With the REVELATION by Newsweek's Michael Isikoff that the REAL source of the leak of Valerie Plame's name to Robert Novak was NOT Karl Rove but frequent critic of the Administration's Iraq policy, Richard Armitage, both DUmmieland and the KOmmieland are in a deep state of shock. Therefore, in order to ease their angst, perhaps this is a good time to take a brief break and serenade them with the Freudenschade song (to the tune of "Edelweiss) composed by that famous Tin Pan Alley songmeister, Charles Hendrickson:
Freudenschade, Freudenschade,
DUmmie joy bears repeating;
Pop champagne, feel no pain--
Only thing, it's so fleeting.
Make 'em eat crow and the gloom will grow,
Gloom will grow and sour.
Freudenschade shoots its wad
In less than twenty-four hours.
Sorry, Lefties but there will be NO Fitzmas and NO Karl Rove frogwalk across the White House lawn despite the fact that one William Rivers Pitt GUARANTEED that he had been indicted on May 12. Once again, the invisible forces of Freudenschade has snatched defeat from the DUmmie jaws of victory. So let us now watch first the DUmmies and then the KOmmies desperately try to deny reality. First we visit this comedic DUmmie THREAD titled, "News Breaking: Armitage's admission to outing Valerie Plame," followed by a trip to the Daily Kos in this THREAD titled, "Newsweek: Plame Outed By Armitage." As usual, the DUmmie and KOmmie mournful bleatings over their stolen Fitzmas are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, still gleefully humming the Freudenschade song, is in in the [brackets]:
News Breaking: Armitage's admission to outing Valerie Plame
[Merry Fitzmas!!!]
Richard Armitage, a well-known gossip who loves to dish and receive juicy tidbits about Washington characters, apparently hadn't thought through the possible implications of telling Novak about Plame's identity.
"I'm afraid I may be the guy that caused this whole thing," he later told Carl Ford Jr., State's intelligence chief. Ford says Armitage admitted to him that he had "slipped up" and told Novak more than he should have.
"He was basically beside himself that he was the guy that f---ed up. My sense from Rich is that it was just chitchat," Ford recalls in "Hubris," to be published next week by Crown and co-written by the author of this article and David Corn, Washington editor of The Nation magazine.
[OOPS!!!]
What a total crock of shit!
[De-Nile is a river in Africa.]
I'm not going to buy he was the lone ranger.
[I'm not going to buy that George Bush was inaugurated in January, 2005.]
And how did Armitage find out?
[Jason Leopold was his source.]
This sounds like a pretty piece of propaganda. How is David Corn involved in this? Isikoff is a major player elf. He gave elves a bad name. What is the elf connection?
[I dunno. Why don't you ask the Evil Elf himself---Dennis Kucinich.]
Didn't Novak, on Meet The Press today, say that Armitage wasn't the person who outed Plame to him?
[No. That was just wishful thinking on your part.]
Novak did NOT deny that it was NOT Armitage-nor did he confirm it.
[There's STILL hope. Novak didn't confirm it. Keep grasping at those straws.]
The whitewash cleansing of the holy bush administration just in time...... for the elections. Sounds like a f--king miracle to me? Who would like to fall on their sword next, I'm sure they will be rewarded with 20 virgins and a new idenity and join Ken Lay in bushco's paradise.
[I know benburch would LOVE to fall on a sword or, preferably, a long lance.]
How nice of Armitage to try to be the fall guy for this gang. Why didn't he come forward 3 years ago and save everyone the time and trouble? Sorry Dick, nice try but we ain't buying your bill of goods today.
[It's because Armitage is a big fan of the DUmmie FUnnies and enjoys laughing at the DUmmies (and KOmmies) making fools of themselves over waiting for their Great Pumpkin known as Fitzmas.]
Wonder how much THEY are paying him?
[Armitage was given a chocolate fountain in exchange for aiding the Vast Rightwing Conspiracy.]
I F*cking Smell Another Medal of Freedom
[aka the Rovie Award.]
Utter, total, complete, unmitigated, mind-boggling, SIXTH HAND bullcrap.
[How dare you question the quality of the TruthOut reports. And now let us join the meltdown on the KOmmie THREAD.]
where's Fitz? I lost 100 bucks on a Frogmarch bet and I think he should reimburse me for it.
[Take your case to Judge Judy.]
Armitage said something to Novak on July 8. It's unclear whether he exposed Plame's covert identity. But in any case, he wasn't part of the plot, we can say with near certainty.
