Hey Bob Novak, Karma is a Bitch

[nodding in agreement]

Excellent post, Larry. I especially like your closing paragraph!

Robert Novak’s brain tumor must have been affecting his thinking for years. That’s about as charitable as I can muster for that schmuck.

Um, how many years exactly do we need to go back to find the Bob Novak who was not a sold-out highly partisan hack just passing on GOP talking points?

the concept of right versus wrong seems lost in the United States. Soon we will be subject to Islam and Sharia law, just like the UK.

What I never really understood was how Novak could maintian his access to the power base of Washington.

I guess, he had to be considered a megaphone for trial ballon leaks and it got out of hand with Valarie.

Some how he had to understand that he was being played like a fiddle and he did it for the money.

When I was younger I really thought Washington was a neat place, took my kids to the Capitol, the mall and the White House.

Some how the luster has diminshed and now I think of it as a Den of Ill Repute. I would not think of taking my grandchildren there with the same enthusiam.

People like Novak contributed to the demise if the image.

Every time I think about Valerie Wilson, I can’t escape the truly despicable nature of what the chimp and his boys did. All during the build up to the IRAQ war people were asking McFlightsuit to show us some of the intel that showed Saddam having WMD. Without so much as a hint of hesitation, Chimpy would retort with I can’t because I have to protect sources and methods. It became a montra to him. he tuely enjoyed saying it.

Valerie Wilson was a source and a method. The chimp felt he needed to protect her when he needed to protect his sorry ass. Revealing sources and methods would have revealed the truth about Bush administration intel mining and would have left the nation suffering from a collective yawn rather then a desperate need to take saddam out now.

Bush outed her for the same reason, to protect his sorry ass. Suddenly they had someone credible (Joe Wilson) out on the tube saying that the chimp wasn’t being honest. So the sources and methods the chimp was protecting to save his sorry had to be destroyed to, you guessed it, save his sorry ass. George Bush compromised our national security to save his sorry ass. There is no denying it.

So what do you make of this?

‘Yellowcake’ found in Iraq

According to the report, a large stockpile of concentrated natural Uranium, known as “yellowcake,” reached a Canadian port to complete a top secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad, and a ship voyage crossing two oceans. The Uranium material had been housed at a former Iraqi nuclear complex 12 miles from Baghdad.

Unbelievable how petty these journos can be. I was thinking today how seldom we hear anything about “the president” anymore. He’s buying a house, that’s the big scoop on him.

In a time when up is down, down is up, and 2+2=5, Bob Novak is a pustulant example of just how far astray the fourth estate has roamed. To not see in hindsight, let alone at the time, that exposing Valerie Plame Wilson put our national security and intelligence assets at risk, was motivated solely by partisanship, and was lacking in anything remotely resembling journalistic integrity…I’m rendered virtually speechless…except to say that the cancer is not only metastasized in Novak’s brain, it has rotted American journalism to its core.

This is compounded by the fact that it was the White House that leaked the information to Novak. Since America has elected Bush III, whom we know will dispose of anyone who no longer serves his purpose, or whom he sees as a liability, I think it’s safe to assume that we can expect our next President to also be willing to compromise our national security if it is to his benefit. If I were approached by the Office of the President-Select to head CIA, I’d run as far and as fast as possible in the other direction.

A number of other journalists also knew and didn’t print it.
Bob Novak knows his dishonorable action will forever taint his memory. He will die unmourned, and that knowledge is tormenting his last days.

Wow, what a hateful post, especially the line about his cancer eating his brain. Makes you like a, well, blogger.

Here’s what I make of it, copied from Larry’s article above.

Joe Wilson’s findings were consistent with what the true intelligence professionals believed–the Iraq had not tried to buy new quantities of uranium because they already had 500 tons they could not process.

You think we should have just left it there?

Hey Bob Novak, Karma is a Bitch

So by this we are supposed to smirk with satisfaction at the suggestion that Novak deserves brain cancer?

