After years of pumping up this lie from Joe and his sweety and millions of taxpayer bucks wasted by that feckless Fitz, I guess all the Lefties will just shrug and use the old Amy Latella line from SNL, "Never mind." And the loony lib msm will let them get away with it without a peep. Republicans ought to be screaming about this, but I don't hear it.

It's unfortunate that so many people took him seriously.

The Post needs to carry this a step further. The Joe Wilson kertuffle was just a shabby little Kerry campaign hit piece. That's why it was hyped into The Scandal of the Century.

Where is DailyKoz, MoveOn.org, etc etc etc with their condemnation of Joe Wilson and his treachery? And how do I get out of Fantasyland?

To hear Bush administration defenders tell it, news that Richard Armitage was the original source of the leak of Valerie Plame's CIA work means the entire Plamegate tempest was a whole lot of nothing. . . . So there you go, administration supporters say: There was no conspiracy to "out" Plame as part of a plan to "get" Wilson.

So according to the Minneapolis Star & Tribune, the Washington Post editors are "Bush administration defenders" and "supporters"? Who knew???

That's been the buzz from Washington insiders for a long time. It's actually quite significant that the Post finally put its stamp of authority on it.

Well, that's what they call it in polite society.

The Post is finally admitting what we all knew all along - the media feeding frenzy over this so-called conspiracy by Bush and Rove was completely false. The media, of course, will not spend even a fraction of the amount of time reporting that everything they've been saying over the years is false and leave the public once again with a false impression.

D'oh. They're joking, right? I still want to know the immediate fate of Scooter Libby. Is he still in trouble, even though his whole "trial" was based on a false premise?

Where did that editorial come from? It certainly spins the etire ordeal in a irrational manner

The libs have dropped back one trench and dug in again.

Get used to hearing the new spin -- "it doesn't matter that Armitage was the leaker; BushCo's confirmation of the leak still amounts to a malevolent hatchetjob against a truthteller" -- because most of the liberal punditry has adopted it. Apparently they all got the memo. Mark Shields, for instance, was peddling this spin on the PBS news this evening.

The Plame thing is going to be like the 2000 election. The left will never let it go. They're like those japanese soldiers who wouldn't surrender even after the war was lost. The good news, though, is that Plamegate has lost much of its demagogic value for the left. Their narrative is much weaker now since its central fact has been disproven.

The White House's "get Wilson" effort was already underway.

What about Joe Wilson's 'get Bush" effort. Wilson went on the governments dime to find out facts and make a report, not to write an editorial in the New York Times attacking the President.

They are trying to run from the real story here. The media being a de facto arm of the DNC and spreading false anti Bush myths.
It is nearer the mark to say that "objective" journalism is a cabal of go-along-and-get-along people whose fundamental principle is that journalism is the only important thing.

"Liberals" - or "moderates," or "progressives" - are simply people who say what journalists want said, and whom journalists reward with positive PR and positive labelling.

And since nothing matters to the "liberal" except PR, liberals - although they rely on producers for food, shelter, clothing, security, and so forth just like anyone else does - promote themselves by mercilessly criticizing and second guessing police, the military, and producers of petroleum, food, water, and so forth.

The idea that the government should own "the means of production" has planted within it the idea that not only the means of production but what is to be produced are givens, not products of past progress and not subject to future progress. Therefore socialism - including liberalism - consists of little else but second guessing producers who made the mistakes necesary to learn what they currently can profitably produce and, very specifically, how.

Since second guessing is no qualification for being able to be decisive in the face of risk, a liberals in executive office is a walking embodiment of the Peter Principle. Naturally, a liberal once in office changes the standard of performance from hypercritical second guessing to "Don't judge me by my results, judge me by my good intentions."

Lies...all Lies!!!!!!
