Waking up with the fleas

This post is a natural sequel to yesterday's review of the Intelligence Committee's report and the Lord Butler report (U.K.), and their impact on Joe Wilson. In that post I did not mention Wilson's ties to the John Kerry campaign, which Wilson soon hopped in bed with while proclaiming himself a non-partisan, truth-telling whistleblower.

Instapundit has been quick to highlight the persistence and perversity of the Kerry-Wilson link as Wilson has been taking a shellacking. Instapundit's page is here, but I can't resist narrating a summary. First, Joe Wilson has a web page on which he pats himself on the back, rips the Bush administration, and endorses John Kerry. The site is RestoreHonesty-dot-com. Stay with me here, and try not to laugh. You might think that with the appearance of these reports and documents showing Wilson to be a liar, Kerry might not want to be coupled too closely with Joe Wilson. Good luck on that though, as the bottom of the web page reads, "Paid for by John Kerry for President, Inc." And Kerry's own website has a copy of this Wilson endorsement page as well. Kerry will be stuck with that tarbaby for a while.

Jonah Goldberg notes that Joe Wilson hasn't been on TV since July 2. Radio news I heard earlier today says that he hasn't been returning calls from reporters. I think we have to consider the possibility that Wilson's hectic media schedule over the past year has tired him out, and maybe he's just resting. Wonder if his CIA wife has any advice for him on disappearing and maintaining deep cover.
