Republicans impeached a president for lying about a blowjob, but the revenge-reveal of a CIA NOC working on Iran WMD is OK for this bunch

David Edwards, guestblogging at Bradblog, reports on NBC reporter David Schuster's conversation with Joe Wilson and update on the Valerie Plame outing case:

Shuster attended the White House Correspondent's Dinner. He was able to get a short interview with Joe Wilson. Republican operatives have renewed their baseless claim that Valerie Plame-Wilson's identity was not classified. For her part, Valerie Plame-Wilson stood silently by as her husband rejected the well used right-wing talking point.

More importantly, David Shuster reports that sources have told him how National Security was damaged when Valerie Plame-Wilson's identity was leaked by the White House. His sources say that she worked with gathering intelligence on Weapons of Mass Destruction. The outing of her name specifically damaged the ability to collect intelligence on Iran's nuclear capabilities.


I've transcribed this explosive segment from the Schuster report:

MSNBC has learned new information about the damage caused by the White House leaks. Intelligence sources say Valerie Wilson was part of an operation three years ago tracking the proliferation of nuclear weapons material into Iran. And these sources allege that when Mrs. Wilson's cover was blown, the Administration's ability to track Iran's nuclear ambitions was damaged as well.


So when your wingnut friends tell you that Valerie Wilson was just a desk jockey, or that everyone knew what she was doing, or that she's a whore, or that Joe Wilson is a liar, or any of the other spew that comes out of the right about this case, remind them that while Captain Codpiece has a hard-on to drop nukes on Iran, which he's decided is the key to maintaining Republican control of Congress, it is the Bush Administration that allowed Iran to get to this point, because Karl Rove decided that getting revenge on Joseph Wilson for telling the truth was more important than national security.

Republicans impeached a president for lying under oath about a sexual encounter. Now we have a president who states quite baldly that the laws don't apply to him, who has a chief aide with a security clearance who has blown our ability to obtain intelligence about the nuclear ambitions of a country he says is our greatest threat, who lied to Congress and the American people -- under his oath of office, I might add -- in order to start a war he needed to prove that his dick is bigger than his daddy's, and the Republicans now think this is perfectly OK.

Is there ANYONE in this country who still thinks that elected officials should uphold the U.S. Constitution?
