Wilson/Plame Political Donations

While discussing the Plame/Wilson/Libby controversy over the weekend I was reminded that Wilson was in fact a Republican. Well maybe, but none of my Republican friends have been slinging cash to Ted Kennedy or Hillary Clinton lately.

Federal records indicate Joe Wilson has made $7750 in political donations since 1999. Of that $4250 went to Democrats including John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and Al Gore. Republicans, including George Bush received $2500. Strangely enough Wilson donated $1000 each to Al Gore and George Bush over a 60 day period in 1999. Another thousand dollars is classified as "special interest" went to Hillary Clinton's political action committee HillPac the just 2 weeks before he arrived in Niger.

Valerie Plame on the other hand much less conflicted limiting her donations to Al Gore and the left wing group America Coming Together.
