Plame Game in Flames; or, Never Mind...

Luther reported here on the Washington Post's unusual editorial about-face on the rapidly fizzling Plame-gate non-controversy so beloved of Amerikkka's non-patriotic leftists. Well, leave it to America's REAL paper, the Washington Times, to give the full, sordid history of this scandalous smear campaign. The opening grafs provide a nice summary:

The expectation on the left that the Valerie Plame affair would blossom into another Watergate, bringing down a second Republican presidency, has fizzled.

Liberals expected that convictions of one or more persons in the Bush administration for leaking or confirming to columnist Robert Novak that Mrs. Plame, the wife of Bush critic Joseph C. Wilson IV, was an undercover CIA operative. Echoing Mr. Wilson's claims, prominent liberals and leftists, most of them in the press, accused the White House of orchestrating a smear, and sought to drive Karl Rove either out of office or into prison, or both.

Three years on, none of that has happened, and the "scandal" is played out.

For those wanting a dense, detailed recap of this "scandal," this article, by Rowan Scarborough, will do the trick. Yep, there was a "scandal," all right. A scandal involving the MSM, the Democratic Party, and the vile leftwing blogosphere (along with the usual suspects, like Howard "The Duck" Dean) in an attempt to bring down a sitting, duly elected Republican president. Already drunk with re-living the glory days of the Vietnam debacle, whose embarrassing and tragic ending they did much to bring about, the American left thought they'd manufacture another dubious triumph by toppling Chimpy BushMcHitler and his evil crew, just the way they torpedoed Nixxon. Too bad it didn't work. (But they're still working on trying to get us defeated in the Middle East.)

These people like to brag about their "patriotism." But they never tell you where this "patriotism" is directed. But we will. Like their Marxist forbears, their "patriotism" is not directed toward their own country, but toward some vague world order that will supplant Amerikkka and the Republicans and bring about (somehow) world peace and justice. (And publicly-funded dachas for the Marxists.) Too bad these clowns forgot about the Islamofascists just around the corner who have pretty much the same idea, except that it involves a lot more beheadings.

Isn't it funny? Now that Plame-gate has turned out to be a non-event, we are already hearing orchestrated calls from lefty Dems for the firing of Rummy as Secretary of Defense. And over-eager Dems in the House are already assembling a committee to impeach President Bush the moment they win control of the House. That's today's Democratic left. Serial political terrorists, always ready with another manufactured smear campaign to roll out the moment the current one collapses. Always full of themselves, as usual, or perhaps full of something else.

The terrorists might as well take a holiday. Their leftist stooges in the West continue to do their work for them. Blissfully unaware that their godless, infidel heads are the next ones on the chopping block.
