It seems even liberals are getting pretty sick of Joe Wilson.
The Plank, a New Republic blog, echoes the disgust of Mark Kleiman at Joe Wilson's recent gay-bashing.
You know when they first started trying to come up with a way to discredit me, which we now know started in March of 2003, they went through the old standbys. 'He's had 3 wives, he's a womanizer, he's done drugs.' But then they realized they couldnt' use those because I've never actually denied them. I mean I'm the first to admit that, unlike Ken Mehlman and David Dreier, I really like women.
Wilson the narcissist is desperate to extend his fifteen minutes and is resorting to increasingly strident and violent rhetoric. In doing so, he is doing a far more thorough job discrediting himself than a gross of conservative commentators. They love him on the Daily Kos, so even though the mainstream press thought better of repeating his more egregious utterances, we get the straight feed from his Kossack fans.
Wilson advocates murder: When the Democrats take control of congress, their first order of business needs to be crushing the neoconservativers out of power in every foreign policy arena. Drive a damn stake through the heart of every single one of them, whatever it takes Plans on assaulting Zalmay Khalilzad: Zalmay Khalilzad? I'd like to punch him right in the face. I've never seen met him and I'd prefer never to see his face but yeah. He has never been right about one thing in 20 years. He is simply another neoconservative that has gotten every single thing wrong. Advocates violent revolution: I was flying to Florida the other day and seated next to me was Wayne LaPierre, the head of the NRA, and I thought "ya know Wayne, I've finally come around to your way of thinking. I agree, I think every single person in this nation should be armed with a gun................to protect us from these assholes you keep in power." I didn't actually say that....because that would have been rude. On the governing agenda of a Democrat-controlled Congress: Rep. Ed Markey said the other night that in the last 6 years of the Clinton Administration, the Republican controlled congress issued over 5,000 subpoenas during investigations of the Clinton Administration. In the first 6 years of the Bush administration? Five. Five subpoenas. I think we've got a lot of catching up to do when we take control next year
Its rather remarkable to consider that this man was once a diplomat. Now he makes Howard Dean look like one.

Huh ... I think I understand why he wants to be left alone - he doesn't want people hearing all the things he says!
