In the wake of revelations by columnist Robert Novak that NONE of his sources in the Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame CIA/Niger/Uranium case were out to get the Wilsons, Ms. Plame, who left the CIA at age 42 to raise her children, has decided to sue Vice President Cheney, his top aide Scooter Libby and President Bush's chief political advisor Karl Rove for damaging her career.This is the same woman, and her husband that fought for a desperate shadow government effort to undermine President Bush and his Iraq policy while dragging the entire nation and Administration officials through years of pointless legal wrangling over her status at the CIA. Patrick Fitzgerald, the Special Prosecutor in the case found no wrong doing in any discussion of her role by White House officials. The only indictment, of Scooter Libby, was on an unrelated perjury charge, which is clearly a weak case.
There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE, not even a suggestion, hint or suspicion outside the kookie moonbat deranged lefty loonies that any administration offical acted improperly in ANY WAY in this case!
Yet here we are again. The Wilsons demanding a media spotlight to once again spout their anti-Bush, anti-conservative, anti-victory views.
The pileup of anti-Bush media whores continues. One wonders whether Cindy Sheehan will welcome yet another attention seeker in the spotlight?

The Smoking Gun has the filed the lawsuit complaint here. If you're a lawyer, or play one on T.V., or even if you stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night, you'll find this complaint to be legal comedy.
Update 7/14:
Both Plame and Wilson read brief statements at a press conference today to further fan the flames of their self-importance. Valerie Plame accused Bush Administration officials of engaging in a "whispering campaign" to destroy her career. Meanwhile, her husband, who was conducting a loud and very public campaign to undermine the constitutional authority of the elected U.S. government had this to say: "we believe the time has come to hold those who use their official positions to exact personal revenge accountable and responsible for their actions."
At what point do we hold Plame and Wilson accountable for their efforts to overturn the results of an American election and undermine and usurp the constitutional powers of our elected government officials? Will this be another case of where treason is ignored with the hope it just goes away?
