Whole thing makes me want to throw up. Armitage is a yellow belly.

There was nothing to "leak". I don't know why they keep forgetting that little part. Plus, it was Wilson who "outed" his wife. It was on his homepage long before this media conspiracy became a fabricated "scandal".
The next chapter of this saga will probably the Plame/Wilson divorce.
So let me see if I understand this...
There was nothing to this whole story, the MSM new it the whole time, and the President did not lie.
Is that basically correct?

Why isn't the Old Media camped out on Armitage's streetcorner attempting to get a statement?
They share greatly in Armitage's shame.
David must be a FReeper.
Now I think it time for a special prosecutor to investigate Patrick Fitzgerald and his ham handed, expensive and thoroughly wrong-headed investigation. Let's start with an audit of the money spent and the people hired.
The real disgrace here is Patrick Fitzgerald who evidently knew the truth of the matter on day one, but decided that he'd spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to put a few people through hell for a few years all to the purpose of advancing his own career.
They ought to lock the bum up and throw away the key.
What a wonderful way to illustrate the significance.
The Dems, the Left, and the MSM can not be allowed to just drop this issue.
This was white hot in 2003 and 2004. This was going to be the Watergate, the turn of the screw that was going to lead to the impeachment of President Bush.
Oh yeah, the Left was orgasmic over the prospects.
Now, the MSM wants to just make this go away, when they were complicit in the lies. When Joe Wilson was exposed as a liar by the Senate Intelligence Committee last year, he wasn't worried--he knew the MSM would just cover for him, which they did.
Fitzgerald needs to be fired, and brought up on misconduct charges. Libby needs to have all charges dropped. After all, perjury is no big deal--that's what the MSM drilled into us in 1998-1999, when their buddy Bill Clinton was in the hot seat.
No, they can not be allowed to go quietly into this good night.
Just as important, now that the Niger issue has been proven true, what were the inplications for the War on Terror. It tuns the whole world view of the MSM on its head. That can't be allowed to die either.
Unfortunately, Wilson is raking in some pretty big bucks on the college lecture circuit. Back in Michigan, my wife forwarded me the laudatory newspaper article announcing his presence; not one word about his documented lies. His lecture was attended by over 1,000 students.

State of the Union Address
January 28, 2003"The New York Times published an op-ed that accused the president of twisting intelligence."
"...almost every detail of" (the) "story was false."
"the President had spoken accurately."
"It's a shameful story."
What you have right here boys & girls is RATher/Mapes/Burkett/Lockhart 1.0... with an upgrade. This time, the DNC had loyal operatives(Clinton stooges) in critical positions willing to whore for them... instead of some old, half-nuts DNC activist in TX.
No crude forgeries were needed on this one... it was all word of mouth... he-said... she-said.
If you or I misappropriately funds the the extent Fitzpatrick has, we would be prosecuted.
Has anyone information re. prosecutorial misconduct by the Fitzpatrick?
If this is true, didn't Fitsgerald himself break the law?
