Moonbat Victory...

OpinionJournal - Best of the Web Today

Well, yesterday. "Best Of" has been running a day behind lately, so it's time for them to make a name change to simply Best Of The Web. OR...or actually publish the thing when today means...drumroll please...today. Too hard? Need more than 10 or 15 people working on the thing to get it out in one day?

"...this is an exchange between host Alan Murray and guest Andrea Mitchell on CNBC's now-defunct "Capital Report," Oct. 3, 2003 (transcript not available publicly online):

Murray: Do we have any idea how widely known it was in Washington that Joe Wilson's wife worked for the CIA?

Mitchell: It was widely known among those of us who cover the intelligence community and who were actively engaged in trying to track down who among the foreign service community was the envoy to Niger. So a number of us began to pick up on that. But frankly I wasn't aware of her actual role at the CIA and the fact that she had a covert role involving weapons of mass destruction, not until Bob Novak wrote it.

In fact, Novak did not report that she was covert; Fitzgerald did not allege it; and the factual assertions Joe Wilson makes in his own book, if accurate, prove that she was not. It's further evidence that this "scandal" is about nothing, and that Libby's indictment--even if he turns out to be guilty--is a tragedy."

Makes not a bit of difference, Jimmy. Wilson hates Bush, his wife's name got into it as everyone tried to figure out how such a nobody could have been picked to make trips anywhere other than the corner deli for a Ruben, and the fact that all of DC knew who she was makes not a lick of difference when it comes to moonbats wanting to have their way.

Trying to fight an administration that has both houses of Congress behind it is difficult, so when in doubt maneuver a situation to appear as if there's been some sort of inappropriate goings-on, then luck out with a prosecutor so afraid of being called a Bush-Stooge that he callously smears the name of a man who's only failing was not having the same memory as hundreds of other people put together.


THAT'S the sum total of his "crimes", that's all they'll get, but with a partisan MSM behind them, that's all they could have ever hoped for, so let them have this ridiculous "victory".


Libby will be exonerated, and everyone who knew him to be an honorable man will think nothing less of him for this smear. On the contrary, after his not-guilty verdict they'll have made a hero of someone nobody knew anything about.


Some victory. Are all these clusterfuckers just Frenchmen in disguise?
