Wilson urges Washington Post to probe Woodward

Self-appointed people's tribune Ex-Ambassador Wilson now instructs the Washington Post front office to probe why Woodward did NOT assist in leaking classified information concerning his wife Valerie Plame back in June of 2003.

Let's get this straight. Wilson claims that Mr. Libby should be prosecuted for "outing" his wife and Mr. Woodward should be "probed" as to why he did NOT reveal Wilson's wife's position.

The State Department has thousands of public servants who quietly work on matters impinging on consular issues, international conferences, national security, trade and economic interests, and bilateral/multlateral relations around the globe.

Occasionally Foggy Bottom will be afflicted by a self-serving careerist whose chief loyalty is to his/her own interests. These types are very few and far between.

However, Wilson appears to be straining to attain a Guinness record for working the system to aggrandize his book and speaking-tour reimbursements. First, he gets his CIA spouse to recommend him for a top-secret mission to Niger---a mission the CIA should have undertaken itself, one would think.

Then this grandiose specimen outs himself in an Op-Ed piece in the NYT, knowing full well that his wife's role in getting him the spooky assignment might be revealed. In addition, to magnify his own importance, the Op-Ed implied VP Cheney's office requested the mission. Wilson's exaggerations, shaving the truth, and yearning for the spotlight are all obvious. In addition, the whole subject concerning Niger was still covered as classified information, but strangely, no one yet has recommended that Wilson be pursued for revealing secret material.

Then the "Plame Leak" by Robert Novak put the fat in the fire. Although Plame had not had a covert job in over five years and thus was not covered by the statute, the MSM began its huffing and puffing. Vanity Fair's columnist [FNU] Wolfe hyped the obvious molehill into a mighty mountain. As the DNC's chief publicist, the MSM collectively wished out loud that the leaker be Karl Rove.....oh, please make it be Karl.

And now, Wilson continues to upstage credible critics. Using Richard Clarke as his template, Wilson jumps up and down and holds his breath like Cindy Sheehan with an education. Wilson even tells adoring leftie students he can't be their hero and run for office because [besides being a self-described ski-bum and serial husband] he INHALED. Perhaps this is the other litmus test that remains to block one from running for office, besides strong opposition to infanticide.

Now that Fitzpatrick has been beatified in the liberal secular canonization process, Woodward' apt description of the case as laughable and Fitzgerald's behavior as "disgraceful" will cause cognitive dissonance among the mindless liberal left hordes yearning for a hero.

Woodward's keen olfactory instincts for fraud were simply overwhelmed by the stink-bomb that is Wilson. His good taste and a residuum of moral fiber has made Woodward vulnerable to the stampeding MSM, so this weekend should see much pious yammering from the commentariat trying to gauge how much they should stain this Watergate icon with their invertebrate ooze.
