Another high-profile John Kerry supporter was outed as a nutcase this =
week: Joseph C. Wilson, IV. The Walter Mitty of conspiracy theorists. =
Wilson was embraced by the Democrats last year for calling Bush a liar. =
Wilson claimed to be shocked, appalled, alarmed when President Bush said =
during his 2003 State of the Union address: "The British government has =
learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of =
uranium from Africa."
Wilson was shocked because, in 2002, he had been sent on an unpaid =
make-work job to Niger to "investigate" whether Saddam Hussein had tried =
to buy uranium ore from Niger. Wilson's method of investigating =
consisted of asking African potentates questions like: Did you commit a =
horrible crime, which, if so, would ruin your country's relationship =
with the United States? I have no independent means of corroborating =
this, so be honest!
Lonely Fantasists
On the basis of the answers he got, Wilson concluded that Saddam had not =
sought uranium ore from Niger. Since "Africa" means "Niger" and "British =
government" means "Joseph Wilson," Wilson realized in horror that Bush's =
statement referred to Wilson's very own report! Out of love for his =
country and an insatiable desire to have someone notice his existence, =
Wilson wrote an op-ed in The New York Times calling Bush a liar.
The whole story was already nutty enough to be believed by every =
columnist at The New York Times. But then journalist Robert Novak =
revealed that Clown Wilson had been sent as an unpaid intern to Niger by =
his wife, a CIA employee, who apparently wanted to get him out of the =
house. This in turn provoked our Walter Mitty to accuse Karl Rove of =
outing his wife as an undercover "spy" in retaliation for his attacks on =
the Bush Administration.
In response to Wilson's crazy behavior, he was made an adviser to the =
Kerry campaign. He was also fawned over by Vanity Fair magazine, =
embraced by Democratic senators such as Jon Corzine of New Jersey, =
hailed as a patriot in The New York Times, awarded The Nation magazine's =
"Award for Truth-Telling" and given a book contract. According to The =
Washington Post, Wilson began wiling away his once-empty days discussing =
"who would play [his wife] in the movie" and fantasizing about how his =
obituary would read. His favorites were: "Joseph C. Wilson, IV, the Bush =
I administration political appointee who did the most damage to the Bush =
II administration . . ." and "Joseph C. Wilson, IV, the husband of the =
spy the White House outed . . ."
I'm not sure we were waiting for any more evidence on whether Wilson was =
an idiot, but this week we found out he's a liar, too. The Senate report =
on the CIA's intelligence gathering concluded that, contrary to Wilson's =
statements about his own report, his findings had bolstered rather than =
undermined the case that Saddam had sought uranium from Niger.
Most amusingly, despite Wilson's insistence that he had been tapped for =
the Niger trip based on his nonexistent expertise and zero credentials, =
the Senate committee produced his wife's memo recommending her husband =
for the (unpaid) job. This followed Wilson's assertions that his wife =
"definitely had not proposed that I make the trip" and his astonishment =
that anyone could imagine his wife was "somehow involved in this," =
saying that "just defies logic."
When presented with the memo from his wife recommending him for the job, =
Wilson said only that his wife was not the one who made the decision to =
send him to Niger. This cleared up the matter for anyone who had been =
under the impression Wilson was married to George Tenet.
Wilson is an "unpaid foreign affairs adviser" to the Kerry campaign. =
Indeed, Wilson's website, denouncing the perfidy of the Bush =
Administration, was created and paid for by "John Kerry for President." =
(Why haven't any crack investigative journalists noticed that?)
This may explain why Kerry was boasting about foreign leaders supporting =
him earlier this year: He was trying to distract voters from the fact =
that his strongest base of support in the United States consists of =
lonely fantasists hoping to make some new friends.=20
