Way to go, Carl in Alaska!! You took the words right out of my mouth.
First of all, Karl Rove did NOT mention anyone's name.
Second, Valerie Plame was NOT some undercover, covert, operative. She was a paper pusher who arranged her husbands trip to Niger. The White House did NOT arrange the trip, which is the point Karl Rove was trying to make.
Third, if anyone blew her cover, it was Ms. Plame herself, who had a photograph of her and hubby published in Vanity Fair magazine.
This whole thing is so ridiculous, I'm convinced Karl Rove thought it up just to make the democRats and liberals look even dumber than they currently are. I find it hard to believe that the liberals and the democRats took the bait, and have fallen into the trap.
Karl Rove to the liberals: GOTCHA AGAIN!!!
hehehehehe
Excellent point. This is strong evidence that Ms. Plame was not a covert operative, because obviously covert agents keep a low profile and don't get their names and pictures published in Vanity Fair....lol. My hunch is that the special prosecutor is going to conclude that nobody broke the law and nobody is going to be indicted, and I wouldn't be suprised if Joseph Wilson himself was Novak's source.
Well I don't think Rove deliberately talked to Cooper about "Wilson's wife" just to make the Democrats look dumb. But that's a good point you make about the Vanity Fair article. Covert CIA agents make sure they do not get written up in magazine articles, so Wilson and Plame's starring role in Vanity Fair is hardly the behavior of a covert agent. Rove really doesn't have to make any special efforts to make the Democrats look dumb--the Dems do that every day just by being themselves....lol. If they weren't so destructive to our national security, the DemocRATs would really be a hilarious group.
