4. Oooh

Timmy shot Scooter down cold. Said Libby never mentioned Plame to him in phone call.

Wells will now spend an hour or so confusing the jury until they are glassy-eyed. That seems to be his defense strategy.

8. You're welcome.

Damn, I miss her. Wonder if she and Molly are sitting together now and planning the mischief they could cause down here on earth?

Kinda tickles my funny bone to think about it.

:D

10. I only knew of here as a name.

I also frankly admit that she never aroused my curiosity, and don't recall anything memorable about or by her. But after seeing that quote, here's what I dug out: http://www.quoteworld.org/authors/erma_louise_bombeck

9. What irks me about What Russert is saying and what many others (including Fitz)

have implied is that it's a "significant" story that Plame may have been involved in sending Wilson to Niger. First...it has remained unchallenged that she sent him...when in fact this doesn't appear to be the case. She may have been asked about whether or not it was a good idea, but she didn't send him. Didn't have the authority. Ridiculous. "She sent him..." is repeated in questions and testimony over and over.

Second....saying that it's an important story gives credence to the mis-guided perception Wilson is discredited just because his wife works at CIA. Libby and Cheney "just wanted to get the facts out" about Wilson...that his credibility is questionable because....his wife was asked about if he would like to go or if he would be a good person to send????
