Today's creepiest dumbfuck in the GOP award goes to DeLay on Rovegate
Edited on Wed Jul-13-05 08:15 PM by LiviaOlivia
Delay - Plame wasn't Covert Agent Because She Drove Back and Forth To Langley

My transcript follows, paraphrased but pretty much verbatim, between Shepard Smith and Tom Delay on Studio B. However, the funniest explanation (after blaming the media, Joe Wilson, the Democrats and others) was that Valerie Plame wasn't a covert agent because she drove in and out of Langley.

~snip~

SS: If there were a leak of this kind, hypothetically speaking, if someone leaked the name of a CIA operative, the president said before that if someone in his White House did that, that person should be fired. And that's......(words overtalked by Delay)

TD: If they broke the law. (No, no, no, again the president said what Smith said - a leaker in the White House) The law specifically says that the CIA operative, they're trained to keep them covert. That means usually they're overseas (it does?), they're not working out of Langley (they're not?) driving in and out of the gate, they are truly undercover, and you leak it, you're breaking the law. That wasn't the case. That wasn't the case here. Ms. Plame was working at Langley, coming and going quite obvious she was working for the CIA and this...uh...er..this...there may be other's who leaked...uh...we'll find out when the investigation is over.

SS: Congressman, (some discussion about the weather) good to see you.

TD: Thank you, Shepard.

SS: Alright.

2. If that video clip of that speech is any indication...
He is more than "On The Sauce", he's got Everclear in an automated, wearable infusion device, pumping into his femoral artery.

4. His drunkenness doesn't let him off the hook.
He's still accountable and will pay for his corruption.

5. Brewster Jennings.
Did she or did she not work for CIA front company Brewster Jennings? Did she or did she not have an official cover? This is the only question that needs to be asked, and from my understanding the answer is yes.

6. At least the interviewer didn't let him get by with it
It sounds like he lit into DeLay with righteous anger and...talked about the weather.
