Valerie Plame to Write a Book
As if we did not see this one coming. According to CNN.com, Valerie Plame has signed a low seven figure contract with Crown Publishing Group to write her memoirs. The book is to be called, “Fair Game” after Carl Rove supposedly said she was fair game after her husband, Joe Wilson, released the inaccurate statement saying that Saddam Hussein was not trying to obtain yellow cake uranium from Niger. So now we have yet another book about how Bush lied and people died. If these people could just get their stories straight, they might be a political force. As it is, no one except for the far left believes them.
I will make sure that when my local library buys this book, they put it in the fiction section along with Hillary Clinton’s book. If Plame is anything like her husband, we will not be able to believe anything she says. We were told at first that Vice President Dick Cheney sent Joe Wilson to Niger. When the truth finally came out, we realized that his wife has really sent him on this mission. And in fact Wilson did find evidence of cooperation between Iraq and Niger in spite of his comments to the contrary. The Op-Ed piece in April 6 issue of the Washington Times sums it up the best.
But the fact is that Mr. Wilson has little credibility left, as his charges against the Bush administration were eviscerated by the Senate Intelligence Committee in its July 2004 report on prewar intelligence. Here’s the way Susan Schmidt of The Washington Post (in a story buried on page A9) described the report on July 10, 2004: “Wilson’s assertions — both about what he did in Niger and what the Bush administration did with the information — were undermined yesterday in a bipartisan Senate intelligence committee report. The panel found that Wilson’s report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts.”
So what are we supposed to believe, the Valerie Plame who sent her husband on a fake mission or Valerie Plame the career agent? The bad part is there may not be any difference with neither one being able to tell the truth. Either way, a lot of partisan Democrats and suckers are going to buy, read, and believe everything she says. Buying this book would be a waste of money.
