Robert Novak\u2019s latest column sets straight all the distortions the Democrats and their willing accomplices in the press have used to blow this Mrs. Joe Wilson story up 300 times what it is. Read the story right here, or listen to me read it in the audio link below. It sounds like this Wilson guy is on a legacy quest; according to a Washington Post story saying he\u2019s obsessed with his obituary. Everything started with Novak\u2019s question: Why was a Clinton administration official with no journalistic credentials named to investigate uranium in Niger?<\/p>\n

Novak\u2019s report was not based upon a leak, but rather on an aside to answer this question. This was not a planned leak. No other reporters were called by some dark figure shopping a smear. But that story sounds so good that we have the outrage machine in full bore. It happened as a side-bar. What do we get? We get the ‘faking it outrage machine\u2019 hammering at full bore from Tom Daschle to Nancy Pelosi. The liberals need this to be Watergate, so the media wants to help them turn it into exactly that. <\/p>\n

Stephen Hess of the Brookings Institute actually said that this is worse than Watergate because someone\u2019s life is endangered here. Pelosi gave a similar rant about the ‘chilling effect\u2019 this would have. Folks, Mrs. Wilson\u2019s job – and her publicly available name, Valerie Plame, which is on her husband\u2019s bio, etc. – was relevant to Novak in answering the question of why Joe Wilson was picked for this ‘investigation.\u2019 We put that word in quotes, because by his own admission reported by Clifford May formerly of the New York Times, the ‘investigation\u2019 primarily consisted of Wilson sitting around slurping ‘sweet mint tea\u2019 in Niger. <\/p>\n

Why doesn\u2019t the media voluntarily say what it knows? That way, the government\u2019s not forcing them to reveal their sources. The media is stoking this into a scandal. They could totally shut this down, but there\u2019s not one word to Novak to do so because they want the investigation. The effort here is to pin some illegality on Bush personally so that they can create a scandal. They think that he\u2019s had a three-year free ride where everything he said was believed, because he could always cite 9\/11. Now the press is saying, ‘Wait a minute. We\u2019re not going to be cowed by this 9\/11 business or the war on terror. We\u2019re going to demand some answers.\u2019 Fine, but how about demanding answers from their own?<\/p>\n
