"Restore Honesty" -- Joe Wilson’s unintentionally funny website
2004-07-15
by Prof. Glen Harlan "Instapundit" Reynolds.
EFL. This Schadenfreude stuff is delightful fun, isn’t it?
LIKE MILLI VANILLI’S GRAMMY AWARD, this "Restore Honesty" website by the now-discredited Joe Wilson is mostly of comedic value now. But wait, there’s more -- scroll to the bottom and you’ll see that it’s "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. It’ll be believable!

[snip]

And reader Michael Pittard emails: "Click on the ’What I Didn’t Find in Africa - By Joe Wilson (The New York Times)’ 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.
519 C St. NE
Washington, District of Columbia 20002
United States

Registered through: GoDaddy.com
Domain Name: RESTOREHONESTY.COM
Created on: 22-Oct-03
Expires on: 22-Oct-04
Last Updated on: 22-Oct-03


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: "I’m not a politician and I’m not a political partisan."

Whatever you say, Joe.

#4  But wait . . . there's more Schadenfreude to come!

Salon.com is featuring Joe Wilson as the main attraction of its "Seminar Cruise" this September. He'll be appearing along with former Texas governor Ann Richards (who lost to GWB), Sidney Blumenthal (Clinton White House spin artist and attack dog) and Joe Conason (Wilson's #1 defender).

I have one question: will there be any 688-class attack subs operating in the Caribbean at that time?
