Yes, it should go without saying ... but deep in Freeperland and NRO and Red State and other loony winger sites, the delusional are hooking up with the demented to assert that the other source that Judith Miller is protecting is none other than Joseph Wilson himself, that he outed his own wife for craven publicity purposes and that Patrick Fitzgerald is contemplating an indictment of the former ambassador who has proven to be quite the pain in the ass for the Bush administration.
Well, it just ain't so. I contacted Wilson yesterday and asked him flat out: Are you a source for Miller? Is she protecting you? His response:
No. I have only spoken to Miller once in my life and that was on election night 2004 when we were at the same birthday party. She came up and introduced herself. Legitimate question but it was not I.
So sorry, winger conspiracy nuts. It's going to be a tough week for you. No silver lining. No frog-marching for Wilson, the man you all have come to love to hate.
(To which Wilson says, "I don't much care what the right wing is saying. The more they churn, the more they will deflate when indictments finally do come down.")
Time to move on to the "Hillary did it" meme, my Freeper friends, which has about as much traction as a flat tire in a New England snowdrift.
