Hopefully, the rogue anti-Bush group in the CIA who pulled off the Wilson trip to Niger will be outed in this process. And if we're lucky, Pincus at WaPo with his State/CIA contacts will be exposed too.

Yes, the State Department, long known as a nest for Soviet spies and other anti-American mice, cannot be left out of the equation. In fact, Wilson (at State) and Plame (at CIA) were a marriage made in heaven (no pun intended) for colluding to pull off the Wilson-to-Niger scheme to smear Bush and influence the 2004 Presidential election.

It is worth noting that the federal governement is so riddled with liberals and leftists that 'scandals' like Watergate never have much chance of becoming reality. On the other hand, liberal and leftist machines like Clinton Administration have an ample supply of people inside government to do their dirty work.

Watergate was founded on the charge that Nixon had abused the IRS to go after enemies. But the truth is he only TRIED. He was unable to get the IRS to cooperate.

Flash forward to Clinton. Only this year, an investigator was about to report how Clinton abused the IRS, and ordered many politically-motivated audits. We here are familiar with many of the names, including Paula Jones and others.

On an even more insidious level, now consider that there is always a shadow left wing government around, particularly at State and CIA. And the best evidence of that is Walson and Plame. Call it the bad Clinton aftertaste. Even worse, remember Bush let many of these people 'burrow down' after Slick and the Pantsuit carried off their last bit of silverware.

The media also plays a role. Because in this game, the disatisfied are always there to help the press 'do its job.' And with so many libs holding down postions of power and within the ranks, sources and stories are without end.

Squaring all this up with Plame-Wilson, however, shows how overconfident this 'arrangement' has become. The case at hand is about a non-covert agent, sending her partisan husband off on a mission under the guise of objectivity. And after the husband duly reports to a Senate committee his findings, he immediately (actually not even immediately) misrepresents his work, and 'outs' his un-outable wife just to muddy the waters.

Enter the press to play their part in advocacy journalism. Unlike their 'work' during Clinton, where nothing is ever found or really investigated (except Monica, thanks to Drudge), we find this thundering herd of dunderheads busy tripping over themselves, and never even taking the time to catch a breath. As a result their stories never have the 'connectedness' to bring the reader up to speed about what is known and what isn't. Instead, all or most stories are projections by the reporter that keep liberal hope alive that Rove or Bush will be destroyed at the end of the day.
