The Rope-a-Dope Is Accomplished in Six Stages ---and the Seventh Brings Return
Now Playing: "Chapter 24" by the Pink Floyd
With Wolf Blitzer on CNN yesterday, Joe Wilson, who is a liar, had this exchange:

BLITZER: [...] the other argument that's been made against you is that you've sought to capitalize on this extravaganza, having that photo shoot with your wife, who was a clandestine officer of the CIA, and that you've tried to enrich yourself writing this book and all of that.

What do you make of those accusations, which are serious accusations, as you know, that have been leveled against you?

WILSON: My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity.

BLITZER: But she hadn't been a clandestine officer for some time before that?

WILSON: That's not anything that I can talk about.

One extremely stupid interpretation of the quote I emphasized above is that Wilson meant that Plame ceased to be a clandestine officer by virtue of Novak's disclosure. If Wilson meant to say that, wouldn't he have said that she ceased to be a clandestine officer or that Novak caused her to not be such an officer anymore?

It's hard to believe that Wilson's telling the truth here since it absolutely cuts the giblets from his [charge], but he is: Valerie Plame had not been an undercover agent posted abroad for some six years by the time of the Great Outing.

Go read the IIPA and see what that means for Karl Rove, you smegma-chewing felch-monkeys.
