...her name is not the fucking issue. Everyone that knew Joe Wilson personally knew that he had a wife. And most likely, they knew that her name was Valerie. Her neighbors saw her with her children. Their friends knew that Joe wasn't single. It wasn't who she is - it was what she did for a living that was the goddamn secret!!!

Let's try this a different way. Many people (family, friends, work colleagues etc.) know that I have a wife. Many have met her. Seen her. Spoken to her. You can find her name on our wedding registry. Or in any official filings from our marriage. But if her job was a secret then nobody would know what she did.

Get it yet? It is a simple fucking concept. Once more, in short sentences so you won't get overwhelmed by the many words that make up a full sentence.

Her name - not a secret.
The fact that Joe Wilson had a wife - not a secret.
Her existence - not a secret.
Her job - A FUCKING SECRET!!!!

1. Hey, she could have appeared on "Jeopardy".

It was the Republicans who exposed the nature of her job and blew her WMD operation for a cheap political hit. They are the ones who damaged national security.

The ability of the other side to bend rhetoric into the ideological flavor of the day never ceases to amaze me.

2. I KNOW! I can't Believe They Keep That Stupid "Point."

As if she went around with a bag over her head or something, LOL, of COURSE people knew there was a Valerie Plame, Mrs. Joe Wilson, they didn't know she was a covert operative, DUUUH!! God they're stupid....

3. More like willfully obtuse...

Coupled with their plain old hatefulness, it makes for a toxic brew.

4. You are right. By attempting

to keep the focus on that stupis point, they are simply avoiding discussing the real issues. That, of course, is what they have done all along -- for, indeed, the real issue was the lie about Niger yellow cake, not about the Wilsons.

The republicans are rather desperate on this .... there is no other reason for bringing out Bob Novak as an "expert" on the case.

5. I used to believe that the RW nuts were guilty only of being

stupid. However, I've come to believe that they know exactly what they are doing, in which case, shows them to be greedy, avaricious and mean as hell. They are committing premeditated crimes against the people of the U.S. and others around the world.
