There Still Is Good Satire: Joe & Valerie

"The golden couple targeted by White House machine," as described by one British paper, have had to put up with so much. There's no need to dwell on the hardships faced by former ambassador Joseph C.

It may not sell movie tickets, but satire lives at National Review Online. Goldberg's sendup of the plight of Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame is worthy of Evelyn Waugh. You should read it yourself.
