Time to Boot Armitage from the Straight Talk Express
the american thinker ^ | 8/27/06 | clarice feldman

Posted on 08/27/2006 11:25:28 AM PDT by the Real fifi

Mike Isikoff and David Corn, whose work I often discount because of their evident biases, have now produced a new book, reiterating what we’ve been saying for some time: Richard Armitage was Robert Novak’s source about Plame and he kept silent as Scooter Libby, Karl Rove and the Administration in general were battered by the Plame/Wilsons and their proponents. Indeed, it was Corn who days after the Novak piece appeared reported in The Nation that Wilson’s wife was a “covert agent” who’d been outed in “revenge”, the meme that still is being played in the outer regions of sanity.

Isikoff and Corn have a new book out revealing Armitage was Novak's source. Article details Armitage's perfidious and gutless behavior.

Anyone paying attention has known Armitage was Novak's (and Woodward's) Plame source, but his willingness to let others swing for his faux pas is reprehensible.

So was Corn playing politics to the hilt with this one, even though he knew the true source.

Is their entire book about the Plame blame, or is that just one chapter in a book that generally attacks Bush for the everything unfortunate that happens to anyone?

From the article about the book, it appears this is the focus.

Armitage SUPPOSEDLY told the FBI it was him and yet Fitzy CONTINUED with his "investigation".......something is just not right....

Armitage should PAY for Libby's attorneys, Roves and Cheneys also!!

Anyone running with the "Plame outted for revenge" meme was playing politics beyond the water's edge, regardless of when they figured out Armitage was Novak's source, and "anyone" includes Corn.

The man most responsible for outting Plame was Joe Wilson, and he's still playing politics to remake himself into a victim of the consequences of his own dishonesty, bungling, and melodramatics.

Frankly, Armitage and Powell are perfect partners for McC.

According to a new book, the State Department has known for years that Armitage (left) outed Plame

What about the Joe and Val law suit? What will they do for attention next? Will Joe be writing another NYT op-ed insisting that Corn is in the pay of Rove and trying to deflect him and his wife from getting at the truth? Stay tuned.

The pflames are now in the miserable position of having the judge insist their home address be made public....and little by little their tall tale is being undermined by the truth.

Perhaps they can go on tour with Brownie of FEMA fame.

This was just a prelude to the Qana disaster for the media.And this media stunt still fails to get the attention it deserves.

What struck me about the Newsweak article was the that so many "administration" people were working there that were not on board with the president. You know that State is rancid with commie lifers but you expect more from politically appointed personnel. Well, the story here is that you don't get it. Instead you get these players covering their asses and working against the truth coming out because it might damage them.

hmmm...brings to mind several ideas...one of which is the old, tired out hollywood-wannabeist tactics of the left. To wit: conjure a story and get a beautiful blonde to play the lead. It's guaranteed to get ratings.
