The Dumb Get DUMBER-ER!

Oh, John Podhoretz, will you never learn?

...based on conversations with non-political types, how many now believe that the publication of the name of any person working for the CIA is a felony. It isn't. There are tens of thousands of people in Washington who, if you meet them, will say, "I work for the CIA." And if you then tell your friend Mabel about that person, you haven't broken the law either.

Maybe that should be the law. It would simplify matters, even though such a law might conceivably run afoul of the First Amendment. If it were a law, there would be no doubt as to the guilt of about fifty people in this case. But then, it would also be the case that Valerie Plame Wilson's own husband would be guilty of that felony, having named her in his own online bio.


Except DUMBASS, Joe Wilson did not say in his bio that his wife Valerie "worked for the CIA", he merely stated he was married to the former Valerie Plame -- who to the world was an energy consultant for Brewster & Jennings -- which turned out to be a CIA front operation.

Your primal level of intellectual stupidity and/or dishonesty is stunning even by the non-standards of the intersection of Frivolity Street & Chicanery Avenue.
