Plame Game


What should be the biggest (if not bigger) scandal since Watergate has relegated itself to an almost "inside baseball" factoid of Washingtonian scandals. Many, including the likes of Arianna Huffington, have said it. The Plame outing by this Administration is much graver than Watergate. Thousands of lives were not lost as a result of the Watergate burglary. A war waged against the Middle East and fanning the flames of incendiary Muslim extremism was not the outcome of Nixonian obstruction of justice.

If you look at right-wing zealots commentary, blogs, and other Administration apologists in various podunk newspaper columns, it's all about questioning whether Plame was even a covert CIA operative. Reality revisionism comes in handy these days as the deluge of information and misinformation overwhelms many who don't have a tight grip on the handrail of facts.

As much as I loathe Joe Scarborough, he at least admitted this much on the Bill Maher show...

SCARBOROUGH: You know, the question is how would Republicans respond – and this is what I've been saying from the very beginning – how would Republicans have responded had, in 1997, James Carville and Al Gore's chief of staff outed a CIA agent, covert agent, at a time of war?

MAHER: Right.

SCARBOROUGH: They would have all been lynched.


Democrats who are outnumbered in the house or senate are operating with only one ball. Nonetheless, activate cajones !
