I am still mad at him for breaking his promise in 2004 when he said he was going to move to Canada is Bush was elected.
Poor dear is helpless without a script.
go ahead, indict Richard Armitage or Colin Powell....take your pick of these 2 RINOs...
but NO...liberals love Powell et al. They can live with Republicans who are really Dims at heart.
What statute would have been violated by “outing” Ms. Plame-Wilson?
Libby was convicted of the “process crime” of being a Republican official in the District of Columbia whose memory differed from a reporters.
Al Baldwin and Al Gore have a lot in common.
They also appear to be on the same diet.
I know I shouldn’t be surprised but yet I’m always stunned at celebs who think they are enlightened mental giants.
How quickly that little nugget is going to take top priority with the Dims.
In his fantasy mind, the trial is for Dick Cheney and the sentence is crucifixion... real, public, crucifixion.
All this despite the fact that this is about the biggest non-scandal in history. Even if Valerie Plame WAS illegally outed (just for the sake of argument), how did that put her in danger or harm the country?
Excuse me ... what are Baldwin’s credentials? Can I see his resume and compare it to those of Bush and his staff? What ... he’s a drop out? Oh ... nevermind.
Using a little judgment, Plame and Wilson “outed” Plame once they realized this provided another excuse to go after Bush.
She got the CIA to send him to Africa and report back to the NYTs that Bush “lied” and should be impeached. With his taking such a high profile, her identity was bound to come out. Novak asked who hired this moonbat. Armitage said it was his wife who works at the CIA. Novak reported. Nobody cared. Then David Corn of the Nation magazine realized this could be another excuse to get Bush. Corn, Wilson, Plame and the liberal media then did everything they could to tell the world that Plame worked for the CIA.
She recommended her left-wing hubby for the job. Who made the actual selection? That seems to be a state secret.
Is there anyone more irrelevant than Alec Baldwin?

Excerpt:
Laura Knoy: I want to invite our listeners to join us, call in. I want to ask you before we go to our callers about the big news item this week. That is the commutation of the top aid Scootter Libby. What is your opinion? Mr. Libby was convicted by a jury of his peers for lying and obstructing justice. Yet he will not spend an hour in jail.
Duncan Hunter: First I would not pardon or commune the sentenced without reading the transcript. Having said that, I think there are a couple of things the American people have to know and reflect on. Most of the citizens think that Mr. Libby was sentenced for the disclosing the identity of a CIA agent. That is not true. Ultimately the prosecutor understood that Libby was not the person that disclosed the identity of the CIA agent’s identity. He did not prosecute him for that. You may notice that. That is not what the conviction is for. The conviction was for inconsistent statements and lying to the prosecutor.
Now I think there is something that folks have to look at here and that is this. When prosecutors get into a high profile class, in which he was going to persue people for disclosing the identity of a CIA agent under the Foreign Agents Identity Disclosure Act. That is a law we put into place to keep people from being disclosed. This is a very serious thing so he starts off on this prosecution where he is going to, by gosh, bring people to justice for that. He ends up not doing that because he didn’t find a case where a person had their identity illegally disclosed, so he takes the consolation prize. The consolation prize is always perjury. It is lying to the grand jury. The point that I made the last time I was interviewed on this is this point. Tell me what you did 30 days ago. Tell me all the meetings you had 30 days ago. You probably can’t tell me. So if I ask you questions for 3 or 4 hours as a cross examining attorney, I could probably bring up places where you have not given all the information about things in fact happened on particular days because you can’t remember. Now Libby claims he couldn’t remember these things and after they asked him many questions, they got him for inconsistent statements or lying.
I think you always have to be careful about that. But I think in terms of Obstruction Justice, which is the other consolation prize that a prosecutor goes for when he doesn’t get someone for the big one. Which is what he pursued in the first place. They left Mr. Libby with $250,000 in fines and on probation. His law career is ruined he will be disbarred. He will never be able to practice law again. I think that is probably reasonable. But now my recommendation is this. I would not pardon Mr. Libby without reviewing the transcript. And I haven’t reviewed the transcript.
But I would say this, I did review the transcript of Agents Compean and Ramos the two border patrol agents who were given 11 and 12 years in prison. It is a greater prison sentenced than the average convicted murder in this country for the fact that they wounded a drug dealer as he was bringing 750 pounds of drugs across the border from Mexico. I have reviewed their transcripts and I think they should be fully pardoned. And my recommendation to the White House, I called them up the day after they communed Scootter Libby sentence, was that it would be good for the President on the 4th of July to fully pardon Agents Compean and Ramos. I’ve met with their families; they have been rendered destitute by this prosecution. That is the most severe injustice I think I’ve ever seen in terms of uniform people being punished for being too aggressive in pursuing their duties on the border of Mexico.

Because he can't find his ass with both hands.
As John Bright said, "He is a self made man who worships his creator."
He’s starting to look like Michael Moore.
Don’t laugh. Hollyweird will probably release a movie next year starring George Clooney as FitzGerald and Baldwin as Joe Wilson. They can get any floozy off the street to play Plame.
The film will depict Bush & Rove & Cheney plotting to tell lie after lie, and invade nation after nation in order to secure oil rights. Wilson will try to expose these lies, being an honest and upright patriot. Plame will be depicted as a top secret, undercover operative who is in the midst of a delicate national security operation in Pakistan. In fact, she’s on the verge of capturing Osama when suddenly her cover is exposed when Bush & Co. order Scooter Libby to leak her name to the press.
The trial of the century will then take place, with Libby being convicted for the “leak” but Bush & Rove & Cheney escaping due to lies and obfuscation. The film will end with FitzGerald, Wilson, and Plame wondering sadly what has become of the America they once loved.
Many of these people--most of them probably--mean well, but the ruthless pursuit of truth--the very thing that should be valued most by the benevolent--is rejected in favor of banalities.
