Damn Those Internets!
Speaking of asses and how they get owned, check out this post at Say Anything on the disposal of Joe and Valerie’s latest crap. Quoting the Associated Press (via The Smoking Gun —and with my emphasis):
AUGUST 25–A federal judge yesterday turned down a request from former CIA agent Valerie Plame and her husband that the couple’s address be kept secret in court filings in her lawsuit against Bush administration officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney. In an August 11 motion, Plame and Joseph Wilson argued that their privacy would be jeopardized if their Washington, D.C. residential address was included in court pleadings. But that request was rejected by Judge John Bates, who noted in an order filed yesterday that, “in less than thirty minutes, the Court was able to ascertain plaintiffs’s residential address from multiples publicly available sources, including a database of federal government records.” Bates added that the couple’s lawyer, Christopher Wolf, has been quoted in one newspaper saying that he is Plame and Wilson’s next-door neighbor, “and the residential address of that attorney is readily ascertainable.”
The Wilsons are just pathetic. But at least Bates was able to restore some of that honesty!
But, to continue with Say Anything:
Both of these two have acting been like first class media whores for several years now. Wilson is a proven liar of epic, self-serving proportion. Valerie may have had some modest intelligence skills years ago, but over the past 5 years has shown herself to be about as capable as Inspector Clouseau. Their infamous lawsuit was filed, with great fanfare, earlier this summer, and these two are only now figuring out that they might be better off if everyone and his grandmother couldn’t look them up at the click of a mouse?
Ha, ha, ha!
