Not quite. May worked at the New York Times as Reporter and Foreign Correspondent; Founder and Chief of West Africa Bureau, The New York Times Sunday Magazine: Editor, Newsweek: Associate Editor for International News, KRMA-TV: Producer and Moderator, PBS: Reporter for Bill Moyers’ Journal, among other credentials including the National Review for which he currently writes.
Your link takes one straight to NewsMax. You knew that, right?
It takes you to a story at Newsmax.
The story cites Cliff May. Cliff May did not write the story. He is not a writer for Newsmax.
You should actually read the story and evaluate it before you respond, so I don’t have to keep wasting my time correcting your stupidity and careless misconceptions.
RTF:
I’ve been searching for stories of neighbors who were interviewed. All seem to mention only two neighbors Lefkowitz and Tillotson who didn’t know.
Two is hardly a sample.
I found another one from a member of her support group who didn’t know, the parents who did. May who did.
The papers saying the neighbors didn’t know seem to be basing this on the same two, but just two.
Do you find more?
Moron. (seems de riguer)
Mmmm, yes, in fact, no specific author is mentioned, simply the NewsMax staff, and a good portion of the text is (apparently) lifted from a Fox News interview.
Certainly sorts that out, I had the idea that these sources were devoted mouthpieces for tighty righty ideology, but it turns out it to be NewsMax and Fox News. Boy, is my face red!
Apparently even Plame didn’t know she was “covert” until she heard it from Woodward:
http://www.scrappleface.com/?p=2072
“In the months, and even years, leading up to July 2003, Valerie Plame was not behaving like someone who knew she was a covert agent,” said Mr. Fitzgerald. “The woman friends knew as Mrs. Joe Wilson seems to have learned of her undercover status at about the same time a reference to her appeared in Robert Novak’s syndicated column.”
The prosecutor said it may be a violation of federal law to reveal a CIA agent’s covert status to the agent."
heh. heh. heh.
Cute.
Neswmax finds four people (including May) who claim to have known:
Including the parents that’s 6 people who claim to have known.
Since Newsmax may be percieved by some to have a right-wing slant, in the interest of full disclosure I will also present Mediamatters’ (which some may percieve to have a left-wing slant) rebuttal of these personages.
Sure. And the number of people I’ve met who claimed to have been at Woodstock exceeds the number of people who were there by about two. Even at its strongest, such evidence is hearsay. Especially since by the time anybody asked them, they had a very good chance of knowing who’s partisan agenda their answer would support.
With all due awe: for whatever case, these testimonials aren’t worth serious consideration.
Are you sure “hearsay” is the word you want?
That’s an interesting point. Since they were asked after the fact, it is likely there answers will be influenced by their own personal agendas.
Is that correct?
What is this, some sort of pas de duh? Or course.
I assume you wrote “of course.”
You realize that logic also dismisses the two friends and neighbors who say they didn’t know?
Their agendas may to color their responses. We can assume than that if they are good friends and neighbors, than they wish the Plame’s well, and would not want to say things that would get them in trouble?
My conclusion remains that the issue of whether or not it was known is in dispute.
According to your standards and logic it is not knowable after the fact. RTFs claim that Rusman’s integrity can be impugned on the basis that this is a falsehood is thereby incorrect.
If I gave a rats about the whole Rustman/Johnson crapfest, I guess I would be kinda crushed.
:SNICKER:
Old news, already debunked with cites:
http://mediamatters.org/items/200511110011
BTW Cliff May nowhere says he was a neighbor or that he got the 2nd hand info from a neighbor. More BS.
How enlightening! Wonderful job! Your very smart!
Who let him out without his safety helmet?
Bha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa!!
The investigation unraveled then? Really, the only thing you showed was that the defense lawyers are the biggest nincompoops for letting that clear and convincing evidence go to waste for a couple of years… Nah, more likely the idea that “neigbors knew her status” or even that “Wilson blew her cover” remains hearsay and/or irrelevant.
Thank you for certifying your gullibility.
So, let’s see now, what’s Scylla got left?
Post-partum depression and what else?
crickets
Ya know, I’m not entirely sure. Its kind of like Scylla means to establish an unshakeable fact, without ever actually defining it, its a bunker that is also a moving target.
Besides, if he’s got post-partum depression, we’re talking some serious miracle here! Forget the Virgin Mary, she got nothing!
Hey, you were the one who said she couldn’t have served under Rustman in the 1980s because she would have had to do that in between classes at Penn State, even though now you agree that she graduated in 1985.
I can read; it seems you have the inability to read your own words.
My MIL has that problem: she’s got a blind spot right in the middle of her vison. I hope your case is more treatable than hers.
So, would either of these have prevented her from serving under Rustman in the 1980s?
Or this?
The question was, did she serve under Rustman for a year in the 1980s? You said that couldn’t have happened due to her classes at Penn State. We’ve dispensed with that. Is there some other reason that couldn’t have happened?
No, I’ve got a cite.
Happens to be effectively the same cite as for the Armitage leak. Both stories were broken via articles excerpted from the same book. Seems the book has some credibility here.
