Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

A sign of things to come in the Plame hearing
Today’s the day that Valerie Plame is testifying before a House committee on her ‘outing’. John Podhoretz is watching the hearing and noted this:
Henry Waxman, who is chairing the hearing into the revelation of Valerie Plame Wilson’s name, just quietly slipped in that “the President” was among the people who leaked her name.
No such thing occured, and Waxman damn well knows it. This is yet another in a long line of Capitol hearings where the focus is not on finding out the truth – but creating your own and looking like a ‘champion of truth’ in front of the cameras.
If you’re interested, the WaPo has a typical puff piece on la Plame, which you can read here. Scott Ott provides some much needed humor in turn.
PM Update I: Some of Powerline’s readers are liveblogging the pLame hearing at PL’s message board. Check it out here. Also, NRO’s Corner is being peppered with comments about the hearing.
PM Update II: Add this whopper from Plame-Wilson to the list of the Wilson lies:
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson testified Friday that it was not her idea for her husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson, to make a trip to Niger to investigate an allegation that Iraq had sought yellowcake uranium.
“I did not suggest him. I did not recommend him. There was no nepotism involved,” she said, adding, “I did not have the authority.”
It was the suggestion of another CIA officer who knew that Joe Wilson had previously gone on other CIA missions “to deal with some other nuclear matters,” she said.
PM Update III: Tom Maguire looks at today’s testimony and finds it sorely lacking – in honesty.
PM Update IV: Victoria Toensing’s testimony from today’s hearing can be read here (Hat tip: K.Lo)

I thought about making this a drinking game. Have a shot every time Waxman or Plame told an obvious lie.
But I’d probably be passed out before Waxman finished his opening statement.
That’s a sure fire recipe for alcohol poisoning, the lies will come so fast and furious that you’d ingest a lethal dose before you had a chance for it to make you drunk enough to pass out.
What’s that saying? “The first casualty of the Democrats is truth”, or something like that.
“Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends.”
As I said before: In the movie version, they gotta get Cameron Diaz to play Plame.
What a travesty! Plame girl is a victim-slut who was widely known by just about every foreign govt to be covert EVEN WHILE SHE WAS COVERT MORE THAN FIVE YEARS BEFORE THE EASY LAY WAS OUTTED!!!
Victoria Toensing, who has been relentlessly debunking this fraud and her husband has so much on this that I refer you to Wikipedia for the details.
Of course, the whoremonger lefties exalt one of their own stable of hussies—off to Santa Fe and begone! The drive-by media are drooling at this spectacle—a show trial of Stalinist proportions.
She’ll be hosting SNL if her and hubby’s career moves work out!!!

Waxman is a known liar. Maybe he ought to resign.
I tried to do a trackback to your post but trackbacks don’t seem to be working. Here’s the link.
G-Monster that is an excellent article. If what she is saying is correct the Libs in the CIA are purposely attempting to make this administration look bad.
Amazing quote:
Between Joe’s stupidity, and the CIA’s incompetence Valerie’s identity is basically collateral damage. Now they think that they can hook this on the administration and not just take responsibility for their own mistakes. Is this not the same CIA that identified the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia as a radio station and had it blown up during the Kosovo war?? It is time to re-organize the CIA. Their incompetance has cost this country far to much. Would we be in this war today if these lib idiots had a clue.
I believe that Ms. Toensing should of written “Sadly it is up to Congress to decide”. This Congress is as incompetent as the idiots in the CIA. It is time to start prosecuting individuals, be they CIA Agent, Congressional Representive or Senator, or Ambassador for their treasonous activities. – Lorica
