My apologies, but the circumstances compel me to respond in a manner that may not perhaps be pleasing.

Which argument is that? I never said WH is not responsible for the leak. I stated two times that WH is indeed solely responsible and somebody needs to be punished. If you are reading my posts and listening to your beloved/despised Rush at the same time, perhaps you either need to stop reading or turn off the radio, because you are obviously confused.

You want someone’s head on a stick for this? I say, “Good hunting, but don’t expect any help from national media or Howard Dean on this one”.

My only mistake was saying that this scandal will be dropped very quickly; as it turns out, nobody even picked it up. Who cares about 56 dead people in London, when Dame Plame covert identity has been impugned upon?

Valerie’s KBE?  
I had _no_ idea.  
Does that mean that the queen can order Rove beheaded?

I’ll just let this one stand unanswered as a monument to its own colossal stupidity.

That would merit a great debate. Is the administration currently _more worried_ about their part in causing the 56-dead-in-London, or are they more worried about their culpablity in the Plame case.

Hmm?

Tough call.

I can’t read administration mind, but I can clearly see that most people outside administration worry about Plame case only. To entertain a cynical viewpoint, I suppose administration worries about things that may do it damage.

It’s just a red, bolded [opt]v in the ‘Impact’ font.  
Like this: **√**

I’m on a Mac. God only knows how the Friends of Bill W. generate the character.
