from FDL:

While we are awaiting the resumption of the HJC hearing, I thought folks who hadn’t been able to follow the webcast would appreciate a snippet from today’s testimony. The above YouTube is the full testimony given by Amb. Wilson. From the opening statement given by Amb. Joseph Wilson to the House Judiciary Committee, this is a good synopsis:

Ultimately this concerted effort to discredit me, ruining my wife’s career along the way has had a larger objective. This matter has always been about this administration’s case for war and its willingness to mislead the American people to justify it.

Thanks to the Speaker’s Gavel blog for getting the video stream excerpt up so quickly. We’ll link up the full transcript when and if it becomes available.

1. Thanks, mod mom.

2. My pleasure. I couldn't stomach watching the entire hearing as the pukes

attempt to make it all about Clinton's pardons/commutations so I searched for expert coverage from those who can.

3. That happened while we were all watching another blonde obfuscator

do a litany of "I can't recall"'s. . .?

Yikes.