I find this title “Hey Bob Novak, Karma is a Bitch” disgusting and in very poor taste.

It is the equivalent to saying Ted Kennedy deserves brain cancer for drowning a woman (which he did do) and that his liberalism was caused by a brain tumor. Now that is so not even funny.

“Hey Ted Karma is a bitch” and all those dead Kennedy’s like JFK juniors mishap was payback I suppose. I would never say such a thing. I only did to make a point. You can be provocative without sounding like spiteful insensitive loon.

Here is another example: Hey how about some trig Palin Jokes? I heard the kid is a real tard. Yuk Yuk. A real knee slapper. NOT.

So he still will not admit that he was wrong — and it seems like he will keep denying any wrong doing.

I have a friend who early in her career as a police officer (in the Caribbean) took an undercover assignment on other island. The dope business is smaller than was anticipated by her superior officers and someone from her home island came to the place where she was working undercover. She was recognized and called by her real name — she looked at the person puzzled (who you taking to buddy — look on her face). She walked out (escaped) and called for removal. That was a very tense situation and she could have been eliminated.

My friend said that whole being outted and escaping replayed over and over again when she heard about Valerie Plame being outted by Novak. Hearing her tell this story — gave me a deeper understanding of Novak’s crime.

The fact that Novak brings up his outing Plame tells me that this sin will eat away at his brain cells and keep moving until it is his last memory. The brain must use up a whole lot of space to keep track of lies (that’s my theory, anyway).

Is it wrong to think that this nasty, self centered, little man will not be missed?

Okay, I am kinda clueless about this espionage stuff, but I did try to follow the Valerie Plame story, and the Wilsons are among my few heroes. My question is this: Robert Novak outed Valerie Plame, and in so doing also revealed the name of “Brewster-Jennings,” the front company for which she “worked.” Was this the main damage? I assume that other CIA operatives “worked” for Brewster-Jennings, and that they were all compromised simultaneously. Is this what happened? There is an article about this in Wikipedia, so it can’t be very “sensitive” anymore. If this is the case, then Novak’s culpability is far beyond that of compromising just Valerie Plame.

WOW!!!! I hope I never piss larry off. But his venom is aimed in exactly the right direction. Shame on you NOVAK.

Hateful post?

Please spare me the faux moral outrage there Ace. The fact of the matter is that Bob Novak is a narcissistic ass. Even sick with cancer, old Bob is not reflecting on his life, including owning up to mistakes. Instead, he is having a little pity party for himself. Sorry, but I did not mourn Tim Russert’s passing and I will not be mourning Bob Novak’s. In this town Bob Novak took pride in his name “the dark prince”. This is the same guy who not more that 5 months ago ran over a guy in a crosswalk in D.C., and only stopped some 2 blocks down when a bicyclist who saw the accident blocked his path of escape. This guy has made a very tidy some for himself stirring up crap!

Ask yourself there Ace how many men and women in foreign countries, who were aiding Valerie and other covert operatives, are now dead because Bob not only blew Valerie’s cover but the CIA front company of Brewster Jennings? How many folks are still walking around with a bullseye on their backs thanks to Bob Novak?!!

Ace? Your tag is Ace? I think Dunce is more like it!!

Bob really needs to take responsibility for the Plame outing. It’s bad to die without making amends and asking forgiveness.

DUST TO DUST, THE END.

The Robert Novak story is just a sad awful tale. Outing Valerie Plame was such a mistake, such a horrible and traitorous act that one could only hope it was the brain cancer affecting his thinking at that time instead of the hate and sucking up to power that it appears to have been.

Never mind it was one of very few IF any Ops involving Iranian WMD, Novak phst!

All those who had a part in this need life behind bars, in my humble opinion.

He should have served a prison term at the least.

He’s a sad case. Karma indeed.

And (probably) if there is to be justice down the road, they’ll have a new roadblock because Novak won’t be there to testify. Not that he’d tell the truth if he did.

“Protecting officers like Valerie Plame Wilson is not about left versus right. It is about right versus wrong.”

