A Pilgrim’s Digression

I could not let this pass. Then I will officially be on hiatus.

A week and a half after Chattanooga Times Free Press reporter Lee Pitts boasted that he worked with Army Specialist Thomas Wilson (search) to craft that tough question about armor on military vehicles for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in Kuwait, Wilson now insists he came up with the question all by himself.

In an interview with Time magazine, Wilson says that after realizing only soldiers could ask questions, Pitts urged him to think of “intelligent questions.” So Wilson came up with the armor question and three others. He says Pitts suggested he find a “less brash way of asking the question.” But Wilson refused, insisting, “I wanted to make my point very clear.”

Do you think this will silence Limbaugh and his fellow wankers who insist Wilson’s question is illegitimate because he was prompted to ask it by a reporter? The quote is from Brit Hume’s “Grapevine” blog.
