THE PLAME GAME
Valerie, Valerie, Bo Balerie, Banana Fana Fo Falerie, Fe Fi Mo, Malerie.... Valerie
This from the powerful, vast right wing conspiracy media member...The Washington Post? Read on! By George, I think they've got it!
Nevertheless, it now appears that the person most
responsible for the end of Ms. Plame's CIA career
is Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson chose to go public with
an explosive charge, claiming -- falsely, as it
turned out -- that he had debunked reports of
Iraqi uranium-shopping in Niger and that his
report had circulated to senior administration
officials. He ought to have expected that both
those officials and journalists such as Mr. Novak
would ask why a retired ambassador would have
been sent on such a mission and that the answer
would point to his wife. He diverted
responsibility from himself and his false charges
by claiming that President Bush's closest aides
had engaged in an illegal conspiracy. It's
unfortunate that so many people took him
seriously.
He was taken seriously because formerly sane people have become stark-raving mad lunatics due to their hatred of the current President. A hatred that doesn't even make any sense in it's disproportionality. So there you go.