Exactly!

The CIA pleaded with Novack not to release the info. Novack has been a Washington DC insider for years. People do leak classified info. Novack knows this. He also knows what should be revealed and what should not.
Novack is too experienced to plead ignorance.

His lack of repentance is based on being angry at those evil leftists that attacked him. Notice he does not care that an entire network (that might have stopped the attack in India) was destroyed.

He also does not care that it affected our national security.

So Novack doesn’t like the left or the Wilsons. Fine. But doesn’t he care about the safety of his fellow Americans or our allies? Evidently he doesn’t even with death staring him in the face.

how many men and women in foreign countries, who were aiding Valerie and other covert operatives, are now dead because Bob not only blew Valerie’s cover but the CIA front company of Brewster Jennings?

Eurogirl70, you seem to have some perspective on this. We don’t really know how much damage Bob Novak did, do we? The reports on the actual damage would also be classified, right? If others connected with Brewster Jennings were imprisoned or killed because of his leak, we would not know about it, right? We can only surmise, correct? I shudder to think what the actual damage might have been.

Larry, I agree that Novak is unpatriotic and obviously sold whatever dignity he had to play politics to please Cheney, but I bringing out the brain tumor was not necessary. Those who know the story understand that life has a way of balancing one’s actions.

Sounds like Novak is spiteful in his I don’t care anymore attitude. His reputation shall so be burnished.

Did anyone EVER think she was NOT an agent? I mean, come on! Wife of the ambassador, owner of many fabulous pairs of sunglasses and trench coats, ducking in and out, asking questions that go well beyond food prep and domestic help…Seriously, aren’t 90% of the people in the embassies agents? Or at the very minimum, assumed to be agents?

With all due respect, I never bought it when this case first came up–it’s all some kind of distraction for the public. What Iraqi in their right mind would NOT have assumed she was a spy?

She wasn’t (at the time of her outing) attached to an embassy. She also ran with various alternate IDs which would have had nothing to do with her husband Joe Wilson. She worked for a company that got outed when she did (and therefore many people attached to it) and our capacity to track WMDs in the hands of bad guys suffered with it.

As a matter of fact, many women from my generation do remember Ted Kennedy as simply a man who left a woman to die at the bottom of a river. Not to say that everytime bad luck befalls someone that it is because they deserved it. However, I do believe that when someone deliberately does harm to another there will be a price to pay. Karma.

This is the same guy who not more that 5 months ago ran over a guy in a crosswalk in D.C., and only stopped some 2 blocks down when a bicyclist who saw the accident blocked his path of escape.

That’s just sad, I mean, that is just sad.

The whole crew just seemed upside down in reality, didn’t they?

From Cheney, to Novak, to Scooter, to Powell, to Bush, to Rumsfeld, and so on.

Their collective anxiety upon leaving Washington must be unbearable — who will protect them, now?

“…He was asked if he would out Valerie if he had it to do all over again. Novak said:

I’d go full speed ahead because of the hateful and beastly way in which my left-wing critics in the press and Congress tried to make a political affair out of it and tried to ruin me….”

So…..is he saying he would out Valerie Plame all over again out of spite against the people who criticized him for doing so? NOT because he thinks it’s the right thing to do, blah, blah, blah. But because he despises the critics. Uh, ok. Great moral character there, buddy.

Oh, No! are you going to blame that poor tumor?

Did his “outing” of Plame constitute a crime? Just asking cause it seems as if it should have. Wonder why no charges were ever brought against him.

Great post LJ.

Hey, thanks for the info. I did not realize the embassy connection came later.

I still do wonder how any agent completely escapes suspicion, even when they are ‘covered’ by companies and job titles. Don’t the bad guys suspect just about everybody?

And when someone is outed, does that mean everyone ever associated with them is automatically assumed to be in on the game? I thought agents could have a cover even with their colleagues and daily contacts.

Years ago, I refused to let an acquaintance spend the night at my apartment. He left me with this platitude: ‘What goes around comes around.’ I had no idea what he meant.

