A must read. Has BushCo lost the media?
Maybe Tiny Tim Russert realized that WWIII = No more Buffalo Bills!

Tim said that he believes that the two people who compromised Plame's status as a CIA operative were were Scooter Libby (Cheney's chief of staff) and Elliott Abrams () -- who may have used others to spread the word around and conceal their criminal actions (read: treason). Wilson said there are others involved -- and they are traitors.
Tim, who sounded as if he was practically reciting a Certified Official White House Talking Point, said Administration officials say he has a political agenda, then played the famous sound bite about Karl Röve being frog marched out of the White House in handcuffs as if to underscore the cheap shot -- ahem, point. Wilson's reply flung the cheap shot right back in Tim's bloated face: while Time talked about "partisan" issues, he said, he held his country accountable for deceptions -- he did not put those 16 words in the SOTU -- and had Bush, Cheney and Rice heeded his memos, the words would not be in the SOTU. Checks and balances are supposed to guarantee that government officials are accountable and grant the press access. What has been done to him is criminal and un-American. Whether or not anyone can be or is convicted is beside the point, though -- just the fact that there is an investigation is proof that the national security has been compromised. 700 are dead in a war that one GOPer told Wilson is a "strategic catastrophe."
(It was at this point that we noticed Tim didn't have the ill-concealed peeved appearance he usually tries to hide when a guest jumps down his throat -- if it were a year ago, we would have expected it. Tim actually looked a little empathetic.
Has the White House lost Russert on the Plame Boondoggle? We think so.)
