I like how the Republicans are saying - Valerie Plame really wasn't an

undercover agent because she donated money to Al Gore. Gee did she disclose on her FEC form that she is an Undercover Operative for the CIA?

1. That's the new "frame" --because she had a desk job, she wasn't

an undercover agent. These guys have cartoon minds: if Plame wasnt' skulking around in a trenchcoat in a foreign city, she wasn't undercover. I think it's the CIA who determine who's undercover, not Rethug mouthpieces.

2. Hateful republicans should read this

and then they should shut the hell up.

She went without cover, the most dangerous undercover

And in naming her husband, that bastard most certainly DID use her name. She is legally entitled to that name, that name is by law linked to her, her husband. HER name. She was most surely specifically identified in the naming of her husband, with the married relationship specifically stated. Not to mention her agency being stated as well.

He just used a "different" name. It's a falsehood for him to say he didn't NAME her. A flat out lie.

A name that uniquely identifies an individual, is legally part of their identity, SURELY that is a name.

What else can it be? What else was the name WILSON good for then, was it NOT a name? What, a label? A rumor? An alias? NO. I don't think so. He named WILSON. He named HER.

3. Other republican exceptions:

The constitution doesn't really protect free speech, it just insures it, and all they're doing is raising our deductible with the patriot act.

In order for a violent act to be torture, there must be a lack of menu options. For example, if you were placed on a "rack" inside Chili's, not torture. If placed on the rack in the parking lot, we're looking at torture.

Since we lied to you about this war, and now we're encouraging our millitary recruiters to lie to prospective troops, we are instigating a strong policy of truth by appliing double negatives to the policy as a whole.
