I love Siggy and Dr. Sanity.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

"Reclaiming my time. Reclaiming my time.! A$$hole!

[Enchante]

ROFLMAO!

"An officer serving under her was upset to have received an inquiry from the vice president's office about yellowcake from Niger and evidently, while she was comforting that junior officer, some guy walked by her office and suggested her husband should go to Niger to check it out."

It was documented that Valerie's email offering up Joe's vast (sic) qualifications to conduct the bogus "mission to Niger" was sent the day before the VP's office had even received the briefing in question..... Valerie's CIA unit was already being asked to review the Niger uranium issue BEFORE the VP even heard about it to ask any questions..... more lies from the Plame-Wilson treason set.

This is so sad, but if it weren't Victoria T., the name of
Armitage, the original "leaker" would not even have been
mentioned.

[angkor]

Talking in circles.

The fact that Plame worked for CIA was not "classified".

"Classified" is a word that has no meaning in this context.

The Rats are struggling to maintain this semantic sham.

And they don't want Victoria citing that damned IIPA anymore.

[Carolinamom]

What about giving the witness TIME to answer the damn questions?

[b4its2late]

How'd they even let Toensing in there? She must've slipped through the cracks.....

[Howlin]

They never do that. Ever.

[Mo1]

Ummmm Mr. Van Hallen .. do you have any evidence/facts besides your conclusion that Rove knew???

[JerseyJohn61]

Exactly. First the were question Vicky's knowledge of facts.
Now they are asking her to measure the intent of others.

[Bahbah]

If the aid to Van Hollen sitting behind him is not, in fact, his wife, his wife had better pay some attention because she has got a "thing" for him, imo.

[Howlin]

Isn't that the truth............LOL.

The GOP must have "invited" her!

[redgirlinabluestate]

She says she found out when Joe came in their bedroom and plopped the paper down and he said .. Well, he did it I caught this too. It sounded like they were expecting this to be in the paper. I wish someone would ask her if she and her husband orchestrated this "scam" for their 15 minutes of fame?

That's what I thought when I heard that. Not to go tinfoil hat here, but what was Armitage's involvement with the Wilsons, if any, prior to this? It almost seems as if Armitage fed Novak the bait. Novak bit, printed the story and the rest is history.

[Carolinamom]

WoooHOOOO.....DAvid Corn now named as 1st person to publish name! Go Victoria!!!

[pitinkie]

Right they are just pretending to ask questions..they are really stating their opinions and trying to get it into the record.

[roses of sharon]

LOL, to bad Victoria can't take Vacant Vals place, wow was she a airhead.

All that whining about being covert and in danger, and then to do a spread in Vanity Fair?

No way would Victoria do something like that, nor would she run a political operation out of the CIA to damage the war and the President.

[ShandaLear]

HA! VT says it was Corn who first revealed her identity.

[Howlin]

Amazing!

They are ignoring things she's saying, but she's getting her points in!
