Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich appeared on FOX News’ Hannity & Colmes last night and shut down Alan Colmes on the subject of Joe Wilson’s lies and hate against the Bush administration.
The proof is in the transcript:
COLMES: I want to talk about scooter Libby for a second. There’s some talk here that the prosecutors are backtracking, that’s what some conservatives are saying. And yet the same story points out that the essential charge is not being undercut here, mainly that Libby told the grand jury that Cheney said he sought Mr. Bush’s approval for disclosure of information from the intelligence estimate to Judith Miller. Do you have any doubt this administration attempt to smear Joe Wilson because of what he was saying?
GINGRICH: First of all, I don’t think telling the truth about Joe Wilson is smearing him. Joe Wilson got the job to go to Africa because his wife got him the job. Joe Wilson lied about it. He implied Cheney gotten him the job, which was a lie and Wilson knew it. Joe Wilson then lied about his own report and if you look, Alan, at the Senate Intelligence Committee on a bipartisan basis, they said Joe Wilson was not honest and not truthful. So lets not talk about smearing.
COLMES: And as a matter of fact they lied about Joe Wilson, rather Joe Wilson did not lie about them. They did not like what he was saying. But did you not answer my question, did you have any doubt there was an attempt to smear him?
GINGRICH: How is smearing someone telling the truth?
COLMES: Telling his wife was a C.I.A. Agent. She lost her job.
GINGRICH: The truth was that Joe Wilson got that assignment because of his wife.
COLMES: That’s not the truth Mr. Speaker, with all do respect. She could not make that decision. She could not sign off on it or pull the trigger to get him the job.
GINGRICH: Alan, she wrote a memo recommending him. And Wilson was going around town saying Cheney was the reason he went there and it was not true.
Let’s go a step further. I do think the President at some point should make a calm, methodical, historic speech outlining what the administration was trying to accomplish, why they were trying to do it, why they thought what he was doing was legal, and I think the country needs to hear from the president at some point a clear-cut chronology of that period because I do think it’s now so confusing, it is so murky, it is so wrapped up in this prosecutor, it is hard even for people like you and me who pay a lot of attention to truly follow day-to-day, what’s the real information. And the president should tell the country. >>>
I agree with the Speaker’s last point. President Bush should come out and explain the lies in Joe Wilson’s editorial in the New York Times, how he got the job and the importance of sharing how he got the job. Perhaps that will finally put the media’s obsession with this story to rest.
