Barefoot and Wilson

This is the latest attempt at smearing Joe Wilson (you know... Niger, yellow-cake, false-pretense-for-the-invasion-of-a-sovereign-state-turns-out-
we-lied/were-wrong-
besides-Saddam-was-worse-and-we-can't-leave-it-up-to-Iraqis-to-decide-
when-they--are prepared-to-sacrifice-thousands-of-lives-
and-throw-their-country-into-turmoil-low/med/high-grade-
civil-war-stuff-happens, married to a CIA agent).

They seem to be going for the 'Mr Mom' argument:

He ought to have expected that both those officials and journalists such as Mr. Novak would ask why a retired ambassador would have been sent on such a mission and that the answer would point to his wife.

Yes, damned uppity former-Ambassador shoulda done stayed at home.

A more in-depth (as in intelligent) comment over at NO QUARTER.

Tip-dog

BTW - I recently, for the first time, saw a pic of Wilson's wife.. damn! It's good to be the Ambassador...
