Its a shame David Corn chose to show his displeasure with my September 15, 2006, Wall Street Journal op-ed about Richard Armitages role in the Valerie Plame so-called leak by making a baseless personal attack against me.
I wrote: The first journalist to reveal Ms. Plame was covert was David Corn on July 16, 2003, two days after Mr. Novaks column. The latter [Robert Novak] never wrote, because he did not know and it was not so, that Ms. Plame was covert. However, Mr. Corn claimed Mr. Novak outed her as an undercover CIA officer, querying whether Bush officials blew the cover of a U.S. intelligence officer working covertly in
national security.
Was Mr. Corn subpoenaed? Did Mr. Fitzgerald subpoena Mr. Wilson to attest he had never revealed his wifes employment to anyone? If he had done so, he might have learned Mr. Corns source.
Corn blogged, Toensing is flat-out wrong sloppy wrong. Any intelligent lawyer who bothered to peruse the piece I wrote could discern that I was engaging in a thought exercise, not an act of disclosure.
I did indeed scrutinize Corns piece. Thats why I have a September 11, 2006, yellow-underlined copy of it in my file. (I had read it before, but not printed it.) Heres what made me add the above quote about Corn to my criticism of Special Counsel Fitzgerald.
-Corn praises Wilson and the CIAs choice of him for the trip to Niger. That was strange since every major journalist involved in this area was asking why Wilson was sent, as he had no WMD experience and had served in Niger as a very low-level government employee decades before. Even Armitage had responded to Novaks Why Wilson? by saying, A lot of people are asking that question.

Corn is getting schooled. He was one of the original fabricators of this coup attempt.

Victoria is much too smart for Corn to handle. I think he has just been squashed like a bug!

David Corn should know better than to take on Victoria Toensing, this LADY knows her way around Washington and she can corral the likes of David Corn.
To: Mo1
Novak told Brian Lamb that Corn had made snide remarks about his not taking notes in his Armitage interview. Novak explained in his decades of being a journalist, he had trained himself not to take notes because taking them made those being interviewed uncomfortable and less forthcoming.
Then Novak added, "David Corn is a nasty piece of work." Victoria proved it.

David Corn give me the creeps in the same way John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer did.
I don't want to know what he has in storage or in his fridge.

Wouldn't you love to see Corn try his arrogant schtick on Victoria in front of Joe De Genova? That would be priceless to witness. Her daughter,
Amy Toensing, is adorable.

BUMP.
Corn is as big a loser as "Spikey Mikey" Isikoff. The two were made for each other.
