Susan Schmidt's WaPo article blaming Wilson, Plame discredited as hackwork

[johnfunk]

Susan Schmidt is known, happily among DC Republicans and not so happily among DC Democrats, as what you might call the "Mikey" (a la Life Cereal fame) of the DC press corps, especially when the cereal is coming from Republican staffers.

This morning she has an article on the Senate intel report and Joe Wilson, specifically focusing on the relevance of Wilson's reporting on Niger (the report says analysts did not see Wilson's findings as weakening claims that Iraq had sought to purchase uranium from Niger) and his wife's role in recommending him for the assignment.

We'll discuss the broader issues of Plame's role in Wilson's assignment and the underlying question of the alleged Iraq-Niger negotiations.

1. Man! He really put the smack-down on her sloppy "reporting"

Excellent read. Her continued employment is yet another example of how low the Post has stooped. They actually sell this shit.
