Hiring Joe Wilson versus hiring Michael Brown
Conservatives oppose Joe Wilson because he is not loyal to a politician for political reasons, he tells the truth and most importantly he is competent. Conservatives would rather have humans like michael brown on the federal payroll. It continues to suck being a conservative in America today.

1. I think they are kicking themselves
for hiring him. I wonder who did it? Was it Cheney's office, or was it Valerie Plame, like some have said?

Either way, it was a fatal mistake. Cheney has lived to regret it.

Ambassador Joe Wilson is truly Cheney's Nemesis.

3. Cheney told the CIA
he wanted info about uranium in Niger. Plame told her bosses her husband had worked in the region and had contacts. The CIA asked him to go there and check it out. He later said that Cheney wanted him to go. The right wing spin machine twisted that into a lie. I wander what the spin would have been if Wilson had been the expected loyal lapdog and came back with a report that cheney wanted? No doubt scooter would have taken credit for hiring Wilson. How sad being a conservative in America today.

2. The difference is Brown puts more money in their pockets
while Wilson throws a wrench in their plans.
