Lawyers for Vice President Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and two other Bush administration officials belittled Valerie Plame's lawsuit Thursday over the disclosure of her CIA identity.

At a nearly-three-hour court hearing, Cheney's lawyer said Plame was making "fanciful claims" in what amounted to "a fishing expedition."

Plame says her constitutional rights were violated by Cheney and his now-convicted former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, as well as White House political adviser Rove and former State Department official Richard Armitage.

Her suit is "principally based on a desire for publicity and book deals," said Michael Waldman, who represents Armitage

Once again the media uses the Scooter Libby conviction to add bona fides to their story when they conveniently and deceitfully forgrt to say Libby was convicted of perjury ,a conviction that really has nothing to do with her outing.It was also a conviction that could only happen in washington with a jury full of Bush Bashing idiots with the combined intelligence of a 75 watt bulb.

Valerie Plame is an idiot and her husband a crook. The two of them should just go away.

I’ll bet those two clowns dress in each other’s clothing at night. ‘Joe/Valerie’ wears a blond wig, smokes a cigarette with a long holder, and says ‘I am a covert employee of the *Agency*, I cannot discuss my work dahlink’, and then ‘Valerie/Joe’ tightens the rope around the neck of the beefy faux-blonde, and whispers “ohhh you will discuss your work, and then I will tell the New York Times about the Nigerian yellowcake, yessss you didn’t think I KNEW about that did you?’, the restrained covert ‘agent’ begins to whimper, garishly painted lips quivering, says “no, no, NO, you must not disclose this secret information, the future of the Middle East could hinge on what happens here tonight, what can I do to keep you from undertaking such a nefarious deed?”, and the semi-shapely ‘ambassador’ says “ohhh there is a way we can keep your little secret, but first you will bend over for a well deserved spanking, for being so *careless* with classified data!”

“Noooooo, not that!!! Not the spankings again!! noooo!!”

Hey, with those two misfits, anything is possible.

If it wasn’t for the fact that an innocent man (Scooter Libby) was hung out to dry for the benefit of this pair of insufferable egomaniacs, it would almost be funny.
