Political lawfare goes down in flames
This ought to get the sort of coverage the charges got. They were so busy ignoring the Edward's Scandal they probably didn't have time though, right?
Maybe someone can explain to me why it doesn't and how the media isn't really biased in favor of the Progressive, read Socialist, Left?
Oh, the comments are a whole different subject in and of themselves. Don't read them if you are sensitive to bad language.
Bad day for the left
"A Bad Day for the Left Gets Worse: Plame Suit Dismissed
First, Michael Mukasey says there will be no prosecutions forthcoming in the Justice Department nonscandal, and now comes the delicious news that non-undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame has her bogus lawsuit against Vice President Cheney dismissed.
A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday dismissed former CIA analyst Valerie Plame's lawsuit against Vice President Dick Cheney and several former Bush administration officials for disclosing her identity to the public.
The Court of Appeals in Washington dealt another setback to the former spy, who has said her career was destroyed when officials blew her cover in 2003 to retaliate against her husband, Iraq war critic Joseph Wilson.
Plame's outing led a lengthy criminal investigation, which resulted in the conviction of Cheney's top aide, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, for perjury and obstruction of justice.
President George W. Bush commuted Libby's 2 1/2-year prison sentence last year.
Plame and Wilson sought money damages from Cheney, Libby, former White House aide Karl Rove and former State Department official Richard Armitage for violating their constitutional free speech, due process and privacy rights.
But a three-judge panel of the appeals court upheld a federal judge's ruling that dismissed the couple's lawsuit.
The court ruled Cheney and the others were acting within their official capacity when they revealed Plame's identity to reporters.
Expect another round of fawning interviews with the usual suspects for this annoying media whore and her two-bit fraud husband.
Update: Glenn Reynolds says it's Fitzmas for the rest of us. ..."
