Plame Security Breach: It Just Ain't So, Joe (Democrats Inhabit Planet Zongo Alert)

Chicago Sun Times ^ | 07/17/05 | Mark Steyn

Where do the Democrats live? On the Planet Zongo even as they ignore deadly bouts of on-going terrorism in Iraq and London. A bogus affair is all President Bush's fault. The GWOT is a distraction from Rove's outing a woman every one by now knows never was a covert CIA op. Even that is a lie. As Mark Steyn puts it well, say it ain't so Joe!

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

[libertylover]

...it's a string of connections: unlimited Saudi money, Westernized Islamist fanatics, supportive terrorist states, proliferating nuclear technology

Too complicated, apparently, for the "blame America first Democrat party".

[goldstategop]

Yep. The bad guy is Karl Rove. That's easy for brain dead Democrats to obssess over.

Plame and that midget husband of hers need to be put in jail.

[Howlin]

In fact, the only lying sonafabitch turned out to be Yellowcake Joe.

[Bahbah]

a shrill politically motivated poseur who, for the sake of 15 minutes' celebrity on the cable gabfest circuit, misled the nation about what he found.

This is the best description of Joe Wilson I have seen to date.

[G.Mason]

" ... she [Valerie Plame] wasn't a ''clandestine officer'' and, indeed, hadn't been one for six years. So one can only ''leak'' her name in the sense that one can ''leak'' the name of the checkout clerk at Home Depot."

Facts? We don't need no stinking facts.

About the only question I have left unanswered from this "crime of the century" is just why did CIA agent extraordinaire, Valerie Plame, want her husband, Lying Joe Wilson, out of the country on this "make believe" assignment she so convienently nominated him for? Could it be she needed the free time to catch up on undercover lessons from James Bond?

The police have found the suicide bomber's head in the rubble of the London bus, and Iran is enriching uranium. The only distraction here is the pitiful parochialism of our political culture.

In the long run, we're all dead, as the economists say.

NEEDS REPEATING

[Freee-dame]

Will the left (MSM and Dem leaders) read this? On Foxnews Newswatch show last night, it seemed that they knew nothing about the Wilson - Plame - Rove story except what they had read in the NYT.

[Tax-chick]

It boggles my mind that these two nobodies, Wilson and Plame, are being allowed to cause all this trouble. You'd think they were Nick and Jessica, or something.

Seriesly, I know the Dims would do absolutely anything to take down Karl Rove. The President seems to be successfully ignoring the whole thing, so far; maybe we'll have a terrorist attack here next week as a distraction. (jk)

[Fresh Wind]

On Planet Zongo, the Rats have just realized that Mark Steyn just called Bush and Cheney "lyin' sonsofbitches" and are preparing a news release as I type this.

Don't have to make it complicated. I think she just wanted a reprieve from Joe Wilson.

[Sabatier]

Great Steyn observations. It's positively obscene
for the Dims to be yapping on about this non-story.

[elli1]

Nick & Nora?

[Cosmo]

"You'd think they were Nick and jessica...."

Okay, I know it's early, but that's the FR quote of the day.

LOL!

[AliVeritas]

Off to post this at DU... may get some converts.

[livius]

Great article. There was a thread last night in which our FReeper marron put together a good case for asserting that this was a criminal conspiracy by Plame and Wilson, and possibly other elements in the CIA, aimed at "getting" GWB. The fact that it meant threatening national security was unimportant to them.

[Liz]

The really irritating thing is Wilson copping the posture of "victim" in his TV appearances.


His whole body and demeanor shout, "Bush made me a 'victim.' I will profit mightily from this. My wife may even take it all off for Playboy to make a buck off of this."



Snort---that routine is so familiar----the last refuge of a left-leaning scoundrel---victimization.
