I’m sending her an earfull again re: this issue. I’m calling on all Michigan Voters to do the same.

no it’s just that she has steel balls and his are pewter……..

and as for wilson, he’s got a right to support/endorse whomever he wants to……..and instead of bashing him about it, why don’t we ask him, i’m sure he has well-thought out sound reasons……..after all, he is no dummy, as many of you like to state……..i seriously doubt that anyone ‘got to him’ he is not a weak-minded human being……pretty ballsy of him to endorse someone so early, is what i’m thinkin’…….i don’t agree with it, but i admire him for using his voice where he thinks it merits…….after all, it is his voice to use……..

Why am I not surprised…

Jeez Clinton voted for the war resolution, Wilson tried to stop the WMD horseshit. Clinton is unable to admit a very serious mistake, and kept repeating “If only I knew then what I know now” hogwash. (she has stopped repeating this flimsy response) Clinton was being a hawk with Iran up until recently.

Who got to Wilson?

establishment money begets establishment money

Do have one correction though: GOP actually stands for

Graft, Oil, Pietism

Mayfly

I agree with Redd. I’m a HUGE Valery Plame fan, but I’m sort of tepid on Joe after he endorsed collective punishment, a war crime, IMHO, for the Palestinian people right here, at firedoglake.

He’s done many courageous things over the course of his public and private life, but he’s probably put a lot of thought into which Dem candidate would probably win, probably come closest to his neo-lib views, and give him a high-profile job, from which he could vindicate his legacy from the wingnut slanders he and Valerie undergo hourly.

ET – was that the sestak thread or another one? (the wilson palestinian comment) thanks.

I’m pretty sure it was.

For lack of a better word, I think this kind of attitude is inappropriate. These two aren’t political figures. They were public servants, one a whistleblower, the other a victim of treason. They’re so inextricably linked in history now that to be a “fan” of one over the other is frivolously irrelevant.

Wilson was a participant in broad foreign policy aims that have helped make our country and the world a worse place. That didn’t matter in 2003, when he became the most important single voice in exposing the crime of invading Iraq. Meanwhile, for all we know, Plame’s counterproliferation work could have been the same kind the Israelis practice. In the end, however, I don’t need to know more about their careers or their human, and therefore imperfect, personae to know that an attack on them was an attack on me and the welfare of my country.

I’m not a “fan” of anyone. Sorry to be a groove-killer, but I say the “gushing” needs to stop.

Yeah, I’m the guy that got flamed for questioning Kos as our “leader” a few miles back.

Gushing? When ours stand up, even after all this time, we stand up with them, like we said we would do.

Sometimes I get discouraged, and feel like my calls make no difference … but, it does to me, so i’ll continue contacting them whenever the situation requires.
