Tell The Media: NO on Valerie "Plame", YES on Memogate!!!

It is outrageous that the media continues to focus on the Valerie Wilson "Plame"/ Robert Novack "non-story", while they ignore the illegal actions exposed by the Democratic memos leaked to the press by patriotic Senate staffers.

The Democrats have been caught, red-handed, forsaking national security for political gain and illegally filibustering qualified minority judicial nominees for political gain.  The media has ignored these stories.  Enough is enough!

Here are a few simple steps you must take to express your outrage and get the word out.

1)  Open the "Write for W" webform for a simple "letter to the editor" submission form by clicking here.

2)  Compose a Letter to the Editor telling your paper to stop beating the dead "Plame" horse and to start covering the real stories (memogate and judgesgate).  If you are short on time, here is a sample letter you can use (remember, original letters that are short and sweet are best):

Letter to the Editor

As a United States citizen, I am outraged that the media continues to focus on a non-story -- the naming of a CIA analyst whose identity was no secret to begin with -- while all but ignoring two of the most important stories of the year.  The first is how the Democrats on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence have been caught plotting to use the awesome power of that committee as a political weapon against the president, forsaking national security for political gain.  The second story is how the Democrats have been caught selling filibusters to powerful left wing interest groups, unconstitutionally filibustering well-qualified minority judicial nominees to slavishly please their ideological allies.  Instead, the media has focused on the Democrats' deceitful tactic of blaming the Republicans for catching them! 

This is outrageous and despicable -- merely further evidence of left wing media bias.  The media will run with any story that hurts the GOP, but when the Democrats are caught jeopardizing the safety and security of every American for mere political points, there is a blackout.  Despicable!

Gee thanks! A former friend gave me a daily devotional which had that scripture on it. After 9-11, I taught it to my Sunday school class. They loved it. After I taught them the scripture, I taught them to personalize it. It kept them from being fearful about their future.

I wonder who that former government official was. And why on earth would a reporter conclude that something was common knowledge because one former government official said something? In what branch of government and in what admin did the former government official work? Novak claims he did not know the woman was an operative. May claims that another person told him she was an operative. Was she an operative? Was May's source revealing classified information and playing it off like it was common knowledge? What are "insiders?"

I've read most of the stories on this subject. And I watched the President speak on the subject. I think they'll work to get to the bottom of this. And if Valerie Plame or someone else had loose lips, revealing Ms. Plame's occupation unnecessarily and illegally, then we'll see a prosecution.

Novak is a reporter, and he asked Plame's boss about her position, and the boss didn't say anything except don't write about it. Novak should have done what the guy said. The boss could not confirm what Novak had heard.

I think the Dims are more embarassed about the fact that the - ice tea drinking is reasearch- diplomat was outed for doing nothing and being a partisan Democrat than that his wife was an alleged CIA operative (the left hates the CIA, anyway, so why would they really get mad about this - other than to try to turn a bad situation for them, against a president they can't tolerate?).
