Valerie Plame, Nude! [Was this Slate article inspired by a FR poster?]

The reason I ask this question is because I am sure a FreeRepublic poster posted this same photo of Valerie Plame on one of my threads this past weekend (and I had never seen it before). And, since we all know everyone in the blogosphere reads FR, it seems to me the FR poster's posting is what inspired this Slate article.

IMO, this is yet another example of how FR posters make news...

Yes, that's the OTHER photo mentioned in the article -- but, the photo of her WITHOUT a scarf and sunglasses is what a FR poster posted on the thread this weekend -- and, now, that same photo is in Slate.

That ridiculously glam "I'm such a secret agent" Vanity Fair cover destroyed whatever credibility Wilson had. This clown is all about making a name for himself on the cocktail party circuit.

Yeah, but what's interesting to me is that Slate seems to agree with you! :)

I hate you Summer for drawing me into a thread that promises nude photos and delivers nothing! I hate you, I hate you! :)

P.S. however, if you ever find nudes of Brittney Spears, please, oh please, start a thread!

The serious liberal bloggers (meaning the ones that aren't complete loons) like Josh Marshall started laying off the Plame nonsense after that VF spread. It became glaringly obvious to everyone but the idiots at the NY Times that Joe Wilson was a seeker of fame first and foremost.

It has been very interesting to see the liberal blogs today, like the Huffington Whatever. All weekend she had Lawrence Lassie O'Donnell up front, first, etc., but now that CNN had him on last night, and all he could say was no crime was committed, Huffington took Lassie down a few notches today.

I posted it yesterday. I got it from NRO's The Corner.

There's another pic floating around of the Wilsons, in addition to the VF pics.

Beautiful blonde? I guess if the libbies keep saying it long enough, someone will believe it eventually. She is an attractive woman, but the lamestream media and her husband have been playing her up as some kind of blonde bombshell secret agent ("Jane Blonde!") since this whole stupid story began.

What gets to me are media people pretending that the leaker is not known. Novak knows who leaked to him and the stories all say Novak has fully cooperated with the special prosecutor. >What would be the first Question the Prosecutor asked NOVAK? If you say, "Who leaked it to you?" go to the head of the class.Novak cooperated early on. When the special prosecutor asked he immediately cooperated.

You can also bet that before leaning on Novak and the other reporters the Special Prosecutor deposed every person who could have been the leaker. Question two... What would the first question the prosecutor asked each possible leaker? If you say, "Are you the leaker?" then you are batting 100%.

That means the special prosecutor knows who the leaker was. And most likey has what he needs to indict the leaker for perjury and revealing classified information.

What would the prosecutor then need to make a bullet proof case against the leaker? The testimony of other reporters to whom the leaker leake. Also the notes of those reporters to present as evidence at the trial.

It seems obvious to me that the leaker is going to get indicted and very likely convicted of at least perjury.

If that person were a Bush insider the media would have helped the prosecutor get him faster than you can say ... "The TIMES mission is to nail Republicans." But that is not the case.. the media wants to protect the leaker.

There will likely be two results. The leaker gets a felony conviction, and the reporters get some jail time. And the New York times if it fails to turn over its notes may get a large fine or worse.

The New York Times and Time Magazine have managed to prove that they can not protect leakers. Leakers can get in huge trouble, and the media can not even protect itself.

The Times and Time Magazine were stupid enough to demand a special prosecutor. They expected Bush to appoint someone who would slit his own throat. Instead Bush appointed a special prosecutor that would slit the leakers and the media's throats.

The media thinks of themselves as vicious tigers. They are about to be stomped on by an angry elephant.
