I think you'll find when all is said and done, this is one of the biggest NON-stories in history. Fedora knew the comment was tongue-in-cheek. You have obviously had a humorectomy recently. Get well soon.
The leak part of the story is, indeed, a huge non-story. The part about the Niger trip, forged documents, and Wilson's collusion with reporters to damage the Bush administration is big, but it will never get the kind of coverage and investigation it warrants.
As for your comment being tongue-in-cheek, perhaps if it has been accompanied by a wink symbol instead of a end-scarcasm tag, those of us who don't know you would have understood. It helps to bear in mind that the internet is a one-dimensional communications medium and, as such, it increases the potential for misunderstandings between people.
