The Eternal Plame; finally dimming.

So Karl Rove isn’t going to be indicted over the stupid Valerie Plame name leaking issue. The left is all in a tizzy because somehow they insist that this is a big deal and somehow put in danger the life of every CIA agent in the world.

Well – I've got some news for them. First of all, this was just about the biggest to do over nothing anyone could imagine. Want some bigger news? If you think more than 10% of the public even knows who Karl Rove is your crazy. Want to know the biggest news of all? If you think that anyone is going to believe for a minute that the left was interested in this case because Plame being outed as CIA supposedly put agents lives in jeopardy, your nuts! It was partisan idiocy from day one and anyone could see it, that is anyone who even knew who any of these people are. Those who did know the characters, knew that Plame, recommended her husband Joe Wilson to write a report on the so-called Niger Yellow cake connection. Plame had to know that her husband was totally unqualified for this job and brought a hardly impartial view to the issue. By his own admission Wilson is an avid liberal who wants Bush destroyed. By his own admission he did little but sit in the hotel lobby, drink tea and interview people. When that got to tough he simply made stuff up, as was shown later in his inconsistent (and that’s being charitable) congressional testimony.
So hopefully this idiocy is ending. Valerie Plames brief moment of fame will have ended and she will be remembered for her final actions and judgment. I doubt history will be kind if it remembers her at all. Her judgment was appalling. She sent someone to write a nonsense report in order that she could affect foreign policy. If anyone put lives at risk it was her, through that action. Thank god whatever bit of time all of us are forced to spend with her is coming to an end.