Months later, he broke into the basement and entered the apartment through an unsecured trap door in the floor of a storage closet, and waited. I got home, dropped my things, and settled in to read the newspaper. He jumped out of nowhere and attacked me with a knife. Luckily, I escaped; detectives later told me, a previous victim had not.

Whenever I hear someone ascribe cosmic payback to personal tragedy, I think, what gives you the right to judge what burdens someone deserves to bear?

GOES TO SHOW YA. You don’t get away with anything.
He sounds like he’s an incorrigible drunk. He is dying and cannot admit the harm he has caused others. Pathetic. Who will be at the gates of hell waiting for him? His conscience is hurting him sooo bad it’s eating his brain via cancer. He sold his soul to the devil for money and status. He won’t repent and come clean. He needs to apologize or be damned.
So much fraud and lack of morals or ethics in people these days. It will come back to them.
Novak’s brain cancer says it all.

Go bitterly into that good night, Bob, and take Libby with you.

Moral of that story: secure your doors and windows..and trap doors

Ted Kennedy as simply a man who left a woman to die at the bottom of a river.

Beautiful, smart Mary Jo Kopechne, was inpregnated by Ted Kennedy, so he staged an accident and left her in the water to drown. Ted’s Mafiosa dad, Joe, bought off the judge. Mary Jo’s Life cut down before she begun to live. A debutante wasted by an over-privileged dude who roams the halls of congress for years now. I just see him as a murderer who didn’t pay for his crime.

Ahem, I guess we need to get a leetle more specific and creative with our noms de blog, as you are not me and I am not you. Thoughts?

Hey Anne, you go first in resolving the name conflict. I’ve been here for a year and you might not appreciate what I have said in your name.

From the earlier Anne –

Recall how graciously Lee Atwater died and how he reflected and recanted as he neared his own death? Not so apparently with Bob Novak. True Prince of Darkness.

my salve during that time: attempted song plagery but I admit nothing…
Cheney and Libby

(adapting the “Pancho and Lefty” framework)

Living with this rap my friend
Is gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear your *’role* like chains
Your words bought as your freedom’s been
Weren’t this Admin’s only boy
But least favorite one it seems
VEEP began to cry, though you swore your lies
Might sink unitary dreams

Cheney was a bandit VEEP
His stealth was quick; words never real
Wore his gun outside his vest
For all his hunting friends to feel
Cheney meets his match someday
In the courtrooms in The Hague
Nobody hears his pleading words
That’s the way it goes…
With ex-politicos

All the congressales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him hang around
Out of dumbness I suppose

Libby he can’t jerk “The News”
All night long like he used to
The dust Cheney blew up Fitz’s south
Ended up in Libby’s mouth
The day they let ol’ Cheney go
Libby split for Ri-i-o
Where he got the bread to go
Only the RNC, FoC ‘n’ FoB know

All the congressales say
We’d should not let him get away
His coup might be forgotten someday
‘Cause that’s how history goes

The pundits tell how Cheney fell
Libby’s livin’ in a swank hotel
The homeland’s quiet and all is well
So the story ends to tell
That Cheney needs your prayers it’s true,
But save a few for Libby too
He just did what he was told to do
Now he lives in hell

A few brave congressales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him go so wrong
Out of spinelessness I suppose

Bob was a big booster of Sarah and her ascent to lead the true Americans.

OFF TOPIC:

We’ve stumbled on something that may be used for Obama’s defense should the US Supreme Court take on the Denofrio case.

Holy Cow, Anne! What an original name we each carry. How’s about from now on I shall call myself Reno Annie?

Cool, and I shall rename myself Texan Anne.

Or how about TexANNE (ba-dum-CHING!)?

