To bad for Chris Mathews and Kieth Uberstpdman and all their moonbat legions, that Darth Vader was not forced to do a perp walk. Max Boot adds insult to injury by putting the record straight vis a vi Wilson's honesty.
Plamegate's real liar - Los Angeles Times
Making the best of a weak hand, Democrats argued that the case was not about petty-ante perjury but, as Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid put it, "about how the Bush White House manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to bolster its case for the war in Iraq and to discredit anyone who dared to challenge the president." The problem here is that the one undisputed liar in this whole sordid affair doesn't work for the administration. In his attempts to turn his wife into an antiwar martyr, Joseph C. Wilson IV has retailed more whoppers than Burger King.
The least consequential of these fibs was his denial that it was his wife who got him sent to Niger in February 2002 to check out claims that Saddam Hussein had tried to buy uranium. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence later stated, in a bipartisan report, that evidence indicated it was Mrs. Wilson who "had suggested his name for the trip." By leaking this fact to the news media, Libby and other White House officials were merely setting the record straight — not, as Wilson would have it, punishing his Mata Hari wife.
Max ends thinking it was to bad Wilson could not be charged for having completely misled the public. As for me, I say we have an inquiry into a possible conspiracy to undermine the foreign policy of our nation. Maybe Mathews will do a special with nifty graphics.
