Plame story will not go away!
Plus we were promised more this week by Washington Post! I've noticed it dropping off dramatically. Even here at DU!

3. everyone needs to write their congresspeople and media outlets RE: this
We have to keep on it. It's an outrage. It's treason. It's high crimes. And it's the most blatant hypocrisy imaginable.

Let's make this happen:

7. Call 1 (800) 839 - 5276 - TOLL FREE Capitol Hill Switchboard!
THey'll transfer you to anybody's office in the House or Senate, just for the asking.

Do it MONDAY MORNING, FIRST THING!! Won't cost you a penny! I'd especially recommend it if you're calling RETHUGS!!! And we NEED to call rethugs. They're pretty much in lock-step together, but they need to be nagged and bothered and reminded and have it shoved in their face that a majority of Americans wants a special prosecutor!!! Remind them of THE POLLS THAT SHOW THIS RESOUNDINGLY!! It's a MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WANTING THIS MORE OBJECTIVELY INVESTIGATED!!!!!!!

I like using this number to call rethugs because I've found that some of their staffers get in yer face and start arguing with you, or demanding what this has to do with the state of (whatever state whose rep you're calling - answer: It affects the ENTIRE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and ALL THE PEOPLE IN IT!!! Like, maybe OUR GRAVELY-COMPROMISED NATIONAL SECURITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

That way, if they start giving you a rough time, maybe it's because they're being vindictive and assuming you're calling long distance so they'll show you, and stick it to you in the phone bill department. Joke's on them, though, if you're calling toll free! They can stall you on the phone all they want, that way, and they're not hurting you at all. I've had this happen, by the way, especially in offices like Orrin Hatch's and Susan Collins'. Just a suggestion.

But maggrwaggr is correct. WE have to help keep this story alive. If you can, check out Take Back the Media for media numbers and emails and fire some off to them, too. If they think readers/viewers/listeners care about this, they'll adjust their programming and their coverage accordingly. Because they're ALL whores.

This is IMPORTANT, GUYS!!! This is street-fighting. And the bad guys have us somewhat outflanked.

For now...

8. These idiots torqued the CIA off over their handling
of this "leak", which I am sure they planed.
There is one year for this to build before the next election. Got your lawn chairs, popcorn and beer yet?

9. Is transference the term that describes it...
when people talk about others but they're really revealing something about themselves? There has to be a term for it. Anyhow, I believe that this quote from the president in Podesta's article is an example of it:

"President Bush this week told reporters that we may never find out the real story here because the press "does a very good job of protecting the leakers"."

Thanks for posting the leak... erm.... link!
