As it goes, I'm a pretty good judge of character. I generally get it right. And I got it right when I wrote this about Joe Wilson last year:
"Libby's defense will put Joe Wilson on the stand. Wilson will make a fool out of himself."
I did not know in 2005 that The Washington Post would end up agreeing with me in 2006!
The liberal Washington Post put the nail in Wilson's coffin with End of an Affair:
"Nevertheless, it now appears that the person most responsible for the end of Ms. Plame's CIA career is Mr. Wilson.So long Joe Wilson!
Mr. Wilson chose to go public with an explosive charge, claiming -- falsely, as it turned out -- that he had debunked reports of Iraqi uranium-shopping in Niger and that his report had circulated to senior administration officials.
He ought to have expected that both those officials and journalists such as Mr. Novak would ask why a retired ambassador would have been sent on such a mission and that the answer would point to his wife.
He diverted responsibility from himself and his false charges by claiming that President Bush's closest aides had engaged in an illegal conspiracy.
It's unfortunate that so many people took him seriously."
What Democrat will stand up today and apologize to VP Cheney?
What is the next stupid "anti-Bush fantasy" some Democrats will fall for next?
