Valerie Plame & Joe Wilson Bug Me

When you look at this picture, what do you see? I see the same thing that I saw when the ridiculous Vanity Fair cover with Plame in sunglasses and and headscarf ala Princess Grace (Kelly) of Monaco.

These two people seem to be the Ultimate Washington Insiders. Living large on the common man's tax dollars. Jet-setting and hob-knobbing with all the Media elites. Taking little trips with important sounding objectives like kids playing cops and robbers with the world as their backyard.

Cunning and devious. Superficial and polished. They use their wiliness for personal gain. If America gains, too, that's nice, but hardly necessary. If the part of America they deem worthy gains, that's what matters.

That Plame's CIA work was Washington's worst kept secret hardly surprises. Her husband is a pompous blowhard.

Anyway, enough on this! I'm sick of it and them. That no one will be indicted for an actual crime besides giving conflicting statements (and who wouldn't give conflicting statements after being badgered for hours and hours) and that tax dollars go for this ridiculous investigation annoys to no end. If you want the latest about PlameGate hit JustOneMinute. Maguire covers everything.

Update: Well, well, what do you know: Journalists all over are being hauled in to testify about "leaks" that damage people, cases (Barry Bonds), the government, blah, blah, blah. Serves them right for their self-righteous indignant reaction to the Plame Game. I'm not so sure I like the idea of the government getting aggressive about secret sources, but you know what? I'm sick of the media being uncurious, selective and politically purposeful with their sources and resulting leaks. Argh! Anyway, Glenn Reynolds linked to the above link by saying, "What hath Keller wrought" and then saying, "Reaping a whirlwind." Indeed.
