CSpan Now...Cliff Kincaid lying about Wilson/Plame
Edited on Sat Jul-31-04 08:50 PM by linazelle
He's saying Wilson's wife did recommend him for the job which constituted a violation of federal nepotism laws. He's saying Bush was right, Wilson lied.

What bullshit.

Oh the topic he's lecturing on? Accuracy in media--he's about to address Michael Moore and F911 and set the record straight. :eyes:

1. I hope someone calls him on it! Pronto!
Wilson must be running ragged about now. I hope he sees Berger's "exoneration" and has hope.

2. Spinster and a jokester...
everyone's a liar except for them and theirs...

Evil incarnate - when Lee Atwater died, a thousand sprang up to replace him. Wonder if Dante had a special Circle of hell for these guys.

7. I just turned it off, too.
having a RWer talk about accuracy in the media only as it applies to liberals is really rather :puke: inducing.

4. Nepostism laws deal with the hiring or promoting of family members
Amb Wilson was not hired or promoted by Plame, even if she did recommend him. He acted as a consultant for the admin and the CIA (Tenet et al). She had not authority to hire. As I recall, she was asked if his experience would qualify him for the assignment and if he might be interested.

No nepotism laws involved. Kincaid is an idiot!

The liars that are trying to diffuse this issue are as responsible for the war crimes as is the admin.

5. I had the humble privilege of shaking Joe Wilson's
hand on Wednesday. I thanked him and told him to keep on fighting. He said a decisive, "I will." I can't imagine how a truth teller whose credibility and whose wife's livelihood has been trashed irrevocably with little kids is carrying on. I wished I had the opportunity to ask him as to whether he was in touch with Sibel Edmonds and Karen Kwiatowski (sp?). If the press was not baring down on him, I might have had the opportunity to say. . .there is safety in numbers. Their stories are so similar. Ever since Collen Rowley's truth telling, I believe that the administration adopted a policy of roasting anyone who opposed them. It stinks and its not at all democratic.

How can we possibly inspire another country to adhere to the doctrine of democratic principles, when we're failing so miserably at embodying them ourselves. . .?
