LEAK CASE NOTES IMPLICATE CHENEY, SAYS PROSECUTOR
THE US prosecutor in the CIA leak case has told a court his evidence will include a newspaper article with handwritten notes by the Vice-President, Dick Cheney, referring to Valerie Plame shortly before she was exposed as a CIA operative.Notes also prove that our sleepy, grumpy, dopey Big Dick is both sexist AND stupid: scribbling as if somehow wifey sending hubby on trippie would somehow disproves the arguments Wilson presented in the Op-Ed? Is Cheney insane?
The special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald said in the pre-trial filing on Friday that the notes showed Mr Cheney and his former chief-of-staff Lewis Libby were "acutely focused" on the July 6, 2003, article written by Ms Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, a Bush Administration critic and former US ambassador.
"Have they done this sort of thing before?" Mr Cheney wrote. "Send an amb[assador] to answer a question? Do we ordinarily send people out pro bono to work for us? Or did his wife send him on a junket?"
As if "junketing" off to third-world Niger were like vacationing in Nice? As if vacationing in Nice or Niger had anything to do with undercutting Wilson's evidence?
Feh. God save us from these stupid, evil people.
