“OK folks, look, I messed up. I skimmed this piece, zeroed in on the neocon criticism, and shared it without seeing and considering the rest,” Wilson tweeted.

She also said she “missed gross undercurrents” in the post and thanked Twitter users for urging her to take another look at the article’s argument.

“I’m not perfect and make mistakes. This was a doozy. All I can do is admit them, try to be better, and read more thoroughly next time. Ugh,” Wilson added.

1. Oh boy...

This is what we need to learn in the age of Twitter and re-tweeting:
In the impotal words of "Ricky Roma", "YOU NEVER OPEN YOUR MOUTH UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT THE SHOT IS."

3. Wasn't she a security analyst?

She knows better

4. Yes, she "should know better"..but I guess she doesn't..

5. FYI it's "Plame" n/t

6. Just because she was a spy doesn't make her superhuman, especially in her personal life.

She reacted, she even said what it was that she reacted to "zeroed in on neocon criticism" and apologized very nicely in my opinion.

Next.

8. You don't need to be a superhuman to read the title of the article.

Obviously she related to that in some sense.

9. In her defense, the article title was "Americas Jews Are Driving Americas Wars".

So, you know, that could mean just about anything.

11. Some think since she was a spy she isn't allowed to make a mistake.

What are apologies for if they are not accepted, especially when that persons character is basically known to be decent or good?

She apologized, completely and understood where she went wrong in retweeting it. You really can't ask for more from anyone. She could have not apologized, she had that choice.

13. Her apology is WORTHLESS

because this isn't the first time for her to engage in retweeting anti-Jewish sentiment. Go ahead and forgive her, certainly your right. I've already seen what's in her black heart.

10. There is no "undercurrent" the article is titled "America's Jews Are Driving America's Wars"

Her problem is that she got caught.

12. This isn't her first time doing something like this:

14. If she didn't read it completely

Why was she saying this just a couple of hours before?

So at 8:51 AM she's telling everyone they need to "Read the entire article and try, just for a moment, to put aside your biases and think clearly.'


And then at 10:11 AM she's all 'Hey. I only skimmed it"

Sure. That's believable.
