Jeanne Moos/Wolf Blizter on CNN (Plamegate)

[Lorianne]

She's arguably the country's most famous former spy, now suing Vice President Dick Cheney, among others, for allegedly blowing her cover. Valerie Plame, the woman at the center of the CIA leak case, spoke out today, along with her husband, the former U.S. ambassador, Joe Wilson. CNN's Jeanne Moos shows us how the couple's high profile news conference unfolded.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It was a flash bulb frenzy. After all those months of being seen but not heard, America's most glamorous former spy spoke.

VALERIE PLAME, FORMER CIA OPERATIVE: Joe and I have filed this action with heavy hearts.

MOOS: She spoke for less than a minute, but then aren't undercover agents supposed to be men and women of few words?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Who are you?

PIERCE BROSNAN, ACTOR: Bond, James Bond.

MOOS: Bond, Jane Bond. That's how Joe Wilson has referred to his wife Valerie.

She may not know how to defuse a nuclear bomb, but she sure knows how not to bomb in a pantsuit. This ex-spy posed for "Vanity Fair," seated in the couple's Jaguar.

Valerie Plame was no Mata Hari. The World War I era dancer turned double agent used seduction as a technique.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You wouldn't do that for me?

MOOS: Mata Hari supposedly blew a kiss to the firing squad that executed her. Valerie Plame seems more inclined to kiss her husband. She told "Vanity Fair" it was love at first sight, that on their third or fourth date they were in the middle of a heavy makeout session, when she confessed to him that she was undercover with the CIA.

As female spies go, she seems more Emma Peel than...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Ivana Humpalot.

MIKE MYERS, ACTOR: Excuse me?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Ivana Humpalot.

This piece seems a flippant 'marginalization' of Plame from CNN no less.

Well, that is not helpful to their suit, outing herself to get sex.

[somemoreequalthanothers]

I think she's much more akin to Jane Fonda than James Bond.

[biff]

Well, I do gotta say this, in the great morass of ugly liberal females, she is the best of the lot. Although not a 10 she is a wee bit better than ole Hillbottoms and SackBabs.

I envision Pal Joey as the Walter Mitty type who in his fantasy world perceives himself to be not just the spouse of a "spy" but one himself. It is as by telling people he is married to a CIA "agent" he automatically cloaks himself in the same shroud of secrecy that envelopes her.

[mass55th]

"Well, that is not helpful to their suit, outing herself to get sex."

Can it be called a date if you're banging a married man? And who's to say they hadn't had sex before she spilled her guts? Or that she hadn't spilled her guts when they first met? Frankly, if I met Joe Wilson in person, I'd be spilling my guts too, only it would probably be my lunch I was spilling. Since Joe Wilson admits to using "literary flair," I'd say the "third or fourth date" was added to enhance the story and make her not look like the slut that she is.

Ms. Plame is currently negotiating her book deal with Simon & Schuster. After Novak deflated the Wilson's whole premise for victimhood they had to counter with something public to keep Valerie's book deal afloat; not to mention their pathological obsession with publicity.

Joe Wilson, whom the John Kerry campaign fired from his "national security advisor" role when the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence exposed him as a lying fraud, enjoys a continuing credibility with the liberal press.

Hopefully, this CNN piece signals the end of the honeymoon these two buffoons have had with the media.

His secret communication device goes pokita-pokita.

I'd love to see Rove, Cheney and Libby take up Joe and Val on their lawsuit. I think Joe and Val would find that discovery can be a bitch. I think they could uncover the CIA cabal, which has been undermining American security by trying to undermine Bush. They could find out how Joe decided to lie about his Niger trip, why he accused Cheney of sending him on that trip and who knows what.

I'll tell you something about Jeanne Moos. She is a doggone comic genius. It hurts me to say anything nice about anyone from CNN, but Jeanne Moos never fails to crack me up.

[Howlin]

Heh.

[wouldntbprudent]

The Moose woman is always hilarious!

If she's on Plame's case, this lawsuit is headed straight to video!

[bray]

Apparently she screams, "I Spy" during sex? Not that theres anything wrong with that, mind you.

She always makes me laugh, even if she is making fun of Republicans.
She is hilarious.

Naw, it's just Jeanne Moos. She's always fun.
