Valerie Plame: Let’s Just Forget about that Anti-Semitism Thing

National Review ^ | 9/9/2019 | Jim Geraghty

Two things stand out in this new ad from Valerie Plame, who is running for Congress as a Democrat in New Mexico.

She declares, “Dick Cheney’s Chief of Staff took revenge against my husband and leaked my identity. His name? Scooter Libby.”

This is false. Former deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage acknowledged in 2006 that he was the source who first revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame to syndicated columnist Robert Novak back in 2003.(snip)

Plame then declares, “I come from Ukrainian Jewish immigrants.”

This is no doubt meant to be a shield against those who would bring up Plame’s claim earlier this year that she had no idea that an article entitled “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars” from a website run by a Holocaust denier, which she retweeted in 2017, was anti-Semitic.

This is like Mark Sanford. Can’t leave the limelight even if their reasons for being there are stupid and false.

[montag813]

She will win because she is pretty, and a Democrat. That is more than enough in our celebrity-obsessed culture.

[KosmicKitty]

She also sleep with her husband on their first date.

I didn’t think that was a good things for spies to do.

[Jack Black]

Is she a pure carpetbagger? I mean she lived in D.C. for years, both she and her husband were government employees. What's her connection with New Mexico?

The Dems seem to be OK with electing carpetbagging New Yorkers all over the USA. I hope that some actual New Mexican runs against her and makes an issue of it.

"Send Valerie Plame back to D.C.!"

[boycott]

This is like Mark Sanford.

Yep. No amount of attention in life is ever enough for some. She’s not running for voters. She’s only running for herself.

[CaptainK]

Slept with him AND told him she worked for the CIA, on the first date.

I hope that Scooter Libby sues this bitch for defamation of character. She’s not protected by holding any office, and she damned well knows the truth and is saying this in public despite knowing that it is false (that’s if you still consider Scooter to be a public figure - at this point, if I were the judge in this hypothetical case, I wouldn’t).

I am SOOOOO tired of these liars, crooks and would-be tyrants from the Clinton and Obama administrations - time for them to have some payback.

And he was still a married man

What goes on in Gabon...

[Glad2bnuts]

National Review, isn’t it the equivalent of the Bezos comPost in 2019?

[IndispensableDestiny]

She has a good ad. I've always had the hots for her. She wanted her cake (work in the CIA) and eat it too (media spotlight). She got the latter. I'll never understand why her superiors in the agency agreed that it would be a good idea to send her husband to Niger. Nobody else available?

[realcleanguy]

To get her husband out of town so she could be “available”

[Mr. K]

how do we know that information?

[a fool in paradise]

She’s a lying creep selling the DNC talking points. She wasn’t about truth anymore than Squeaky Fraud was in her attacks at the Supreme Court nomination.

[a fool in paradise]

She also blabbed to her boyfriend what her job was. So much for being “top secret”.

[SunkenCiv]

“I come from Ukrainian Jewish immigrants.” This is no doubt meant to be a shield against those who would bring up Plame’s claim earlier this year that she had no idea that an article entitled “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars” from a website run by a Holocaust denier, which she retweeted in 2017, was anti-Semitic.

[Fedora]

Ping.

[eyeamok]

Sure sounds like she Defamed Scooter Libby with libelous slander just now. SUE THE B$TCH

[KosmicKitty]

Slept with him AND told him she worked for the CIA, on the first date.

Just the kind of person I want as a spy....NOT!

[Tallguy]

“I didn’t think that was a good things for spies to do.”

Unless he is also CIA — which I think is possible.