Which judge was paid off (there were a couple of different judges involved at various times from the initial charges until the final investigation), and how do you know this for a FACT? Joe Kennedy died in Nov 1969 and had suffered a disabling stroke in the early 1960s. Kopechne’s family opposed an exhumation request made in October 1969, and the formal inquest into Kopechne’s death didn’t take place until January 1970–2 MONTHS AFTER Joe Kennedy’s death.
Joe’s date of death is a FACT. The date of the inquest is a FACT. Unless Joe Kennedy became a member of the living dead, it’s pretty damned impossible for him to have affected the inquest (much less “paid off the judge”).

Only if we were living in a just world.

SHORT CHRISTMAS POEM FOR NOVAK

May that c*******er rot in Hell.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!

There are several examples one can find that reveal dual allegiance issues within the Bush administration and show cause for concern regarding Sarah’s article that we need to loosen Article II as she suggests: these include recommendations made by John Woo, Alberto Gonzales and Zalmay Khalilzad that are against our Constitution.

The issue is with the President’s dual allegiances, but I submit that the past president had persons high in his administration that had dual allegiences and it affected his policy, IMHO. To have the president with these same issues will be horrific to our Constitution and standing with other countries from a practical standpoint. Just review the impact that the previous mentioned citizens with dual loyalties have had upon our judicial system, our torture policy and our Iraq policy.

We must protect our Constitution and our sovereignty, don’t you think, regardless of party affiliation?

This needs to be it’s own thread.

Is America about to be screwed and belittled by the SCOTUS over Obama?

YUCK!

that’ll work too. Adopted.

after 2000 when all the “strict constructionist” judges decided to shit can the processes strictly constructed in the US constitution, it’s highly probable.

Shame on you, Winston.

Although you claim not to usually say those things, you do promote them by lustily repeating them. Why else would you think to post the disgusting “joke”, without any relevance to the topic??

Larry, on the other hand, is making a clear point about Bob Novak’s unacceptable behaviour, who has caused severe damage to a friend of his and the entire Intelligence community, many of whom put their lifes on the line for our security even without being exposed by people like Novak, Scooter Libby and probably Cheney and/or Rove. Whether Novak’s behaviour is caused by brain tumor, I do not know.

I shouldn’t laugh at that, Baba. But I just did!

From a post on TD’s blog that related the issues with an Obama presidency to this,I have to share.
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=665847

OMG I’m crying I’m laughing so hard

No offense but I wouldn’t listen to that rant. I know everyone has opinions on what is going on but I don’t think the one posted at PUMA Pac has anything to do with reality. The bottom line is this…one way or another FRAUDbama is going to have to show his documentation. The patriots of this country, who love America and the Constitution, will just continue to file lawsuits in every state in this country and present them to SCOTUS until once and for all it is dealt with. My big dear is that the justices are on the Soros payroll. Even thinking that makes me shudder. That’s the end of this country for good. But it they ignore this issue they should be removed from the bench.

Larry Johnson kicking a man while he’s down, turning the knife in his back and combating evil with evil. A true Democrat.

Actually, I think her embassy work came earlier.

It’s likely that a paranoid regime like Saddam’s would suspect any foreigner, but that’s what helps to maintain cover: everyone is suspect and it’s difficult to watch them all all of the time.

The damage report was never made public, so we can only assume from common sense and other cases that it made life difficult for people who may not have even known who or what she did.

It’s the issue of her face being plastered in the media. Once that happened, foreign intelligence services would try to figure out what covers she used in their countries and track down anyone who ever had contact with her. And you can bet some of those people (even the innocent ones) were imprisoned and tortured.

Agreed.

If Valerie Wilson felt like she had been “kicked in the gut”, it was only because she was well aware of the damage it caused.

These were treasonous acts committed by seditious people with blood on their hands.

who will protect them, now?

BO will.

Do you really think the UK is subject to Sharia law? It is not.

Novak always was an evil bastard and he’s getting what he deserved.

buh-bye bobby

Novak essentially outed Valerie Plame Wilson before disclosing her actual capacity. He mentioned “others close” to different people in the conversation about yellowcake, “wives or husbands,” etc.

People who really watched up and ran search engines off what was said suddenly found reason to consider Valerie without her having been named. He basically filled in all of her background.