[Can we also say with near certainity that Karl Rove was indicted on May 12?]
When I was a relative newbie here... and Fitz made his "big" announcement re: Libby only, I diaried my devastation and was promptly given the troll treatment by other Kossacks. Every time I hear/read the name Plame, I'm reminded that I'm still bitter about it. Fitz...what a f*cking disappointment.
[Merry Fitzmas!!!]
The article mentions that Fitz found no evidence that Armitage knew she was covert. Apparantly, he learned about Plame from the INR memo, which in no way identifies her as covert.
[And the reason for this is because Valerie Plame was NOT covert.]
Doesn't make sense. If it were just a slip by Armitage, this would have been a non-story ages ago.
[It should have been a non-story from the get-go but thanx to the DUmmies and KOmmies and their press cohorts, this non-story was kept artificially alive when it was really DOA.]
I hate to mention the name Jason Leopold, but on his (and Marc Ash) latest update, he claims that Cheney is the focus of Fitzgerald investigation.
[Then it MUST be as true as the May 12 Karl Rove indictment.]
ACHES
ON A PLAME
Relax, Will, this too shall pass. And if teaching, journalism, and activism are no longer career options, there's always bar bouncery.
Leopold, Ash, but what about . . .
WILLIAM RIVERS PITT?
If the source was a >conservative< the liberal reporters would gladly have outed him years ago.
NOW we know the real reason for journalistic silence...
It had nothing to do with journalistic integrity or the sacerd protection of a source...no.
They were protecting a LIBERAL source!
I take Goody's or BC powders for my aches and plames....old remedies are the best....
But in all seriousness what the heck has Fitz been doing all this time? If he's known since 2003 who the "leaker" was why all this nonsense at the taxpayers' expense? I thought this guy was supposed to be a tough but principled attorney. This is completely frustrating.

Keep dreaming DUmmies and KOmmies!
He's in up to his ears! Corn should be canned!
QED. Even if there is such a pleading as "Sealed vs. Sealed," it must be a civil matter such as an attempt by parts of the media to get documents released to the public. What fools the DUers are, to think that this could possibly be an indictment.

Latest article: "Bad Judges Make Bad Law."
Please see my most recent statement on running for Congress, here.
If your brain is in your heart, frog-marched Rove will be a start,
When you wish upon Will Pitt as DUmmies do
(Fate is cruel, she brings to DUmmies who
can't leave their mom's house to find a real job)
Like a brick come off the wall, Lucy goes and grabs the ball,
When you wish upon Will Pitt, your dreams fall through
I'm curious about that too, the whereabouts of the Bostonian Drunkard.
I had a freak accident last Wednesday, and can't really post with a cast on the right arm, wrist, and hand--I can, but only with great difficulty--I can only read the internet for now, and so could someone keep an eye out for the Bostonian Drunkard?
Up through last Wednesday, he'd been making his pompous pious pontificating preachments in the "lounge" of DUmmieland. If anybody spots the Bostonian Drunkard, I'd consider it a great favor to be hollered at.
Magic Man, Magic Man
Does whatever a DUmmie can
Spins a yarn, any size
Catches DUpes with his lies
Truth Out! Here comes the Magic Man
Is he DUmb? Listen, bud
Hoaxmas fell on him with a thud
Can he flame at his foes?
Read it on Daily Kos
In the Pitt of night
Booze goes right to his head
Looking for a fight
He tells Skinner "drop dead"
Magic Man, Magic Man,
Friendly neighborhood Magic Man
Truth and facts he's ignored
Laughter is his reward
To him, life is all freudenschade
Wherever there's bulldada
You'll find the Magic Man!
Dear Diary,
I was like TOTALLY embarrassed today when Lisa Wegman and I showed up at school WEARING THE SAME OUTFIT! I could SO not believe it!!! Me, and that looser!
And then Jason Connors {sigh} said hi to me between science and art RIGHT WHEN I WAS PICKING MY NOSE!!! I wanted to crawl inside my locker!!!
But the worst part of my very horrible day was when they announced that Scooter Libby was being indicted BUT NOT KARL ROVE!!! How could Fitz DO this to me? To US? Diary, I am SO mad right now, I could just SCREAM!
I think I'll go downstairs and eat a pint of almond praline.
Best Friends Forever,
Victoria
They didn't come at you with the baseball bats again, did they?
It was a freak accident--leaving me temporarily able to type only with the left hand--not an accident with freaks. I'll pm you in the morning.
We've been meaning to talk to you about that, ben. . . .
