The bombing in London by terrorists and the continuation of the war in Iraq were of secondary importance to official Washington and the mainstream media this week. Even the prospect of the president having to replace two vacancies upon the Supreme Court received short shrift.
Instead, the continuing saga of Karl Rove, Joe Wilson, and Valerie Plame and who-outed-who electrified the media in what has to be one the biggest non-stories in politics to date. While the country has been deluged with Rove's supposed dark and "traitorous" vendetta against former CIA agent, sometime Vanity Fair cover girl Valerie Plame, I thought it might be useful to remind all just who is most responsible for the tangled web of intrigue we find ourselves in today.
Memo to the masses: When you see the words "misspoken," "erred," and "confused," in relation to former ambassador Joseph Wilson, know this: These words are typical beltway qualifiers that seek to say in essence that "I lied," without ever having to say the word "lied."
