David Brooks says whether Valerie was covert or not is still a matter of dispute

[librechik]

and references staunch little Victoria's claim that Valerie wasn't technically legally covert. Then he says he wishes the story were over.

Oh, why now? Just before your crazy little story hits rock bottom?

Then he mouths the foolish Joe Wilson Lied gambit.

He is soooooo over.

[Eric J in MN]

1. Was this Brooks and (Mark) Shields on the PBS News Hour? NT

NT

[librechik]

3. yep--he is being foolish right now on the NewsHour.

[Canuckistanian]

2. So is his credibility

Jeez, these guys must be well paid.

[whistle]

4. Victoria's argument is the WH spin and Waxman publicly put Vicky on notice

....that he has ordered further investigations into her claim. She is full of shit IMHO because the way she put it the CIA is required to make a list of all of its covert agents and operators and furnish that list to anyone in government so that such officials won't out any of the agents.

That is absurd. Why would the CIA maintain a list of agents connecting those agents to the CIA if those agents are covert and in no way connected to the CIA and then give such a list to public governmental officials?

Hey, Mr Vice President, can you keep a secret? Good, here are all of our covert agents and their operators throughout the world. Now don't tell anyone, okay.

[trumad]

5. Ah the famous NOC list

Watch out for Ethan Hunt....

[xxqqqzme]

7. the absurdity of a list struck

me when she said it. She is a nasty, bitter woman.

Her entire explanation of the 'law' she helped write struck me that she was a chimpie 'signing statement' after the fact.

[Bitwit1234]

6. Do you or anybody had an email connection to Waxman

We should all bombard him asking for an investigation into Toesing and why she is spreading the lie after the CIA and Plame verifed she was covert. I think dyed haired Vicky should be arrested.

[Disturbed]

9. Brewster Jennings was not a Covert Operation

investigating WMD proliferation. :nuke:

[gratuitous]

8. Well, what do Plame and the CIA know, anyway?

Victoria Toensing will sic Nancy Grace's Flaming Nostrils of Justice on you if you don't see it her way. And one look at David Brooks and you know you don't want that to happen to you.

[toddaa]

10. David Brooks is absolutely correct

It is still a matter of dispute for those people with the IQs of toaster ovens.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

11. Joe Wilson lied? So Saddam did get yellow cake from Niger?

And the U.S. was struck by an atomic bomb? Somehow, I must have missed the mushroom cloud excitement in my neighborhood.

[WinkyDink]

12. Because LIARS will ALWAYS dispute the TRUTH.

[Jacobin]

13. Whether David Brooks is on acid is not a matter of dispute

[sendero]

14. As the late great..

... senator Patrick Moynihan once said "you are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts".

Brooks seems to have problems with facts all around. He's either a liar or a moron, it doesn't really matter which, I take nothing he says seriously.

[SmokingJacket]

15. How they love to muddy the waters!

Now we have to spend our time disproving Brooks instead of going after Rove.

:banghead:
