Victoria Toensing is soooo screwed - media whore under oath
This is going to be so good. When she testifies under oath at Waxman's hearing.

Vicky, how did you happen to write that op-ed?

Did you approach the Post or did the Post approach you?

Was a third party involved?

Were you paid any money to write that op-ed?

And how do you know so much about Plames's covert work?



I can't wait.

5. She'll dissemble and pontificate.
She'll be treated by the right as an 'expert' witness and will merely (1) state her opinion and (2) make allegations that can only be disproven if the CIA were to disclose classified information.

It's in the latter that these reichbots are most sleazy ... making allegations based on the absence of CIA disclosure of classified information knowing full well that only by the CIA violating national security can their baseless allegations be shown for the lies they are. It's a despicable and corrupt posture, imho.

10. I don't know if she will be able to dissemble and pontificate herself out of this one
She will be under oath and it doesn't look like the Dems are in any mood to cut any slack here today. You may be right but I am skeptical.

15. It seems the only way she uses her legal training is to cover herself in ...
Edited on Fri Mar-16-07 10:55 AM by TahitiNut
... slime that allows her to evade and avoid technical guilt of perjury, libel, or slander. By characterizing her remarks as her "opinions" and then using the semantics of allegations she narrowly evades liability. For example, her constantly repeated assertion that is "helped write" the IIPA is a long-dead horse that still attracts the parimutual wagers of the reich - as she pontificates a "legal opinion" that law wasn't broken. No sane person in possession of the public facts could agree - but that doesn't stop the reichbots.

Her and her husband (Joe de Geneova) are so abjectly absent any ethical allegiance to an unbiased truth that it's hard to regard them as human.

That said, I'll most certainly be raptly watching her testify, hoping and praying that she receives even a modicum of what she deserves.

6. If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there does it make a sound?
Except for CSPAN, the MSM has stopped broadcasting the proceedings

This is the same MSM who propagated the lies about Plame
The same MSM who beated the drum for the Iraq war
and the same MSM who got bush elected

How can we expect anything else in 2007 from this Owellian-Pravda Corporate Media?

11. All she'll be able to do is whine.
Maybe she'll cry some crocodile tears. Should be REAL boring. She's too slick and evil to lie outright, but she does a good imitation of a petulant two year old.

13. I wonder if she knows about
the questions asked of Valerie. If not, it would be a pleasure to see that rat face bitch squirm from her lies.
