Robert NovakRobert Novak's July 12 column and his appearance on Meet the Press Sunday night have dissolved any remaining doubt about the mad theory that the Bush administration "outed" Ms. Valerie Plame as revenge for her husband's refusal to confirm the report by British intelligence that Iraqi officials had visited Niger in search of uranium. To summarize, we now know that:

What a waste of taxpayer money over absolutely nothing! Think of the number of trees that had to die! The horror! These two people have mental problems, it's called BDS. Time for the rubber rooms.

This does not mesh with the Bush is stupid meme.

He outed Valerie Plame and outsmarted Saint Patrick Fitzgerald??

Everyone is so tired the Joe (the non-qualified "ambassador") and Valerie (the non-uncover "agent" working in N. Virginia).

Their lawsuit was their final cry for help.

Now, the movie "The End of the Affair" is something to discuss that is interesting.

Julliane Moore has to be one of the most beautiful women of our time.

And the hapless Wilsons have been obliged to file their own civil suit, as if the "discovery" it might afford will surpass what Fitzgerald, armed with a quiver of subpoenas and waivers, has been able to accomplish.

The civil suit will be dropped like a hot potato after the November elections no matter who comes out on top.

The last thing the Wilsons want is to go through discovery.

You're probably right, but I sincerely hope not. I want someone to take this to trial and put Wilson AND Plame on the hot seat and grill them like T-bone steaks. I want to see them sweating and humiliated in the national spotlight and, when the whole thing is put to rest, I want EVERY American to know not only what frauds these two are, but what frauds the MSM and the Democrats are by trying to push this as a major issue.

That would be a good thing...

There may well be a connection between Wilson and Congressman Jefferson of Louisiana.

Google in Congressman Jefferson and Joe Wilson and check out the second entry on the first page.

There is a lot more there there.
