The origin of Wilson's frog march statement

[Proudtobeprogressive]

I was at Jay Inslee's forum on Iraq that took place just north of Seattle in late August. I was second in line to ask a question. I saluted the ambassador and then asked him how he felt about his wife being outed. The floodgates were open. This is somewhat of a vanity post but also a real look at the role that DU plays. I would not have known to ask that particular question if I had not been greatly informed by the great minds here at DU. Anyway it feels great to have played even a very minor roll in battling the BFEE.

4. Me, too

I was there, too, and was thrilled that you asked the question. Last night I saw the video of that moment replayed on ABC Evening News. WAY TO GO!!!

7. Thanks

It was a great crowd and Wilson was awesome. I had a feeling that he was an outraged and dangerous man.

That must have been an awesome event, and you made an invaluable contribution by asking this question in public. Good for you!

BTW, The Guardian is reporting today that Rove *is* the source of invidious treachery

Burn baby burn.

Wilson apparently was told by someone who knew....
