Hillary Already Planning To Make Valerie Plame Her CIA Director?
As Valerie Plame does the interview rounds – CBS, NBC, CNN, NPR – someone might miss the far-left, Bush-hating blog interviews. On Firedoglake, the most notable pro-Plame blog, Plame did a typewritten chat with her leftist admirers on Monday. She loved the leftist bloggers at FDL – even had them to her home for dinner — and declared her interviews on CBS and NBC were fair. Her husband, Joe Wilson, popped in to suggest that two people convinced the Wilsons to fight the pernicious far right: Sidney Blumenthal – and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Former Watergate figure John Dean also popped in – to suggest Plame could be Hillary’s CIA Director.
Plame touted how she obsessively read the bloggers during the Libby trial, and “We hosted several FDLers including Jane and Christie and Marcy to our home for dinner during the trial and it was clear to me and Joe that they knew waaay more about the details of the case than we ever will. I am grateful to all of them for their passionate and dedicated efforts to get to the truth.” Later, she compared them to “pamphleteers of the American Revolution.”
Somehow, I suspect the FDLers of 1776 would have considered the American Revolution a “pre-emptive war” foisted on the people by the forces of wealth when the colonists were facing “no serious threat.”
Here’s a few more notes underlining Plame’s loathing for administration officials:
– The part in the book about wishing I could see Karl Rove at the Communion rail (we attended the same church in NW Washington) was what I HOPED could happen, but did not. I got the idea of FAIR GAME from his comment to Chris Matthews about me, and I thought it made an apt book title…
– Let me take the easy part of your question, about Ari Fleisher [sic]. As I write in the book, if Ari had no idea it was a crime -or at a minimum a really bad idea – to give my name – knowing I worked at the CIA, to reporters, then he’s not smart enough to be working at the White House.
My only comment suitable for public consumption on Condi Rice is: have you heard Steve Earl’s [sic] song “Oh, Condi, Condi”? Joe has played it so much that our young song [sic] knows the words and catchy tune:
The lyrics from the leftist singer Steve Earle include, “Skank for me Condi show me what you got / They say you’re too uptight I say you’re not.”
Isn’t it a little odd for someone who wraps themselves in the flag to applaud a singer who tries sympathetically to get inside the mind of anti-American radical Islamists like Johnny Walker Lindh? Or says he’s to the left of Mao?

Plame had better watch what she’s saying about a revolution. She’s on the wrong side if one happens.
