Is anyone tired of the Rove-Plame story yet? I mean seriously, what are we talking about here? A CIA analyist who was anything but covert, nepotism, a politically motivated op-ed farce, and the malcontents of Moveon, who don't have the sense to know that their strings are being pulled by an ultra-rich, economic rapist.
Mark Steyn sums up the situation pretty well in his latest offering.
What we have here is, in effect, the old standby plot of lame Hollywood conspiracy thrillers: rogue elements within the CIA attempting to destabilize the elected government. If the left's view of the world is now so insanely upside-down that that's the side they want to be on, good for them. But ''leaking'' the name of Wilson's wife and promoter within the CIA didn't ''endanger her life'' or ''compromise her mission.'' Au contraire, exposing the nature of this fraudulent, compromised mission might conceivably prevent the American people having their lives endangered.
I would disagree with Steyn on one small point. It would appear that Plame's "mission" was indeed "compromised." If this is the stuff that bad Hollywood movies are made of, Rove would have to be a cast as the protagonist and ultimately, the hero. Despite Hollywood's seeming obsession with never again having another original thought, i.e. Bewitched, Herbie: Fully Loaded, The Dukes of Hazzard, and The Bad News Bears, I think we can safely assume that "Yellowcake Joe" is one movie that we will never see.
