Plame Blame Game

Did anyone see last night's 60 minutes? The first part was on the CIA leak case in which the special prosecutor indicted VP Cheney's chief of staff, Scooter Libby, for making false statements and obstruction of justice. The piece more or less centered on the effects of Plame's outing with commentary from fellow retired undercover agents and Plame's husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson.

Though I'm usually on the left of issues, I do agree with certain right-of-center matters such as a strong defense and national security. I think it's totally messed up that W's people fucked over the American public by outing one of its agents and, consequently, putting other people's lives in danger just because someone disagreed and criticized W.

An article in today's NY Daily News quotes Gary Bauer, a former Republican presidential candidate, as saying that Plame's sending her husband on "a mission that ended up in a very real way being used to undermine the President's desires in foreign policy" can be argued that "she sought to 'undermine' the administration". How fucking stupid are these right-wingers?

By outing our own agent, the administration set back the network she established to gain intelligence on foreign activities which could affect the national security of the U.S. When the folks on the hill bitch about not knowing how shit happens because we don't have assets in place, this is a perfect example of why we didn't know since shit got messed up.

Robert Novak and whomever (Cheney, Libby, Rove, Wolfowitz, & Co.) told him should be anally cattle-prodded and publicly bitch-slapped before being sent up for 15 year bid. But knowing how W is loyal to "his people", he'd probably pardon them. It seems "his" people is more important than the American people.

We need a serious presidential candidate in 2008, not another platform partyline spewing schmuck to led this country. We need someone like Arnold Vinnick or Matt Santos from the West Wing, no bullshit, just straight-up fix this country.

W, kiss my ass!

To the Feds monitoring this blog: this is only an opinion as I'm sure you'd want kick the shit out him too.
