Clown Wilson & Wife: “We will not go away!”

Will the Clown and his wife ever just go away?

(Just click the play button to listen)

You think they’re gone? They’re never gone! Somebody get them some radical new therapy!

Clown Wilson and his wife, Valerie Plame, are now suing Dick Cheney and “pretty much everyone, really.”

As the VOA is reporting it:

A former CIA agent has sued several top officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney and former presidential adviser Karl Rove for their roles in the public disclosure of her classified identity.

Former agent Valerie Plame and her husband, former U.S. ambassador Joseph Wilson, also named Cheney’s former chief of staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby and 10 other unnamed senior officials in Thursday’s suit.

The suit alleges that the officials conspired to seek revenge against Wilson for criticizing the administration’s reasons for invading Iraq.

But it gets better. What exactly did these folks do to poor Mr. and Mrs. Clown Wilson?

The couple say the officials violated their constitutional and privacy rights in order to “punish” Mr Wilson for his comments.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensation and punitive damages as well as legal costs.

Privacy rights? As Nathan Goulding points out over at NRO’s Media Blog:

Publicity Hounds Sue for Invasion of Privacy

I too wish for the opportunity to opine on TV, attend black tie events, have my picture appear in major magazines . . . and then sue the government for invasion of privacy. It’s the American dream.

Ridiculous.

In other news, Mrs. Clown Wilson just snagged a new publisher for her memoirs. My…it’s been a busy day in the Wilson house!

    Hmmm, interesting side you’ve fallen on on this one. How did this whole thing start again? How dare the Wilsons get upset and file a lawsuit. A LEGAL lawsuit (excuse the redundancy). Hmmm.. I can only imagine your uproar if someone in this whole debacle had done something possibly illegal. Oh wait, I did hear about someone under investigation, but nevermind.. those damn Wilsons!

    How did this whole thing start again?

    Clown Wilson wrote an Op-Ed about his trip to Niger. A gig that his wife got him.

    How dare the Wilsons get upset and file a lawsuit.

    Exactly. They are publicity hounds. Filing a lawsuit which claims their “privacy rights” were violated is hilarious.

    A LEGAL lawsuit (excuse the redundancy).

    Sure. I could sue you for posting on our blog. It would be legal…but, like Clown Wilson’s suit, it would be ridiculous.

    Hmmm.. I can only imagine your uproar if someone in this whole debacle had done something possibly illegal.

    Indeed. Does Truthout still think Rove is about to be indicted?

    Oh wait, I did hear about someone under investigation, but nevermind..

    Yup…no Fitzmas for you! ;)
