Joe Wilson and courage


The noose that slowly tightens around Karl Rove's worthless neck is figurative, but the noose that Joe Wilson once wore was very real:
Wilson's most famous moment-the one that got him in the headlines around the world-came in late September 1990, after he had received a diplomatic note that threatened execution to anyone harboring foreigners. Since Wilson himself had put up about 60 Americans at the ambassador's residence and other places, he gave a press briefing during which he wore a noose he'd asked one of the embassy Marines to prepare that morning. "If the choice is to allow American citizens to be taken hostage or to be executed, I will bring my own fucking rope," he said.
No wonder the Bushies hate Joe Wilson. He has guts.

 Yeah, this is pretty much their SOP. Wilson is a hero, plain and simple. Ergo, he must be smeared.
Glad you're back.
