| #10 The joke is that Wilson will have to testify in his own lawsuit and he will not be able to refuse to respond for Fifth Amendment or national security reasons. I personally believe that he will drop the lawsuit before depositions begin. |

| #8 “…or to gain an advantage in the civil case." Hah…there’s the real fly in Mr. Wilson’s’ soup. They have absolutely no proof of malice for their civil case and their only hope is to stir enough mud in discovery in order to twist a cloudy narrative. His attorneys know damn well that any precedent set in allowable testimony in a criminal case will likely sink their fishing expedition. |

| #7 This whole thing (plamegate) is just one big steamy pile of nothing, which also summs up Mr. Joe Wilson. |

| #6 the other half of the time he will refuse to answer because he says it will compromise "national security". To which the questioning attorney should say - "It's ok Mr. Wilson, we'll only cover those issues you and the New York Times have already declassified." |

| #5 The best part is that on the stand, half the time he will plead the fifth amendment, and the other half of the time he will refuse to answer because he says it will compromise "national security". |

| #4 Seeing as how this sad yellowcake affair has become Mr. Wilson's own personal retirement fund, what with the book deal, the civil suit $$$, and the celebrity status, I wonder why he's fighting the subpoena? You'd think he'd be attending the trial as a spectator; to see and be seen; to give bombastic sound bites on the courthouse steps each evening. I mean, it's not like he has a job or anything. What could they possibly ask him on the stand? |

| #3 he said his testimony would not be relevant. If that's the case WTF was he yelling about for a few years and ruining the image of the the country and the nation? What at total turd! |

| #1 Don't worry Joe, I think Cheney himself may be there and he's bringing a bird gun along in case he spots a "pheasant" in the court room. You'll be just fine. |
