4. Thanks.
'Former Ambassador Joseph Wilson has many qualities of a good diplomat. He is handsome, articulate, well-groomed and speaks French. During Operation Desert Shield in 1990-91, Wilson did such a courageous job of protecting the 800 or so Americans stranded in Baghdad that he says President George H.W. Bush called him a "true American hero." But no one would describe Wilson, who retired from the State Department in 1998 to become a consultant, as discreet or self-effacing.'

10. They certainly have the handsome part right
Sorry to be so shallow, but a red-blooded American woman like me is bound to notice.

It's heartening to know that such a handsome man is also smart, gutsy, passionate, brave and a patriot in the truest sense.

8. GWB knows how to bubble,
And when GWB takes a bath he leaves a ring. That's what happens when you drink your own bathwater, Chi.

Former Ambassador Joseph Wilson IV was called a "true American hero" by President George H. W. Bush in 1991, to Jessica Tuchman Mathews, President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and former Oklahoma Senator Fred R. Harris, who advocated grassroots, populist policies when he ran for president in the 1970s.

He was hailed as "truly inspiring" and "courageous" by George H. W. Bush..

"In 1991, President George Bush introduced Joseph Wilson to his war Cabinet, calling the veteran diplomat "a true American hero."

7. Joe Wilson's Resume is long and distinguished
and they know it... The right is using his wife again, now to try to smear him in the public. What the right does not see is this is not being tried in the court of public opinion but in a Grand Jury whose decision it will be to indict Rove.
