"After the birth of the twins Plame took an (unpaid) leave of absence from the CIA for more than a year. (She says for post-partum depression.) "

And according to Wikipedia: "Valerie suffered from post-partum depression after their birth, and became a spokesperson for the disease."

First of all, has post-partum depression been officially catagorized as a disease by the medical field? Secondly, how does someone who is a covert, undercover agent for the CIA offer themselves as a spokesperson for this "disease"? Wouldn't that compromise their so-called cover by putting themselves out in the public forum?

This "hearing" makes no sense. Plame makes no sense. Why is she so EVERYWHERE if she's concerned about her "covert status" and identity being known? Why doesn't anyone on this mockery of a committee ask the questions?

This is the crap that happens when demonrats are in the majority. Does anyone else remember Henry Gonzales? Sheesh!

This won't be the last we've heard of this line of trashing the Bush White House.

But you can bet your house Toensing won't be allowed back.

I cannot remember ANY witness making statements like she did; I loved it.

There is absolutely no basis to bring prosecution against anyone else, or it would have been done long time ago, no matter "how" he said it. He also said that Valerie Plame was "classified" (not "covert") and that there was a "cloud" over VP...

His "office" is now only in existence to cover the appeals and post-trial issues. The case is over.

I am beginning to wonder about that myself. Maybe, everyone is so confused with all of the propaganda, they are afraid to speak up for fear of being wrong.

Yes, it's about time someone got it into the Congressional Record that it was the loathsome leftist David Corn of "The Nation" (neo-Stalinist fishwrap) who first printed the name Valerie Plame in this connection, amidst a hilarious diatribe that was obviously channeling Joe Wilson's talking points. It is clear from this July 16, 2003 column that Joe Wilson and David Corn were bosom buddies and that Wilson was telling Corn all sorts of nonsense:

http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:8LuP9QGo4DQJ:www.thenation.com/blogs/capitalgames%3Fpid%3D823+%22david+corn%22+%22the+nation%22+july+2003&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a

{I'm linking a cached version of the column because I can't bear to link to that cesspool called "The Nation"}

[David Corn's deranged mis-description of the situation]: The Wilson smear was a thuggish act. Bush and his crew abused and misused intelligence to make their case for war. Now there is evidence Bushies used classified information and put the nation's counter-proliferation efforts at risk merely to settle a score. It is a sign that with this gang politics trumps national security.

.........Can someone tell me what Waxman just said @ close about leaving the record open so they can answer some things that Victoria said that were not so? (paraphrasing here - don't understand his meaning)

.........................

The short answer is that Waxman is an slimebag Asshole who has just decided that he will rewrite her testimony the way he wants!

I just called the Minority of the Committee at 202-225-5074, and asked where the Republicans were during the questioning of Victoria. The aide said that 'Davis was there', and I told him I didn't hear any questions asked, and that the Republicans were derelict in their duties by being absent. They were elected to represent Republicans, and they did not do their job! That really irritates the hell out of me. I'm sorry for my language but the Democrats and Republicans are really getting to me. Reminds me of a picture I have of a frazzled woman, who says, "When I got up this morning, I had one nerve left, and damned if you haven't stepped on it already." That describes my mood right now.

A caller to Rush just said it looks like Armitage is a covert agent -- everyone's doing all they can to protect his identity! LOL!