Hoirse hockey. If Kennedy impregnated the help he would have done a Dubya and footed the bill for her abortion in Mexico.

Seriously, I’ve never known Novak to be anything but a ruthless partisan piece of crap.

If Larry really believes he was once a journalist. I challenge him to give us a link!

Novak’s lawyer worked with Alexander Strategy Group.

Enron money, war profiteers, Marianna Junkets, laundering money from Russia, representing major contracting firms who dealt in torture to help lie the war forward. They also did work for Freddie Mac….

He was also counsel to Foster, and a former Watergate assistant chief counsel for Senate.
He’s one of the premiere lawyers in the country.

I have to agree. He has been doing that for years, although the Plame outing still shocks me. For all he knows people may have died because of his revelation. The CIA won’t say.

So much for his pretending to be a rancher! Bush only bought his Crawford place when he decided to run for president but our media neglects to point that out, giving the public the impression that he is really a man of the people. Heck, he can’t even ride a horse.

yeah he should have hit him with his car and took off. /snark

I also hope I never piss Larry off. . .

Novak deserves this rant and so does the damned Bush administration for politicizing every possible aspect of the government. Cheney, Rove, Gonzales, etc. etc.

Disagree for several reasons. For one: it is Karl Rove that Joseph Wilson wanted to see frog marched out of the White House. Instead, writers on this website are posting stories praising Karl Rove these days for his pundit work on tv!

Another self-important A Hole who had his cell phone on his ear 24/7 and got his brains zapped by perpetual low-level microwaves. It’s not like science isn’t warning people that overuse is suspected brain tumor material. The studies are still on, and there are no better guinea pigs than guys like this. Contratulations, Bob, you gave it up for science!

Eventually all of these A Holes will die from their own Importance. Now THAT’s karma.

Anyone who used to do stuff like gouge out the eyes of children in front of their parents while sitting on hundreds of tons of yellow cake should very well have been paranoid.

Still, I’m sorry Novak was so selfish as to risk injury to others by outing her. It all comes down to fame, ratings, and that almighty dollar, principles be damned.

I don’t know.

They might not end up in court, (or, again, they might) but the daggers are out, the heat is on.

BO seems somewhat contemptible toward Cheney, and Bush.

I think the lil engine that couldn’t, the neocons, can’t get out of their anxiety driven heads.

It’s treason.

Does betraying your country have any stigma attached to it, at all?

A treasonous government, or a government that tolerates treason, cannot survive.

Especially when it comes from the executive.

The more I see, the more I think the accruement of power has absolutely NOTHING to do with intellect, simply a willingness to break the law before the others.

They grab power, but after their 15 minutes, they fade away, they fail, unable to sustain because they’re simply not smart enough.

The whole Nixon-Cheney thing, and those connected with them, are laughable pests, in the greater scheme of things.

I think he’s a despicable cretin, a war criminal, and really not too bright.

Look at the consequences of his decisions, same as Cheney…

LOL, yes, you’re right…

Yeah well karma’s a bitch for Ted too. I don’t like him anymore than I like Novak. The hypocrite.

THe UK has passed laws to allow some Sharia. I am pleased that the UK is so dumb about all of this. They will end up being the example for the wake up call in the rest of the western world.

I also think it would be karma if Teddy’s last lucid moment is spent seeing Mary Jo standing in front of him waiting to kick his ass downstairs. The killer.

He’s learning! Next we’ll get him a picture of Harry Truman and teach him the Democratic Ritual post-Electoral Apologia dating back to Adlai Stevenson: “We Wuz ROBBED!!!”

“If God did not want them shorn, He would not have made them sheep!” – Eli Wallach, The Magnificent Seven

LOL Macho George is afraid of horses.

they a scare him.

Bob Novak is lucky he could pull strings so that he’s not dealing with his brain tumor from a cell, where the treasonous SOB belongs.

You want to talk unfeeling? This is unfeeling.

