Ridiculous Plame Kerfuffle
I can't believe I'm linking to Slate, but Christopher Hitchens has a good article rounding up the ridiculous Plamegate crackup.
In his July 12 column in the Washington Post, Robert Novak had already partly exposed this paranoid myth by stating plainly that nobody had leaked anything, or outed anyone, to him. On the contrary, it was he who approached sources within the administration and the CIA and not the other way around. But now we have the final word on who did disclose the name and occupation of Valerie Plame, and it turns out to be someone whose opposition to the Bush policy in Iraq has—like Robert Novak's—long been a byword in Washington. It is particularly satisfying that this admission comes from two of the journalists—Michael Isikoff and David Corn—who did the most to get the story wrong in the first place and the most to keep it going long beyond the span of its natural life.
Indeed. The Left looks completely stupid regarding this. The drooling and slobbering they have done over this, thinking they finally had Bush and Cheney on the ropes, has been nothing short of sickening.
Read this whole column.
On another note, I keep reading about how so many pundits think the Democrats are going to retake the House this November. I honestly don't know how anyone other than the psycho far left DU types could want those people in power. The thought of Speaker Pelosi scares me every bit as much as the thought of President Kerry did. As I've said again and again, we simply cannot let that happen.
