Westmoreland seems, from this article, to be the rare person in Washington who, when caught unprepared, attempted to educate himself and get back on track.

Plame's testimony was a wet firecracker for the Dems. Looks like the Republicans may be able to use it to our advantage--"us" being Americans who want to know the truth about this Plame BS, and who want to expose the Dems shameless political gameplaying over this issue.

I am not sure how long I am going to hold my breath on this one. I am trying to remember the las time the GOP used Dem wrong-doings to pin them to the wall. If Wax man chooses to ignore, I am sure the media will ignore as well.

Geesh....WHY would ANY Republican NOT know ALL the details about PLAME/WILSON??? LAZY ASSES!! DUMB ASSES!! It was designed to bring down the administartion and yet only TWO Pubbies bother to show up, and Tom Davis is a USELESS, TOOTHLESS RINO! Westmoreland should be ASHAMED that he didn't know the details.....he could have asked ANY freeper!

I'd like to think something would come of this, but let's be realistic: both Tom Davis and Westmoreland were UNPREPARED for their limited role in this fiasco of an "interview". Waxman will do nothing. Valerie Plame knew that she could lie under oath about all of this with impunity -- the Dems in charge would never challenge her, and if it ever went to court: it's just more publicity and (the old "hole card") it would be a DC jury!

So you have pundits like Mort Kondracke who concluded "Plame demolished the notion that she wasn't covert" and other stupid conclusions that were not at all "proved" -- but that's the consensus in this Beltway 2007. Shame on the GOP for playing patsy with these lying Demos.
