Ta da!!!...You guys are great...I signed up with photo bucket after the lesson this am
so now....here ya go







I've been trying to figure out how to post these since I took them...the day after his interview on 60 minutes...I like these photos...and i loved his speech to a very sparse audience at the UCSC campus...some students and some interested citizens...but not many given the bombshell he had dropped on the nation the night before..
I have great respect for Ambassador Wilson..he spoke to the students with passion and conviction and intelligence...

I just gave up trying to post these until today...when you guys pitched in to teach me how to do this ..and then introduced me to photobucket...thanks again...

1. Nice peep pics
Wilson is a class act IMHO. Glad ya' got the whole pixie-posting thing figured out.

2. xiamiam, you've probably just cost me my marriage
'cause when my wife sees these, I'm just an old guy who isn't a former ambassador, isn't a great American patriot, and isn't graying in anywhere near as splendid a fashion as Joe Wilson.

:argh:

3. Yes, JeffR was right, xiamiam ...
... my first reaction was, "Oh.My.God. THAT is one great-looking guy." And he is. No, seriously, he is.

All of that aside, these are GREAT photographs - you've really captured the no-nonsense approach that sets Joe Wilson apart from the crowd.

As for JeffR, he's STILL the most important American patriot in my life - and then some.

4. See, she's talking a good game while my destiny hangs by a thread...
Saw it coming, and what cold comfort that is.

5. All these years later ...
... you're still The Guy.

And for all of his patriotism, good looks, intelligence, good looks, accomplishments and good looks, Joe would never have passed the Football Quiz with such flying colours -- would have flubbed it on the 'Just God' answer, and we both know it.

6. Just 'cause he and his superspy wife were busy with all their
matters-of-geopolitical-consequence-and-stuff. He probably knows more about football than I do. After all, he's not a Miamian...

8. In all of this back-and-forth ...
... we've forgotten that I am not exactly Valerie Plame material.

Espionage, putting your life on the line, making the world safe for democracy - this is for the 'young peeble'.

9. This is turning into something from a Bergman film. but...
Valerie ain't got nothin' on you, except she long ago learned the allure of sunglasses, and she knows how to use it...

14. ok then..here are a few more..i especially like the last one..a student
who approached Ambassador Wilson immediately after his speech...so appropriate because he was there teaching about and explaining the absolute necessity of citizens participation in government...as well as his personal story, etc











thanks for letting me share these..i hate to admit but very few ..other than here at du and other political sites...have an appreciation for or even know who Joe Wilson is....
