Is that what Joe Wilson said when he arrived in Niger to inquire about yellow cake (I always though it was "I'm parched, I'll take some of that mint tea if you've got any"?)?
If you watched Valerie "I'm so covert even I don't know what my status is" Plame testify on the Hill today, that's what you'd imagine he said!
The sad thing is, even if you believe her account of the story--IF your'e intellectually honest and remotely interested in what Plame claims to be interested in (separating politics from intelligence-gathering)--you simply have to wonder why neither Waxman, nor anyone else on the panel asked Ms. Plame the obvious question: "OK, if it wasn't you, if it was just some guy who walked past your desk, WHY HIM? WHY JOE WILSON?"
Not only do I want the answer to that question, I--and every other American taxpayer--am OWED the answer to that question.
And if Valerie Plame Wilson gave a fiddler's fart about national security, she'd not only be willing to tell us, she'd be EAGER to do so.
