Thank goodness. The Plame saga wouldn’t have been complete without it. It would have been like the medal ceremony at the end of Star Wars minus Chewbacca’s yawp.

In recent weeks, Potts, a member of the anti-war crusade group Code Pink, has turned herself into a splashy presence on Capitol Hill and a known quantity in most congressional offices. She attends high-profile hearings and sits in prime TV spots right behind key witnesses such as Valerie Plame.

Potts, 38, is still pre-op, but has begun hormonal therapy to become a woman. She hopes someday to have the surgical procedure that will fully make her a woman. For now, she dresses the part and dyes her long hair blond (with pink Manic Panic highlights for Code Pink) and wears a face full of peachy-pink blush, pink lipstick and blue eye shadow. She isn’t as attentive to her nails — they are red and chipped…

In 2002, before the war in Iraq had begun, she came to Washington and joined a month-long anti-war vigil in front of the White House. In 2006 she ran in the primary against then-House Majority Leader Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) and garnered 7 percent of the vote…

In the early ’90s she was in the Navy and was sent over to the Persian Gulf on a ship. Potts says she was honorably discharged because of physical and emotional problems: “I was kind of lost for a couple of years, you know what I mean?”

I’ll bet. How far “lost” must he have been if being known as the member of Cindy Sheehan’s entourage with the largest adam’s apple constitutes being “found”?

Eh. I trust him/her more than Joe Wilson.
