The Spy Who Loved Him -- Dowd

[Khephra]

It was like a movie scene. But instead of meeting cute, they met covert.

Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson both happened to alight in Washington, their jet-set schedules intersecting, and spotted each other across a cocktail party filled with foreigners.

"I saw this striking blonde," he recalled, still sounding smitten six years later. At first she said she was an energy analyst, but confided sometime around the first kiss that she was in the C.I.A. "I had a security clearance," grinned Mr. Wilson, then a political adviser to the commander of U.S. forces in Europe.

Now Washington is consumed with the saga of how the glamorous C.I.A. officer and the dashing California surfer-turned-ambassador went from wedding cake to yellowcake.

2. Makes it hard to hold a grudge against MoDo

when she keeps putting out good articles like this one. I suppose I'll have to forgive her anti-Gore fixation one of these days.

6. I don't think I can ever forgive her

look at the price being paid because people like her whored instead of doing their jobs. How about the soldiers in Iraq, for example. I can't forgive her.

3. Karl Rove goes to church??? And the building doesn't implode from...

...the vacuum created by his evil? Wow. It must be a helluva church.

5. Haven't you heard? All the Bush cabal are 'good men'

Good, decent church-going men. God's on their side, just ask 'em! They pray every day. Dubya underwent intense Bible study, although he can't exactly remember where in the Bible they read, but it was intense, let me tell ya!

4. MoDo

I'm the lucky one who never saw the anti-Gore articles. He is my man. However, since I started reading her quips on DU, she has gunned down the cabal with clever words, irony and parody. Right now I'd say she is making the Bushies sweat on a weekly basis. Go Mo.
