WP Fascinating profile of Joe Wilson -- must read

[grasswire]

This guy is amazing!

His fingers threaded a string of ornate black worry beads, common in the Arab world. They're from his days in Baghdad, where he was acting U.S. ambassador. In 1990, while sheltering more than a hundred Americans at the U.S. Embassy and diplomatic residences, he briefed reporters while wearing a hangman's noose instead of a necktie -- a symbol of defiance after Hussein threatened to execute anyone who didn't turn over foreigners.

The message, Wilson said: "If you want to execute me, I'll bring my own rope."


Wilson said he and his wife have attended the same Episcopal church as Rove. Wilson quoted Valerie as saying, "Perhaps the next time we are taking communion I should introduce myself so he can see that I have a face and a name other than 'fair game.' "

Perhaps that 10 Commandments monument in Alabama could be placed in Karl's office.

5. Thanks grasswire.

Liked this line.

In a July 18 column in the Wall Street Journal, former defense secretary Caspar Weinberger ridiculed Wilson's trip to Niger as a "sloppy tea-drinking 'investigation' from . . . a retired ambassador with a less than stellar record."


LOL But not so "less than stellar", that it required a pardon, eh
Cap?
