another question about woodrow wilson. wasn't he the one who is deathly ill and he had -- what was wrong? whatever was wrong. pretty much his wife was running things. what kind of effect would you say this had on historians and voters reactions to their opinions and everything? >> well, he had two strokes. he had one most likely in paris during the verse i peace treaty negotiation. their side was campaigning on the behalf of league of nations which was the only thing left from their size and negotiations that he went there today. he was adamant that he was going to do everything possible to get america into the league of nations. he had this stroke in the middle of that. it's very dramatic. nothing happened at that point it cannot happen today. that was that the magnitude of this infirmity was kept from the american people. the people around wilson and his wife essentially manage the country without letting the country know that this is what has happened to their president. that was very unfortunate is a turn of events in

another question about woodrow wilson. wasn't he the one who was deathly ill, and, you know, he had what was it, you know, a stroke or whatever? >> yeah. >> and pretty much his wife was running things. would you say -- what kind of effect would you say this had on historians' and voters' reaction to, their opinions and everything? >> well, he had -- we think he had two strokes. he had one most likely in paris during ther versailles peace treaty negotiations. and he had another much larger stroke that came close to debilitating him while he was campaigning on behalf of the league of nations which was the only thing left from the versailles negotiations that he sort of went there to get. and he was adamant that he was going to do everything possible to get america into the league of nations. and he had this stroke in the middle of that. very dramatic. something happened at that point that couldn't happen today, and that was that the mag think tuesday of this infirmity was kept from the american people. and the people around

marvin wilson was convicted of murdering jerry wilson -- jerry williams during a 1992 fight. witnesses say wilson and an accomplice conducted williams because they thought he had given police details that previously led to wilson's arrest on drug charges. williams was on the next day on the side of the road, he'd been beaten and shot in the head and neck. after wilson was sentenced to die, the supreme court later barred states from executing prisoners with mental retardation. despite claims by wilson's family members that he sucked his thumb into adulthood, texas argues the iq test showing he is developmentally disabled was impartially administered. federal appeals courts have declined to overturn the state's decision. texas state senator rodney ellis, democrat of houston, was cited in a new york times op-ed piece saying -- unless texas governor rick perry or the supreme court intervenes, 53-year-old marvin wilson will be put to death tonight, shortly after 6:00 p.m. central time. he will be the second prisoner executed using a single drug protocol. for more we're joined in b

he was all over wilson's face. and if anything is critical by wilson is his 5' 11 size. it's never bothered him before but that is an issue when you're faced with a 6'6", 6'7" defensive line man. >> seattles on the raiders 35. they emptied the back field, three wide right and two left. wilson lobs one down the left side, right up over the back of shawntae spencer, and they will say he caught the ball inbounds. for now, it's a 25-yard catch and he just jumped up and took it away from spencer. >> golden tate did that a lot. >> he's out. they're going to quick snap and not going to challenge it. i think the raiders did get a challenge in in time. the last play did not count. the red flag was thrown by dennis allen. they tried to quick snap the raiders but the ball clearly was caught out of bounds by golden tate. the turbin run won't count nor the big ball down the sideline to golden tate. >> it's going to be interesting. he comes down, catches, does he have control? no, he's out of bounds with his left foot. the heel hit out of bounds so they'll have to overturn this one. >

they were trying to discredit joe wilson. i think they sort of did not realize exactly how far they were going. this was intentionally a crime to the started whole valerie plame investigation. bush said he would fire anyone who was responsible for the leak. one thing that is absolutely clear is rove, though he is not the only one, scooter al-libi was also indicted and convicted later on, rove played a very key role in this. he did the valerie plame's name, rather, her identity, that she was the wife -- the 120 said, "i did not say her name." he said this is joe wilson's wife is a cj agent. he told that to "time" magazine reporter. rove went on to lie about it again and again. all the and that there's a link in those two clips you just showed of mc rove dancing with the press and joe wilson. what is important in some way is the press's complicity with this. what you see -- when karl rove is your source, you are beholden to him. whoad bob novak's memoir was the man who first printed valerie plame's name. he says rather telling
