Let's get those White House Talking Points in Shape Alright, in Order: * He's disgruntled * He's embittered * He's a democrat * He's just looking to sell a book * He's a likes to wear women's underwear * He is pro-choice and therefore objectively pro-Al Qaeda * He pretended to throw his medals. There, that should get the Bush Administration through the first two or three days. In preparation for this. The Bush administration is bracing itself for the latest memoir by a former insider. Joe Wilson, a former ambassador, will this week reveal the name of the government official who "outed" his wife - revealing her identity as a CIA operative in apparent revenge for his role in proving the White House made false claims about Iraq's efforts to develop nuclear weapons. ... His memoir, The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies that Led to War and Betrayed My Wife's CIA Identity, is published tomorrow. ... Mr Wilson initially claimed it was Mr Bush's senior political adviser, Karl Rove, who leaked his wife's identity, though he has since stepped back somewhat from that allegation. Reports suggest that other potential leakers could be Mr Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby or else John Hannah, a senior national security aide on the Vice-President's staff. Either way, if anyone in the White House is found guilty of the leak to Mr Novak and others, it would be very damaging to Mr Bush as he campaigns for reelection. Now, once the flurry of denials come out and Karen Hughes goes on television and calls him a traitor, I don't know of any more big-time books coming down the pike about the Bush Administration. ...outside of my graphic erotic novel that is.
