"Both times that I heard her, the second time mere seconds ago, she called Valerie Plame "Valerie PLUME"."

Well, here's an admittedly lame defense: "Plame" is an unusual name that itself looks almost like a typo, so I don't fault Gomez - who probably hasn't been closely following the story the way we all have - if her brain translates "Plame" into something more familiar like "Plume". A lot of us in here initially thought [Jamie] Gorelick was pronounced "Gore-lick", when it's really "Gore-ell-ick". Our brains try to put things into familiar patterns.

Rebecca Gomez just correctly pronounced "Plame".

I'm pleased.
