Something about Armitage creeps me out. Always did, and I can't put my finger on it. His big confession he talked about Valerie Plame seems more like his wanting to join the pissing contest, in which he joins the ranks of slimes and blobs like Rove and Novak who are saying, "sure, we outed a covert CIA operative in a time of war, and sure it's a major federal offense, but we did it and we'll always get away with it because we're such powerful party members." I doubt he had much if any coaxing from anyone to step forward; indeed, it's a simple mind which incriminates itself for a felonious crime in such a public way. When it's so easy to say and do <I>nothing</I>, why would even the most feeble-minded person make such a loud announcement he wants to hang with bad apples? Solidarity, comrades.«—U®Anu§—»https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044248315262502099noreply@blogger.com
