Poll question: Since Plame had a "desk job" as a CIA agent, how about cartoon superheros?
Edited on Fri Jul-22-05 08:59 PM by zulchzulu
Whenever a Repuke says Plame just had a desk job, I refer to the fact that an undercover CIA agent doesn't neccesarily wear a James Bond outfit and talk into his wrist...

Imagine what the same logic would be used for superheroes and their secret identity...

On edit: Spiderman was not a bug scientist...

Peter Parker, an orphan who lives with his aunt and uncle, is on a high school class trip one day, when he is bitten by a genetically altered spider. Soon Peter is aware of amazing powers: he is as strong and agile as a spider and also has an ESP-like sense. Remembering something his Uncle Ben had told him, that "with great power, there must also come great responsibility," Peter decides to use his powers to fight evil. And so, Spiderman is born.

I changed the poll option...thanks to you! My bad!

4. Also, how could she have sent Wilson herself...
if she only had their idea of a "desk job"?



The Repubs need to make up their minds which lie to run with. They can't have it both ways.

6. Mr. Terrific was merely a gas station attendant named Stanley Beamish

and Captain Nice was a mama's boy named Carter Nash.

Although, they weren't really cartoons. They just acted like cartoons.
