Quick notes on the latest Beltway feeding frenzy

For those of you interested in the intricacies of the Rove / Plame pseudo-scandal, Tom Maguire is doing fantastic work deconstructing arguments from both the left and right.  His secret?  Research.

There’s a lesson in there somewhere, but I’ll be damned if I can ferret it out.

For what it’s worth, my take on this whole affair can be summed up thusly:  I believe whatever Chuck Schumer doesn’t. Which, in addition to serving me well in this specific case also happens to be an excellent way to vet Supreme Court justices.  Kind of a bonus, that.

    Research?  What else do you want? Facts? Logic?  Consistency?  You sure ask an awful lot of folks…

  2. The Virginia Wolf says:

    What are Chuck’s thoughts on Natalee I wonder?  I need to know how to act.

  3. Wow, Jeff, you use Schumerology to make all your important decisions, too?

  4. Jeff Goldstein says:

    For years now.  No telling the time he’s saved me.

  5. B Moe says:

    Two questions are really bugging me about all this:

    1) How do so many people go from “We can’t prove it” to “It obviously never happened” without batting an eye.

    2) How much money did the bastard make on that book.

  6. There is a fair-sounding summary of this scandal’s particulars here, at my second favorite humor blog.

  7. Jim says:

    Ferret?  What happened to the armadillo?

  8. Timmer says:

    My problem with this is the same I had with Clinton.  They looked into the camera and lied to me.

    Don’t much care about the details of what makes a “covert” agent, that’s right up there with defining what is is.

  9. McGehee says:

    They looked into the camera and lied to me.

    What?

    Politicians lie?

    That’s never happened before in the entire history of the human race!!!
