Protein Wisdom's Way with Words
Local blog wunderkind Protein Wisdom (Jeff Goldstein) pares down the Democrats' (and Joe Wilson's original) talking points about the Plame affaire to the core.
Hmmm. So let me get this straight: Karl Rove sought to retaliate against American patriot Joe Wilson by illegally and unethically “outing” his covert CIA “operative” wife (and to hear Democrats like Harry Reid tell it, AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR NATION’S VERY SECURITY!)—and he did all this by… waiting for both Robert Novak and Matt Cooper to contact him...?
Man. The Force is strong with this one.
If you've ever wondered what reductio ad absurdum is--this is it.
