Do we know who "they" is?

Not that I remember

She mentioned that a Junior Officer originally rec'd the message from the VP's office and that he brought it to her attention and then someone else walked over to her desk and suggested sending Joe

Where is Reagan when we need him? Bush should announce a press conference for 7PM and tell these yahoos that she was outed long before the WH said anything.

When will Bush grow a set to protect himself from the BS MSM? This 24x7 hate fest could be stemmed a bit if Bush would use his bully pulpit to counter this ongoing soliloquy by the talking heads.

I don't believe I will take your bet...duh. Voting may just become a distant memory if someone somewhere doesn't get this republic together. It is like watching middle school girls argue. All noise and "drama", and zero substance.

Count me out.

Haven't been able to follow the story today ... so did anyone get around to asking Valerie Wilson about her and joe's relationship with Jacqueline, the lobbyist for the daughter of one of the wealthiest of crooked African politicians, Omar Bongo?

1998 : (GABON'S PRESIDENT OMAR BONGO TRAVELS TO THE US; GABON HIRED WILSON'S SECOND WIFE, THE FRENCH WOMAN JACQUELINE, AS A LOBBYIST; PIERRE SALINGER [JFK's press sec], HERMAN COHEN [Clinton's Asst Sec of State for Africa]AND OTHER LOBBYISTS WERE ALSO EMPLOYED) Here’s a French language article regarding a 1998 trip by Gabon President Omar Bongo to the United States. Apparently, the Gabonese hired Wilson’s second wife Jacqueline as a lobbyist in support of the trip. Another who worked with her was the famous Pierre Salinger, known for many things, eg he was JFK’s press secretary and for his TWA 800 theories. But even more lobbyists were engaged, they apparently had a “too many cooks in the kitchen” kind of conflict, and the trip didn’t come off well Joseph Wilson was “very present” at the events of the visit. -- Source: FreeRepublic's Shermy using this source http://www.bdpgabon.org/ancien_site/bdp/revelationspol1.html

That's a good one. And the press is announcing the sleep number as though no one else has ever seen a stained bed....

Sorry, this story leaves the same residue.

He did announce that the bombing would commence immediately. I don't know, hiding your head in the sand is no way to defend yourself and the office.

Oh my. Code Pinkos are there. Can't wait for them to stage some wacky verbal protest.

Of course Code Pink is there at Waxman's hearing- Waxman helped Code Pink deliver money to the terrorists holed up in Fallujah.

The only hope is if the main stream reporters are now confused

No, those scumbags are not confused - - they know exactly what they must do: paint Plame as honest, hurt and vulnerable, and above all, completely believable, and a tragic victim of a bloodthirsty White House slime machine, etc.

Bush is bad and it is up to the dems to destroy him. This charade was one step in the campaign to get Bush through Rove and Cheney.

You left out something in an otherwise excellent post: "Bush is bad and it is up to the dems to destroy him. This charade was one step in the campaign to get Bush through Rove and Cheney and get even for the Clinton impeachment."

is it my imagination or is this case alot like leaking Plame's sleep number?

If it is, all she has to do is say that her sleep number hasn't been the same since she gave birth to two adorable twins, and everyone will be putty in her hands.

This show trial is giving me uncomforatble flashbacks to the Anita Hill hearings. I'd watch them, think everyone on earth could see through her, and then listen to women gush about sexual harrassment.

Fast forward 15 years and you can get sued for millions of dollars if someone doesn't want to go out with you. Remember when the worst that could happen is they'd say "no"?

The proof is in the puddin' - neither Novak nor Armittage had any charges brought against them. The bottomline is that Joe Wilson is a lying blowhard whose only goal was to smear a President during the midst of a war and make himself the hero of the Left. He was aided and abetted by his wife and her cronies in the CIA. That's the real story. If she didn't want to be "outed" and still keep her day job, then she should have told her blabbermouth husband to shut the hell up.
