Joe Wilson is an egotistical bag of hot air. You might be interested in the WaPo's ombudsman's reply to his screedy letter to the editor: washingtonpost.com The Weekly Standard beautifully takes Joe Blowhard to the woodshed. An excerpt from a long and finely detailed piece which is a paragon of journalistic integrity: During Mr. Wilson's media blitz, he appeared on more than thirty television shows including entertainment venues. Time and again, Joe Wilson told anyone who would listen that the President had lied to the American people, that the Vice President had lied, and that he had "debunked" the claim that Iraq was seeking uranium from Africa. As discussed in the Niger section of the report, not only did he NOT "debunk" the claim, he actually gave some intelligence analysts even more reason to believe that it may be true. I believed very strongly that it was important for the Committee to conclude publicly that many of the statements made by Ambassador Wilson were not only incorrect, but had no basis in fact. . . . weeklystandard.com
