I find it fascinating that this is in USA Today. It's a very, very human piece.

USA Today has huge circulation, no?

"A neighbor's view of Valerie Wilson's 'outing'

By Christopher Wolf

Joe and Valerie Wilson are my next door neighbors in a hilly neighborhood just west of Georgetown. We moved in within months of each other seven years ago, attracted to our respective houses by the view of the Capitol in the distance and the Washington Monument in the foreground. The patriotic view is stirring.

I have another view from my window, of a neighbor who is a working, devoted mother of 5-year-old twins, a volunteer for charities, a woman active in her church, and a caring person. Soft-spoken, self-effacing and very private, Valerie is very easy to label "the lovely woman next door."

2. curious that rove was watching the 4th of july parade

it makes you wonder, why. friends in the neighborhood?

5. I saw that too.

I wondered if he lives in the same neighborhood. I also wonder if that's how he knew about them being married. Not a long leap to think he saw Valerie at the CIA and then with Joe Wilson in his own neighborhood, put 2 and 2 together, did some research, and instigated the whole deal.
