Plame saga not over yet

Washington Times

Yes, there is a movie (and a book) in the can, but we've apparently not heard the last from Henry Waxman's posse. We can only hope the Code Pink guy, er gal has seen his, excuse me, her, 15 minutes of fame already.

On Monday Byron York reported that Georgia Congressman Lynn Westmoreland, one of only two Republicans who showed up at the hearing, had written a letter to the Chairman asking a few questions about the mysterious CIA staffers Ms. Plame vividly recalled in her made-for-TV testimomy yet had no recollection of during her made-for-Congress Senate Intelligence Committee appearance a few years ago.

But did Waxman accede? Negatory, rubber duck. The liberalist avenger fired off demands on the Senate for more information, specifically about this addendum at the end of the bi-partisan report, which made some assumptions about how Joe really went to Africa. Byron York reported back on Tuesday that Waxman may indeed end up satisfying Westmoreland's request in the process of trying to prove Plame's innocence, that is, if the CIA plays ball.

But wait, that's not all! The Wax Man has now demanded that Condi Rice make an appearance before his court, er, committee and fess up about the fake Niger docs. Weird, we now have Pelosi pretending to be the Secretary of State and Waxman pretending to be Patrick Fitzgerald. Their heads are so deeply embedded in sand they should be nearing the water table any day now.

Add the above to the British hostage situation and the idiotic war funding gamesmanship and it looks like we're heading to showdown city come April. It's all so pointless, but at the same time, all so important.
