With the filing of a lawsuit against Vice President Cheney, White House political aide Karl Rove and ex-Vice Presidential aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame have finally jumped the shark. With the revelation by columnist Robert Novak that it was neither Rove nor Libby, much less Cheney, who was his primary source for his column mentioning -- in passing no less -- that Wilson's now-famous assignment to Niger was arranged by his CIA-wife, Wilson's entire claim to fame takes a torpedo amidships. The New York Post now reports that Novak's main source was the anti-Iraq War Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, a charge that Armitage has thus far not refuted. Why would someone who opposed the invasion of Iraq as did Wilson and his wife rat out Analyst Plame? There is no reason, which is why Armitage is presumably not included in the suit.
With the filing of this lawsuit Americans outside the Beltway will finally begin to understand something about both Wilson and Plame.

Just plain fudgin' bizarre. This tilting at windmills maneuver is certain to go nowhere but must serve another, unknown purpose. The who, what, when, where & why of this mighty curious, mighty curious.

Like both Wilson and Plame, Walker was a distinguished government servant Excuse me? Wilson hardly ever was a "distinguished" government servant. He just pretends he was.

Hope I didn't keep you waiting, jaz says you're one fine foot-tapper! :-)

Keep the fifteen minutes going and try to cash in. That is what the suit is about, and by cashing in that would be through a book deal, not a judgement.
To: smoothsailing
I believe that Wilson/Plame's lawsuit is the result of a childish tantrum by Joe Wilson. Wilson got so embarrassed by Novak's revelation that he got the name "Valerie Elise Plame" from Wilson's own vanity entry in 'Who's Who' that he's now reacting like a two-year-old.

Just plain fudgin' bizarre. This tilting at windmills maneuver is certain to go nowhere but must serve another, unknown purpose. The who, what, when, where & why of this mighty curious, mighty curious.Joe and Val's central target is President George W. Bush, just as Walker's target was President Harry Truman
Edwin Walker had finally jumped the shark. He didn't even make the cover of Vanity Fair. By 1976 he was arrested for "public lewdness." He died in 1993, an obscure footnote to history. His central target -- Harry Truman -- down below 30% in the polls when he left the White House, was long since enshrined by historians as the president who refused to buckle to America's enemies. After one long run of Happy Days, like General Walker, Analyst Plame and Ambassador Wilson have finally jumped the shark.
Joe and Val, meet The Fonz. Say goodbye to Hollywood.

Why did you excerpt this? Why not post the whole article?
To: smoothsailing
Like Wilson, who has gone after not only the President but the Vice President and others, Walker chose to attack former President Harry Truman, ex-Secretary of State Dean Acheson, and Senator Hillary Clinton's favorite White House communing partner, former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. All three, said Walker, were "definitely pink." Pink. As in sort of a lighter shade of Communist Red. Unlike Joe Wilson, Walker's case is definitely true. Truman was a traitor to his country, routing every order during the Korean War through the UN, and the therewith the Russian military attache, who relayed them to the North Koreans.

Hey, I have never read/heard that about Lee Harvey Oswald. I really thought Oswald was an unknown at the time of President Kennedy's assassination.
Other than that - Plame/Wilson/NYT are losers hasbeens and will be forgotten about in a year or so. They have been rathered!!! And I wonder who will be next.
