There should be a turnabout on this. Valerie was outed in print long before any of this took place. Probably why she was no longer a spook.
she got benched as part of the fallout over Ames, IIRC.
she was not a spook when Rove made his mildly phrased disclosure.
in a rational world, the lamestream media and the dims would end up looking like morons over this fart-in-a-whirlwind "scandal".
