Are you SURE this is from the LA Times?????

Yep, it's from the LA Times, all right.

Wonder of wonders...

Is this coming from the op-ed page staff, or is this a guest columnist?

Yes to both. Boot is a recurring "guest" on their page. He appears about once a month at the most. Pretty much a token conservative as someone else said, but a pretty effective one as you can see...

This is the easy thing to write. I'll be surprised if the Times pursues any stories on: 1) Who's paying Joe Wilson? 2) Who DID leak Plame? 3) Who signed off on Wilson to Niger and why? 4) What's the connection between Wilson and fake French documents? etc. etc.

Calling Bob Woodward

[Purrcival]

"He [Fitz] should have either accomplished his quartera** investigation in about three months or turned and looked into the behaviors of Wilson, Plame, the CIA and the 'Rats in general."

Actually, I'm hoping that Scooter Libby's trial will end up leading in that direction. I hate to see Scooter going through this, but this could actually backfire on the RATs, big time!

Next time one of your liberal friends or co-workers claims that Bush lied about the WMDs, etc., ask them why Bush et al did not have WMDs planted in Iraq following the invasion. If Bush would knowingly send our troops into battle over a lie (and of course to help his Big Oil buddies), and with full knowledge that many soldiers would die, why wouldn't he continue his evil ways and plant WMDs and avoid all these question over whether Hussein ever possessed WMDs.

Even if Bob Novak had not mentioned her name, what's the likelihood that Mrs. Joe Wilson IV Number 3 would ever be involved in covert work overseas again, say if she accompanied her husband to a new assignment to another obscure Francophone country? Her CIA status had already been revealed by Aldrich Ames to the KGB, and by CIA carelessness Castro also knew, but wouldn't an ambassador's wife be treated with suspicion as a potential CIA agent anyay? ...certainly not like a non-political businessperson.

How perfect is this sentence? I love it also. I need to remember it:
