Right Wing Talk Radio Is Spinning Like Crazy
Just heard about five minutes of some second rate Limbaugh wannabe while running errands (Glenn Beck?)...he's lying so furiously you can almost feel the spittle coming through the speakers...

Funniest thing was that HE compared it to Watergate...except in his Bizarroworld, Nixon was unjustly driven out of office because there weren't lying pinheads on AM radio defending the break-in and cover-up....(which by the way is horseshit...AM talk radio was screaming 24/7 back then about what a raw deal Tricky Dick was getting)...

That led to some sort of rant about Mary Mapes being just like Valerie Plame...

3. You ever hear 101.5...they suck too...
the people in the afternoon, the man-woman team, made some comment about people are only democrats until their 30, then they grow up. She professes to be a libertarian, but we all know better...

5. From What I've read........
they (Contard Radio) all are saying the same thing, just like you wrote. From what I heard on Al Franken by Lawrence O'Donnell(sp?) it sounds like they are going to lose this one.

7. It was pretty astonishing to hear
It basically was "Wahhh! they're attacking the fuehrer!"

The guy didn't even TRY to make his lies sound plausible...it was just attack attack attack....

6. 2:30 PM just got back-I heard Rush on it too
It seems there was an article in WaPo October 2003 saying the PLAME oputed the front company when she entered it (by law you have to ) as her employer on a $1,000 campaign contribution to Al Gore.

He even read the part about how this article made the outing WORSE but he spun it (tried to anyway) to make it seem like the LIBERAL Washington Post had reported that she had outed herself.

Yes Mr.Benchley they are spinning like a top.

9. Again...
Lots of people knew that she was Mrs. Wilson and that she worked for that employer....

What was classified was that she was a CIA agent and that her company was a CIA front, and that all its other employees were CIA agents, and that everybody they dealt with overseas was likely an informant or target....and that is what the White House leaked to Novak, Cooper, Miller AND gay male prostitute Jeff Gannon/Guckert... (and maybe others)...

14. They are trying to reverse time
and make things that came out after Novak's column seem like they came out before Novak's article.

8. If you think the wingnut radio
is spinning...check out the right wing blogs on the Daour Report
http://daoureport.salon.com/default.aspx on Salon. They've managed to convince themselves that Wilson's report was a lie...and how come an ambassador was married to a CIA agent??? Guess that is against the law.
The nice thing about the Daour report is you can keep from getting nauseated cause you can't get the whole gist by the header.

10. Remember, even Chimpy ADMITTED
the yellowcake report was a lie, just as Wilson said...remember all that furious spin blaming it on "British intelligence"?

"how come an ambassador was married to a CIA agent?"
Can't think of much better cover, actually...
