, Wife's Role By Susan Schmidt

Former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, dispatched by the CIA in February 2002 to investigate reports that Iraq sought to reconstitute its nuclear weapons program with uranium from Africa, was specifically recommended for the mission by his wife, a CIA employee, contrary to what he has said publicly.

Hmmmm...."contrary to what he said publicly." Isn't that called lying? |

Wilson Lied! The Washrag Hides!
And another thing:
On the Front Page of Today's L.A. Times
A front-page story in this morning's Los Angeles Times reports that America went to war based on faulty information: information that understated the extent of the threat faced by Americans. The story makes it clear that -- according to up-to-date information just published by a committee studying the issue -- America must, if anything, escalate its previous efforts in order to have any chance at victory.
However, the war in question is the war on cholesterol.
You didn't think the Times would say something like that about Iraq, did you??
Meanwhile, the paper continues its blackout of the recent stunning revelations that Joe Wilson is a liar. Yesterday, the paper devoted front-page space to the topic of counting fish.
The cholesterol bombshell didn't break until today.
