Maher on the outing of Valerie Plame (transcript)

[mojogeorgo]

Valerie Plame was the CIA's operational officer in charge of counter-proliferation. Which means, she tracked loose nukes. So when Bush said, as he once did, that his absolute number one priority was preventing terrorists from getting loose nukes? Okay, that's what she worked on. That's what she devoted her life to, staying under cover for 20 years. Maintaining two identities every g*ddamn day. This is extraordinary service to your country! Valerie Plame was the kind of real-life secret agent George Bush dreams of being, when he's not too busy pretending to be a cowboy or a fighter pilot!

2. Yes, I thought that part of Maher's rants were fantastic.

I think he mentioned some details about Valerie that most people didn't really know. I loved it! The only thing I didn't like about his show last nite, was when he said that HILLARY should run her campaign on the platform of honesty. How about... who ever gets the nomination should run their...
I didn't like the way he assumed Hillary would get it, and it's no secret I hope she isn't our choice in the end.
