I’ve greatly appreciated the detailed play-by-play and analysis. Thanks.

One question that might have been discussed somewhere and I missed it is:

Is there any hint that Valerie Plame might have been directly working on evaluating Iraq’s nuclear capability and that part of the aim of the ‘outing’ might have been to remove her from her position, where she would have been in a position to debunk the administration’s claims?

This is just speculation. Has it been addressed or brought up before?

I have long thought the same thing. But one aim does not preclude the other.

Did anyone notice Cheney slipped something in his mouth — during the healthcare portion of the speech?

Nitroglycerin?

Or something else? because shortly thereafter he started all that inappropriate grinning.

i am hoping it was some fast acting LSD
