July 15, 2004He's More Invisible than Negroponte!Today is Day 13 of the Joe Wilson abduction. A quick Nexis search shows that the last time he was on television was July 2. This is like a diabetic going two weeks without his insulin. Clearly, he must be handcuffed to a radiator somewhere. Why else would he not explain himself publicly? -- Jonah Goldberg, writing over at the Corner Heh. Or, per Taranto, Joe Wilson shying away from the cameras is like "Homer Simpson turning down a cheeseburger." Anyway, we know he's not on the cruise just yet.... Gosh, stuck on a boat with Joe Wilson and Sid Blumenthal?!? I'd rather be hunched over killing cockroaches in a land-locked, AC-less Lower East Side tenement during a vicious heat wave (don't ask) than sailing the open seas with this crowd... P.S. Salon is going to need to update this, er, false advertising, no? (click on the "Speakers" section) Joe Wilson: "Former Ambassador who debunked President's Bush's 16 words." Oh my.... Gloat out. MORE: The cruise schedule, whilst 'at sea', for September 6th: Sept. 6th - Monday - At Sea Note the pre-dinner dancing is optional! And so, it would seem, are the 'Politics of Truth'!

You meant like "Homer Simpson turning down a doughnut". or "Like Wimpy turning down a hamburger". Yours Truly, Department of Comic Metaphors
"The secret history of Salon....and how it has...become an influential and independent media player." Satire, or Liars Club Round Table? All of you who've been influenced by Salon, raise your hands..............................Bueller? Cordially... Posted by: Rick at July 15, 2004 10:17 PM | Permalink to this comment
The phrase "ship of fools" comes to mind. Notice I didn't say "ship of lying fools" because I am trying to be considerate. Say, will they be serving sweet mint tea on deck? Posted by: Capt America at July 15, 2004 11:20 PM | Permalink to this comment
Gloat while you can, you won't be able to when the indictments come down .... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3891503.stm further "A senior intelligence official said the CIA supports Wilson's version: "Her bosses say she did not initiate the idea of her husband goingÉ. They asked her if he'd be willing to go, and she said yes," the official said." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/iraq/complete/la-fg-uranium15jul15,1,4698277.story?coll=la-home-headlines Posted by: kiret at July 16, 2004 12:32 AM | Permalink to this comment
Kiret - According to some, the LATimes (which is pretty notorious for its bias) didn't give readers the whole story. As Patterico noticed, "Reading this, you'd never know how definitively Wilson denied the involvement of his wife, or how strong the evidence is that she was involved.

"According to some"! Hey, that's a great technique .... Here is another one, "Some people say ..." www.outfoxed.org Posted by: kiret at July 16, 2004 01:05 AM | Permalink to this comment
Gee, you'd think at least ONE of the Dems would've refused to sign on to the report if what Kiret's 'reporting' has any basis in fact .... Why, oh why, didn't this "senior intelligence official" let the Senate know about this? Posted by: BradDad at July 16, 2004 01:14 AM | Permalink to this comment
Hmmmm. Apparently the Brits didn't buy the Butler whitewash .... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3898823.stm Posted by: kiret at July 16, 2004 02:21 AM | Permalink to this comment
Thoughts on Wilson's ideas about a war between the CIA and the White House: Were Foley and Plame engaged in a political war against the White House from their offices in the CIA? Is that where Wilson got his lies and agitprop to publicly attack the President? Wilson claimed that he waited until June because he thought the administration had intel in addition to the purchase agreement, a purchase agreement which he knew to be forged. Well, he didn't know the documents were forged and there was other intel including, but not limited to, a November 2002 Navy/DIA report of "a large quantity of uranium from Niger was being stored in a warehouse in Cotonou, Benin. The uranium was reportedly sold to Iraq by Niger's President."
