Many people refer to Valerie Plame's husband Joe Wilson as a political hack. The left wing activist is a hero to the fringe part of the base and does carry some weight with that slice of the Democratic Party. In what sounds like a job interview Joe Wilson has announced that he is endorsing Hillary Clinton. "I'm delighted to fight the fight with her. ... The person who has always reached out to us has been Hillary. ... I think Hillary is a fighter. ... She is a wonderful individual. ... More diplomacy the better. There is no daylight between us on Iran," he said.

He adds, "She's been a policy wonk since she was 21 and in school." Wilson believes Clinton is the one that understands the adversary we're all facing and will fight for us better than the rest of the field. "This is not a job interview," said Wilson, in response to the possibility of being in a Clinton administration.

I'm not real certain what to make of this. Joe Wilson was a disaster for John Kerry in 2004 and Kerry finally had to dump him. He may not be much better her for Hillary. Though it's likely she won't make the same mistake that Kerry did and hire him.
