Even worse than the lying Wilsons, Fitz is the guy who is really out on limb here in terms of credibility...
Nearly all the political commentators miss what this was really all about.
Novak's original article and others mentioned that Joe Wilson's visit actually bolstered the Bush administration's claim that Iraq was trying to purchase uranium.
Privately, Wilson admitted that Iraq WAS trying to buy uranium. Publicly, he lied.
The Bipartisan Senate Report about this matter so discredited Wilson that Kerry dropped him from his presidential campaign staff.
That report stated that Wilson had to actually bolstered the Bush administration's case about Iraq trying to buy uranium. Privately, Wilson confirmed what Bush said.
But publicly, Wilson told another story altogether.
Clearly, Wilson is a liar and the entire reason for this made up outrage about Valerie was to take away attention to the fact that Wilson was caught lying about a very important reason why we went to war in Iraq.
I hope we have CIA employees who are working this hard to overthrow the government in Iran.
Which was why they kept his "report" unwritten...and unrecorded apparently. Surprised they didn't try to erase their notes that confounded his later public contentions...
Expect yet another of Corn's "It wasn't me! I'm being victimized! Thank You God someone is reading me!" columns within a day.
Unlikely.
The new head of the CIA who replaced Porter Goss, who was trying to clean house, is rehiring one of the scum-sucking liberals...Steve Kappes...who covered for these guys.
I've never understood what the photographer was looking for with this picture. Are they trying to show that the happy little wilson home was thrown into disarray by the "outing" of valerie plame? to me it looks like valerie has a severe drinking problem and that joe is impotent to do anything about it but sit around and twiddle his thumbs. like, "honey, we have to talk about last night..."
Fitz's credibility is safe, because he is shielded by the the fact that he is harming a Republican. The Drive-by Media will write the story on him. He will be toasted along the beltway and in the salons of Europe. If his case against Libby is tried in D.C., he will even win a celebrated conviction. Fitz'z loss upon appeal will be a minor side note in the newspapers and network news, and Libby will be labeled as a convict and evidence of the Culture of Corruption.
Long term, however, history will not be kind to Fitz.
what is it with these staged photo sessions anyway? have we veered so far away from straight news that news producers think citizens can be swayed by drmatic photos ... what am i missing?
Coming up on Fox right in a minute or so is a discussion about this new Valerie Plame lawsuit against Cheney and Libby. Let's hear what The Judge has to say about it!
I don't have TV so give us a one- or two-line summing up if you can.
Wilson (CIA leaker and braggart):
"I will sue anyone and everyone for not stopping ME
from telling Novak, 'Who's who', the French Embassy,
and anyone else who might have been remotely interested
about my wife. They should have stopped me. And now
I need the money for her Armani dresses."
Then why did Plame list Brewster Jennings as her employer in her Democrat Party donation?
Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

Unlike Ken Starr, he won't be taking pro bono liberal cases in the futile hope of earning the love of the american media.
Valerie (groggily): "Wow...I just...um...had this awful dream...that I was married to this nasty lying scumbag who was using me for his phoney political shenanigans to attack President Bush and suck up to John Kerry of all people....
"Hey wait a minute - that was no dream!"
