So what's the RW spin now on Valerie Plame?
The obvious contradiction with their spin on her was that either

A. She had enough clout and power to arrange for the CIA to send her unqualified hubby on the Niger mission.

OR

B. She was just Little Miss Nobody with a desk job at the CIA.

These contradictions are so ridiculous they are laughable!

1. You sound like you think they are REALITY-BASED.
They aren't. All that matters is what they believe.

2. But it's fun to bring it up to them
and watch them try to squirm their way out of it.

3. "I heard that everybody knew Plame was CIA"
just 10 minutes ago I fielded this retarded statement by asking "Then why was a grand jury empanelled to find out how it got out? Doesn't that fact make ya think her undercover status has already been confirmed?" DUH. Neighbor: "Well, yeah, now that you mention it."

Same neighbor: "I heard that Fitzgerald just has an axe to grind."

Me : "Uh, I'm going to go let the dog out. Bye."

4. "Everybody knew? Was a poll taken?"
is what I like to reply. Also, "What do you mean by 'everybody?'Do you have any empirical evidence that everybody knew this? If so, please cite your source. Thank you and have a nice day."

5. Buchanan and others said it was Congress' fault....
Congress had the power to investigate the going to war details, instead they rubber stamped bush's request for war.

If Ambassador Wilson, Clarke and others in high office spoke against the war and their characters almost killed, why would a republican congress investigate anything. Congress wanted to show 300% support for little bush.
