The Bottom Line
Remember when the job responsibilities of vice president were considered laughable? When the main function of a vice president was to sit in an office and wait for the funeral of a deceased, far-off head of state? Well, if that's the traditional importance placed on the job of vice president, how much importance is placed on the role of one of his assistants? Just asking... Most Americans don't have the foggiest idea who Lewis Libby is. But they do know he's not Karl Rove or Dick Cheney. By Ed Moltzen · 30 October 2005

Isn't Libby New York Governor Pataki's wife? -- Yawn. This family feud goes way back. Joe Wilson was the last (acting) U.S. Ambassador to Iraq during Saddam's regime, and was there since 1988. He and Ambassador April Glaspie have the unofficial (but extremely under-recognized) distinction of miscalculating Saddam's threats to reclaim Kuwaiti soil in 1991. Saddam made these threats several times before invading Kuwait, and yet our Diplomats on the ground blew the call. Joe Wilson is on shaky ground to criticize any Iraqi strategy.