The first sign that I was in trouble came July 23, when my 2004 black Corvette struck a pedestrian on 18th Street while I was on my way to my office downtown.

I did not realize I had hit anyone until a young man on a bicycle, who I thought was a bicycle messenger, jumped in front of my car to block the way. In fact, he was David A. Bono, a partner in the high-end law firm Harkins Cunningham. He shouted at me that I could not just hit people and drive away. Bono called the police, and an officer soon arrived.

While Bono and other bystanders were taking on aspects of a mob, shouting “hit-and-run,” the investigating officer listened to me about what had happened and issued a right-of-way infraction against me, instead of a hit-and-run violation, which would have been a felony. Following his instructions, I promptly paid the $50 fine at 3rd District police headquarters.

The person I hit, identified by police as Don, with no fixed address, was taken to George Washington University Hospital. A D.C. fire department spokesman said there were “no visible injuries.”

Translation: the person I hit was a useless homeless person not of significance like an important person like me is. That’s why I managed to get myself a $50 Right Of Way ticket instead of being charge with a Hit and Run.

Let me ask a question of the group – Why does Richard Armitage get a free pass? Larry? Anyone? Bueller?

Damn, that’s cold.

Seems like Larry is making a career out of wishing ill health on those he disagrees with politically. Wasn’t it just last week that he was wishing a stroke on Attorney General Michael Mukasey? And now, he is absolutely gleeful over Robert Novak’s cancer? Why? Because Novak reported on Plame? I wonder if Larry has the same problem with the clown at the New York Times that has had no problem releasing the name of a truely covert agent who had been in Iraq, along with that agent’s address and the type of car he drove.

I guess Larry is just upset because Val and Joe lost their civil case. Or maybe because Larry, being so close to Val, knew that it was that oh, so honorable man, Richard Armitage, that actually gave Novak Plame’s name. Perhaps Valerie should have been smart enough not to list her “shadow” company when she donated to John Kerry’s campaign. How’s that whole VIP thing about trying to get active CIA members to leak sensitive material to create problems for George Bush going?

And now, for a trip to the way back machine where Larry showed us his Plame Game expertise:

The first part of his article:

“Judging from news reports and the portrayla of villains in our popular entertainment, Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to think that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.

None of these beliefs are based in fact.”

Now for the last paragraph of Larry’s most insightful article:

“I hope for a world where facts, not fiction, determine our policy. While terrorism is not vanquished, in a world where thousands of nuclar warheads are still aimed across the continents, terrorism is not the biggest security challange confronting the United States, and it should not be portrayed that way.

Written by Larry Johnson on July 10, 2001, two months and one day before those Islamic terrorist flew planes, not nuclear war heads, into the World Trade Center killing almost 3,000 Americans.

So Larry, you were wrong then, you are wrong now in being joyful over another American’s bout with cancer. Not that I ever expect you to admit it.

He Wilson, here’s a suggestion: if you are so appalled by the commentary of the site’s owner, why don’t you go elsewhere to protect your delicate nature? Novak didn’t seem to be too concerned with Valeria Plame’s health, so you’ll have to forgive Larry if he doesn’t feel all warm and fuzzy about the man who STILL refuses to accept any responsibility for jeopardizing his friend and colleague’s life.

Obama SHOULD not be let off. There are excellent reasons for forbidding dual allegencies as stated by the founding fathers.

If you go to Atlas Shrugs and search for “Kenya Killing Field” starting in January this year, you will find horrific atrocities (war crimes) committed by Obama’s cousin Raila Odinga.

However, Pelosi, Reid, Biden helped Obama “bribe” Kofi Annon to help install Cousin Raila as Krnya’s “Excutive Prime Minister”. Kofi did all this good work for $48 Billion dollars of American Taxpayer money – in the Orwellian named “Global Poverty” Bill all which went to Aftican countries.

If Obama had single allegencience to the US, “We the People” would not have to pay billions to put a criminal thug inpower, abd instead would have transported him to the Hague where he should have gone IMHO.
