Joe and Valerie Wilson: Take Away the Keys to Novak's Corvette

I'm not really sure why Joe and Valerie Wilson saw the need to chime in on this, but the couple have issued a statement to Think Progress commenting on Robert Novak's hit-and-run accident in Washington yesterday. (Novak says he was unaware that he hit someone. An eyewitness, who pursued the columnist on bicycle for a half-block before blocking his car and calling 911, says the victim was "splayed onto the windshield" before rolling off. If so, that would be kinda hard to miss.)

Say the Wilson's, whose lives were upended when Novak blew Valerie's covert CIA cover in a 2003 column:

Our sympathies go out to the victim of Novak's action. Once again Novak has demonstrated his callous disregard for the rights of others, as well as his chronic inability to accept responsibility for his actions.

We have long argued that responsible adults should take Novak's typewriter away. The time has arrived for them to also take away the keys to his Corvette.

Grandpa got run over by a douchebag,
Crossing over K Street in DC,
You can say there's no such thing as Novak,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Novak's pushing seventy-seven,
'Bout as cranky as you can get,
But he took his medication,
And stumbled to the door of his Corvette.

When they found Grandpa in K Street,
At the scene of the attack.
There were tire tracks on his forehead,
And douchebag windshield wipers in his back.

Joe and Valerie Wilson's statement/comment about Bob Novak make me sick. They are very hateful people and should be ashamed of their comment and lack of compassion.

It's time for them to go away!

The Wilson's comment shows only that they lack class, humanity and judgment.

You are quite right to note that they also loathe to admit that their 15 minutes is up.

If Novak was trying to flee he should be penalized severely. But for now, it seems the police accept what his doctors have found and no one with an ounce of humanity piles on under these circumstances.

The Wilson's made their comment BEFORE it was known that Novak had a tumor. Are we all to assume that everyone who commits a crime has a brain tumor and as such must be treated gingerly?
