Removing any doubt about how she sees the world from the left, Valerie Plame Wilson, in an interview Thursday which aired Saturday night on a Washington, DC area cable channel, admired the work of the far-left Media Matters as she revealed she seeks out the group's postings for their “accuracy” and presentation of “the facts.” Carol Joynt (her blog), a former CBS News producer who as the owner of the Nathans of Georgetown restaurant every week interviews a newsmaker in front of a lunch crowd in what becomes the hour-long Q&A Cafe on NewsChannel 8, asked whether she reads “news differently than the rest of us?” Plame Wilson replied:
Having been at the center of this, I'm much more skeptical. I do try to seek other sources of information. I find something like -- there's a blog called Media Matters, I think it's Media Matters, that seeks to sort of accuracy. You know, here's some statements in the Washington Post or the New York Times or made by presidential candidates of both stripes, here's, here are the facts on them. I find that is helpful.
The exchanged on Q&A Cafe run at 6pm Saturday night on NewsChannel 8, an all-news cable channel owned by the same company which owns DC's ABC affiliate:
CAROL JOYNT: Do you read the news reports now and see it, you can't help but see it through the lense of your CIA experience. Do you read news differently than the rest of us?
VALERIE PLAME WILSON: Hmm. Like we touched on before, having been at the center of this, I'm much more skeptical. I do try to seek other sources of information. I find something like -- there's a blog called Media Matters, I think it's Media Matters, that seeks to sort of accuracy. You know, here's some statements in the Washington Post or the New York Times or made by presidential candidates of both stripes, here's, here are the facts on them. I find that is helpful to go-
This, like all episodes of Q&A Cafe, will re-run Sunday night at 11pm on NewsChannel 8.

You lied, you made money in you dumb book, you slandered thePresident and our country. Just go away! I guess you don’t have a speck of pride.
The part I always like is the fact that you act like a victim. Ohh, we were outed.. by the President! Yet I never stop seeing you on TV, the papers, magazines, the internet. I expect to see you pop up out of my washing machine telling me that “President outed me!!!!” You have made millions on this lie! I wish that the President would out me if I could make millions as well as show up every hour on the hour yelling.. “the president outed me” ,now pay me!
GO AWAY!

Why doesn't Mattel develop a doll in Valerie Plame's honor? They could call it "Bureaucrat Barbie"...she's tall, she's blonde and she's a lightweight (meaning they won't have to use lead in the process). They could even pair her with an anatomically correct partner, "Kommunist Ken", suave, debonair, full head of hair and no package. Just a thought.

That statement is disingenuous beyond belief. She acts like she's only vaguely familiar with the website; isn't even sure of the name.
It's probably her homepage.

Parallel Universes
December 9, 2007 - 09:09 ET by Jack BauerActually in quantum physicist Hugh Everett's Parallel Universes theory, Ms Plame exists in many universes.
In fact, in one she actually IS a covert agent of the CIA. Just not our universe.
In another, she's a Republican. Another she's not a fake blonde. Well you get the drift!
What Must Happen????
December 9, 2007 - 09:44 ET by BourbeauTo get Ms. Plame and her double talking sleazy husband to ride off into the sunset with there bag of deceitful tales. Talk about two people who have way overstayed their 15 minutes of fame. Worse yet are the media types that still give them a platform to spew their noxious gasses. Where's Al Gore when you need him to carbon credit these two to oblivion?

December 9, 2007 - 18:39 ET by BlazerWell to me fitz, she bear's a resemblance to a younger Faye Dunaway, only Faye is a much better actress, but Plame did conduct her interview here in a Bar n' Grill.
At any rate someone need's to tell Mrs. Plame that when your giving interview's on public access cable and nobody's buyin' your stupid book it's time to find another day job. Like Sheehan, she aint' the lib's or the media's darlin' anymore.
She act's naive about Media Matter's but she blog's over at Huffpo.
Maybe she could arrange a hug session with Chavez or something, that might get her to sixteen minutes anyway.

a few quick questions
December 9, 2007 - 19:02 ET by candance1) When your fame is so bottomed-out you're doing interviews on cable access, isn't it time to stop?
2) How much is MM paying you to be their spokesman?
3) Do you realize no other news channel will touch you now since you dissed them to sponser MM?

Actually, there's been considerable debate on that point. Compounded by the fact, as pointed out by an NB commenter (RJ, maybe?) that she herself didn't particularly act covert.
She cant' even explain
December 9, 2007 - 20:35 ET by BlazerShe cant' even explain what she did or if in fact she was covert.
I guess if you put some sun glasses on and a headscarf while driving through the suburb's after picking your kid up from daycare in your covertible everyday that makes you dangerously covert.

Rwers, you should look for the traitor(s)
December 10, 2007 - 03:00 ET by professor truthwho forged the Niger uranium documents, helping to lead us to an illegal war based on false premises.
Let's start with the first
December 10, 2007 - 03:06 ET by NL207Let's start with the first falsehood: Your statement that this war is illegal.
Your entire previous argumentation on this subject is based on the precept that the UN is a superior authority to the US Constitution on our soil. i.e., the US Government has in some way surrendered its sovreignty to the UN. This is a false proposition. Our Congress is still empowered to declare war. It declared this war. Therefore the war cannot be illegal.
Anyone who argues the superior legal authority of foreign law over the US Constitution can be construed to be both an enemy of the US Constitution and the people it governs.
the US constitution states all treaties
December 10, 2007 - 03:14 ET by professor truthsigned by the US automatically become a part of US law. So , the UN charter does apply to all countries who sign it.
The hell it does. Show me
December 10, 2007 - 03:23 ET by NL207The hell it does.
Show me where the Constitution says any foreign treaty can abrogate one or more of the Enumerated Powers of Congress. Do that, or concede.
Do that, or concede.

Blazer, you should start accusing military families
December 10, 2007 - 03:11 ET by professor truthof treason as most agree with my views on Iraq. Bush has been a great friend to the Saudi royal family, the country who provides most ofthe money for madrassas and most of the extreme jihadists who kill soldiers. Maybe you should apply the word traitor to those who really aid and comfort the enemy.
Prof, somehow I doubt you
December 10, 2007 - 03:25 ET by BlazerProf, somehow I doubt you break bread with military families anywhere, I do, and I can tell you the bottom line is no matter what their politic's are they support the troop's, and the mission, unlike the Defeatocrat's.
Now we can trade barb's about who's in bed with who, but your assertion that Bush is in bed with the Saud's is ironic considering we were buying oil from them back in the nineties when your beloved Clinton was president too, allowing the seed's of global jihad to be sewn.

I work with several veteran's and have two family member's who have returned and since been re-deployed and back again. They are all totally Hooah and support this country and it's mission and in turn appreciate those that also do.
Now you said most military families dont' agree with the mission and now you claim it's just one student in your no doubt ultra-liberal agenda box you call a classroom.
