Oh yeah, and... The main reason I posted this was because I love seeing Joe Wilson exposed as the hack he really is. That whole thing made me sick to my stomache when it was going on, and I'm glad to see it finally resolved.

Hitch killed me, describing Plame as "someone who shuttles dangerously "under cover" between Georgetown and Virginia and takes a surreptitious part in an open public debate."

Wilson, from a Talking Points Memo interview, trying to convince us Plame had NOTHING to do with his trip to Niger:

"For those who would assert that somehow she was involved in this, it just defies logic. At the time, she was the mother of two-year-old twins. Therefore, sort of sending her husband off on an eight-day trip leaves her with full responsbility for taking care of two screaming two year old kids without help, anybody who is parent would understand what that means. Anybody who is a mother would understand it even far better. Secondly, I mean, the notion somehow that this was some nepotism, that I was being sent on an eight-day, all-expense paid--no salary, mind you--trip to the Sahara desert. This is not Nassau we were talking about. This is not the Bahamas. It wasn't Maui. This was the Sahara desert. And then, the only other thing I can think of is the assertion that she wanted me out of the way for eight days because she, you know, had a lover or something, which is, you don't take lovers when you have two year old kids at home. So there's no logic in it..."

BUSTED! Haha...

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
