2. If possible, I have even more respect for the man.

"When an indictment is delivered at the front door of the White House, the Office of the President is defiled. No citizen can take pleasure from that."

Forgive me while I dance a jig, Joe, I'm only human!

:party:

[peekaloo]

7. He's a man of integrity.

The Office of the President has been defiled since Jan. 2001.

It is a sad day.

The fundies wanted the second coming of Jesus, they got Nixon instead.

:bounce:

17. I can take pleasure in the fact the some gov't agency is trying to hold

the people in the White House accountable.

[Kurovski]

21. Be as human as you need to. This is from my sunken thread:

With all due respect to former Ambassador Joe Wilson, I'm personally happy that after five years it appears there is a chance that we can once again regain our government.

It's a day of joy and long hoped-for comfort for those of us who watched in horror as America was denigrated on many levels by this administration, while few people seemed to care and some others took pains to silence us.

Many of us knew--yes, we knew--even during campaign 2000, what nonsense and danger America would have to endure with BushCo in the White House.

We wrote about it then, and have sacrificed years of our lives since to keep telling anyone who would listen.

Today is a day of happiness and some relief for those of us who have suffered with the knowledge that our government was being damaged daily for five years while concerned and aware citizens were basically ignored. At times even scorned for their activism.

It is perhaps a sad day for those to whom all this corruption is news, but for others, it's a day of thanksgiving that our Democracy has a chance to be returned to a path of decency.

24. Well said :o) n/t

22. I'll go ahead and take the pleasure in it too!

Hear, hear!

Statement of Ambassador Joseph Wilson with Respect to the Indictment
(To be read by his attorney Christopher Wolf at 3:00 p.m. - 10/28/05)

The five count indictment issued by the Grand Jury today is an important step in the criminal justice process that began more than two years ago. I commend Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald for his professionalism, for his diligence, and for his courage.

There will be many opportunities in the future to comment on the events that led to today's indictment. And, it appears that there will be further developments before the grand jury. Whatever the final outcome of the investigation and the prosecution, I continue to believe that revealing my wife Valerie's secret CIA identity was very wrong and harmful to our nation, and I feel that my family was attacked for my speaking the truth about the events that led our country to war. I look forward to exercising my rights as a citizen to speak about these matters in the future.

Today, however, is not the time to analyze or to debate. And it is certainly not a day to celebrate. Today is a sad day for America. When an indictment is delivered at the front door of the White House, the Office of the President is defiled. No citizen can take pleasure from that.


As this case proceeds, Valerie and I are confident that justice will be done. In the meantime, I have a request. While I may engage in public discourse, my wife and my family are private people. They did not choose to be brought into the public square, and they do not wish to be under the glare of camera. They are entitled to their privacy. This case is not about me or my family, no matter how others might try to make it so.

This case is about serious criminal charges that go to the heart of our democracy.


We, like all citizens, await the judgment of the jury in a court of law.


Thank you.

5. they must feel vindicated today - or at least feel

like their country is not completely in the toilet.

9. "This case is not about me or my family....."

"This case is not about me or my family, no matter how others might try to make it so."

GOT THAT, Rush, Hannity et.al.?

They're ALREADY "going there." (e.g. "it's Joe Wilson's fault)
Bastards.

[Tatiana]

8. Kick

This should be a sticky too. After all, it was the outing of Mr. Wilson's wife that brought us all to this point.

[Beaverhausen]

10. another kick- this needs to be on the Greatest page

votes anyone?

[Coexist]

11. I'll help - recommended

Celebratory Yellow-cake in the oven.

12. "And it is certainly not a day to celebrate."

Yeah, merry fucking Fitzmas ass holes.

19. He's definitely a bigger man than I am

Cause I'm about to pop open a bottle of wine. My only regret is that it isn't French.

16. Wilson has so much class. Too bad he is not the president.

Instead, look at the nutball terrorist we have in office, having stolen *two* elections.

15. He certainly seems to expect more 'steps' to be taken

along the way...

[Spazito]

20. Yes, he states that clearly

"And, it appears that there will be further developments before the grand jury."

Another affirmation that this is not yet over.

[Midnight Rambler]

18. "When an indictment is delivered at the front door of the White House..."

"...the Office of the President is defiled."

As if it hasn't already been defiled enough.

[Lindsay]

23. It was defiled the first time Chimpy walked in.

But Mr. Wilson is truly a diplomat.
