"Restore Honesty" -- Joe Wilsonâs unintentionally funny website
by Prof. Glen Harlan "Instapundit" Reynolds.
EFL. This Schadenfreude stuff is delightful fun, isnât it?LIKE MILLI VANILLIâS GRAMMY AWARD, this "Restore Honesty" website by the now-discredited Joe Wilson is mostly of comedic value now. But wait, thereâs more -- scroll to the bottom and youâll see that itâs "Paid for by John Kerry for President, Inc." Quite an embarrassment.
My advice to the Kerry campaign -- say that Wilson is lying about that, too. Itâll be believable!

And reader Michael Pittard emails: "Click on the âWhat I Didnât Find in Africa - By Joe Wilson (The New York Times)â link at the bottom of RestoreHonesty.com. Ha Ha!" Indeed. Meanwhile several readers -- perhaps missing the tongue-in-cheek nature of my advice to Kerry -- note that a whois search shows that the RestoreHonesty.com domain is registered to:
Registrant:
John Kerry for President, Inc.

Domain Name: RESTOREHONESTY.COM

The domain may be good for a while, but I suspect that the page may "expire" before October 22.
And it certainly suggests that even the very first sentence on RestoreHonesty.com is a lie: "Iâm not a politician and Iâm not a political partisan."
Whatever you say, Joe.
