Words will come back to haunt

First of all, Joe Wilson is not exactly unarmed and he aims to strike at the "HEART" of the Chimp's Oedipus Complex (Nice job getting an interview Bradblog):

[Wilson] told us that he'd be appearing on NBC's Today Show tomorrow morning and would be repeating that call.

As well, he told The BRAD BLOG that he planned to read a letter on air which he received from Bush's father, President George H.W. Bush shortly after an article of his was printed in the San Jose Mercury News, on October 13, 2002, in which Wilson related his concerns about the pitfalls of the approach to Iraq being taken at the time by both the U.N. and the U.S.

In reply to that article, Wilson said that the former President wrote that he had "read your article and I agree with a lot of it."


Additionally, Wilson explained, Bush 41's own National Security Advisor, Brett Scowcroft, had contacted him to ask whether he "could walk on over to the White House with the letter" at the time. Which apparently he did.

Wilson also had sent the article to Bush 41's Secretary of State, James Baker.

"None of them responded saying you’re a Democratic partisan hack and your views suck," said Wilson.


The Bush-o-files have cranked up the spin machine to the point that by its shear weight (remember Limbaugh and Roger Aisles are involved) it may soon collapse into a singularity.

As Kevin Drum notes:

Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is sure acting like a guy who has the goods on this whole affair, and if he starts delivering indictments it's going to make the Greek chorus singing Rove's praises look pretty silly. Oh, it was six reporters? Over the course of three days? And some of the calls were from Air Force One? Um....

Frankly, smart Republicans would be well advised to hedge their bets.


Smart Republicans yes. That is why we are hearing from the usual suspects.
