Ass…

Following columnist Robert Novak’s revelation earlier this week that the source for the “outing” of Valerie Plame was not in fact Vice President Cheney, Karl Rove, or any of the usual people lefties wish to see in handcuffs and shackles, Plame and h…

[...] Might as well. Rove skated, Novak blamed it all on a big misunderstanding — their martyrdom juice is almost spent. A nice, protracted civil suit is just the transfusion they need. [...]

Yet another case where I wish the GOP had more b@alls…

Sandy Berger takes out documents from a secure site in his trousers and ‘loses’ them, and the President says, “That’s okay Sandy, I know it was a mistake.” Never mind that he KNEW what he was doing was prohibited, and that the documents were potentially very important.

Novak puts the name of a non-classified CIA employee in the middle of a news piece; a person who incidentally was outed to various friends numerous times by her husband. However, since they are Dems and anti-Bush, you and I have had our tax dollars spent on a special prosecutor who has concluded that it was indeed the non-event we all thought it was.

Am I missed some subtlety here that makes this Plame thing important?

I wonder when Who’s Who is going to be indicted for outing Plame….

What a farce. Leaking the name of some paper pusher is more important than leaking classified information.

I see Novak released the name of his original source this morning on Fox & Friends. Can’t remember the name. Noboby I ever heard of.

I’m glad it’s over-I’m just about Plamed out.

Bob’s–yeah, actually I was just talking about MSNBC hosts and this one lib I was talking to today and unjustifiably extrapolating from there. I haven’t read the blogs but your description is exactly what I’d expect.

So This Is What Plamegate Boils Down To…

Ok, I may be a little off on some details*, but this, as I understand it, is what happened.

Novak, in the process of writing about Wilson’s trip to Niger, was told by a source (whom he won’t disclose as yet, since the person hasn’t given him the …

How can you out a CIA paper pusher? She worked in the Nuclear proliferation office, and hadn’t been an “Operative” for more then five years (which the law specifically states) so she was not concitered an operative. Therefore any outing that suposedly happend, didn’t. This would be like the claim that Scooter Libby was told by the president and the Vice-President told him to leak declassified information. Oh, CNN screamed about that for a good couple of days before they realized what they were saying and dopped it just as quickly as they reported it.
There was no crime. There was no leak. There was no wrong doing, unless you count Scooter no being able to remember something. The left needs to get over it, and get off Carl’s back.

More like they’re denying it, Alex. Read the comments over at Wizbang to see.

Of course, your eyes will bleed afterwards, but you’ve got to make a few sacrifices in your quest for knowlege.

I didn’t follow this Plame nonsense well enough to understand why this latest thing is the reason for the big deflation, as opposed to any time in the last three years, but man, I haven’t felt so much disappointment vibe from liberals since the election. I mean, it’s not that level, but they are really bummed by this and kind of in shock.

If you look carefully, you can see Rove’s hand moving the mouth of Novak’s.
