Re: "atop the Republican National Committee’s current list of “Joe Wilson’s Top Ten Worst Inaccuracies and Misstatements” sits this priority item: “Wilson insisted that the Vice President’s office sent him to Niger.” This is a deliberate distortion of what Wilson has said, but if we were to address all such distortions we would be here all day. Besides, the RNC would very much like us to focus on the distortions and our media have allowed themselves to be led by the nose. So let’s leave this one aside for the moment." Funny that the writer left this aside for the whole rest of the article. The other night I heard a republican defender saying loosely that Wilson had said the V.P. sent him, and the Wilson defender replied that he was wrong, and that Wilson had actually just said that the V.P.'s office sent him, rather than the V.P. personally. So it seems to me that the RNC says essentially exactly what the Wilson defender claimed really happened. At this point, it's difficult to imagine what the writers problem is with the RNC's characterization, he never says. Seems to me there IS no problem here as suggested but not explained, above. It seems that Wilson said the V.P.'s office set things in motion, and the RNC agrees that that's what Wilson said (unlike the Republican on TV the other night). Cheney may well be innocent, and once fingers were pointed essentially his way, of COURSE an innocent Cheney would defend himself. There isn't much "there" there, in your posted article, IMO. Dan B.
