I've never been paid by a politician or given money to a politician. I've never worked on a campaign or worked for an elected official. I've never run for office or been appointed to any government position at any level. Few, if any of my colleagues can make the same claim.

I know you are unhappy that I exposed that Ambassador Joe Wilson was dishonest about how he came to be sent to Niger and as a result was forced to resign from the Kerry campaign, and that Senator Tom Daschle had signed an affidavit declaring himself to be a primary resident of Washington, DC and not South Dakota that contributed to his defeat and that I was the first to point a finger at '60 Minutes' producer Mary Mapes in the CBS Memogate scandal for which she was eventually fired.
