Repeat after me: VALERIE PLAME

The utter hypocrisy of the Rethugs on the oxymoronic (or just plain moronic) House Intelligence Committee leaves me wanting to pound the hell out of a foam replica of the Capitol with a tennis raquet. Leaks that, as a practical matter, did far less to damage national security than they did to embarass the Bush administration, must be prosecuted with vigor, but the Veep and his pissboy Scooter (not to mention Turdblossom) got not even a knuckle rap from these gasbag buffoons for blowing the cover of a CIA operative working on nukes in IRAN, of all places.
