Valerie Plame’s Lawsuit Dismissed

“WASHINGTON (AP) – A federal judge dismissed former CIA operative Valerie Plame’s lawsuit against members of the Bush administration Thursday, eliminating one of the last courtroom remnants of the leak scandal.

Plame, the wife of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, had accused Vice President Dick Cheney and others of conspiring to leak her identity in Plame said that violated her privacy rights and was illegal retribution for her husband’s criticism of the administration.

U.S. District Judge John D. Bates dismissed the case on jurisdictional grounds and said he would not express an opinion on the constitutional arguments. Bates dismissed the case against all defendants: Cheney, White House political adviser Karl Rove, former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.”

It bothers me somewhat to even give this case space on my blog, and I know that this last parting PIFF from the moonbattery of Wilson and his wife will go on for generations to come in certain peoples minds and in certain places in the deep dark recesses of the media and on the web, but hopefully, outside of the perfunctory Olivery Stone movie, this whole farce is over.

Quote from Hot Air:

“For the reasons given above, plaintiffs have failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted with respect to their four causes of action asserted directly under the Constitution. Furthermore, this Court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction over plaintiffs’ claim for public disclosure of private facts.”

“So the AP has evidently mischaracterized the ruling, and this case is dead, dead, dead.”

Maybe Mr. Stone can give it a good hollywood ending, you know, Bush is impeached for crimes against humanity, Cheney is assasinated by a disgruntled Halliburton employee, and Scooter is given a lobotomy for even daring to try to defend himself from these imbeciles.
And of course, how can we forget the harbingers of truth themselves, the Wilsons?

Hmmm, a good Hollywood ending….
Valerie is ensconced in the White House as Head of the Thought Police in Hillarys Cabinet, and Ol’ Joe himself is made Secretary General of the United Nations….Uhhh, can’t do that, cause Bill Clinton has his eye on the job. Maybe Hill could make “Honest Abe Wilson” head of the “lost and secret files and documents” unit of her in house secret police force.
Nawwww…..
UPDATE: Movie about the Judith Miller part of this story is being cast and written….Ugghhhhh.
“‘Truth’ lures writer-director Lurie
Political drama parallels Plame case
By MICHAEL FLEMINGRod Lurie will next direct his script “Nothing but the Truth,” a drama about a D.C.-based female newspaper reporter who outs a CIA agent and is imprisoned for refusing to reveal her source.
Cast is mobilizing for an October production start. Talks are under way for Kate Beckinsale to play the journalist, Matt Dillon the prosecutor, Vera Farmiga the CIA agent, Edie Falco (in her first role since “The Sopranos”) the editor of the newspaper that published the story and Alan Alda the attorney who tries to free the reporter from jail.
Marc Frydman will produce and the Yari Film Group will finance. Bob Yari bought the spec script after working with Lurie on the Josh Hartnett-Samuel L. Jackson starrer “Resurrecting the Champ,” which the Yari Film Group releases next month.
“Nothing but the Truth” parallels the case of Valerie Plame, whose status as a CIA agent was exposed in the media after her husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson, wrote a New York Times op-ed piece charging the Bush administration with manipulating intelligence to justify the invasion of Iraq.
Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller went to jail to protect her sources, and Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was convicted of perjury, making false statements to federal investigators and obstruction of justice. President Bush commuted his 30-month jail sentence.
Lurie, who tackled D.C. politics with his breakthrough film “The Contender,” aims to start his pic well ahead of a WB project that will be told from the vantage point of Plame and Wilson.
Jez and John Butterworth are already scripting the Warner pic and Akiva Goldsman and Jerry and Janet Zucker are producing.”
I’m starting to feel really nauseated just reading these words…bleeech….

I took six young boys to the Boulder Res today. Each of my three sons invited a friend. It was really fun. And yes, we listened to Weird Al’s Albeuquerque four times in the car.

Mr. Hewitt does have a way with words….

“I have just concluded a 60 minute interview with ABCNews.com’s Jake Tapper, which concluded with Jake promising me that “it is my intention to put up as much of this as possible,” which means the public will have available to it a quite spirited discussion of MSM and its ethics, as well as David Vitter’s troubles, old journalism’s biases, and Mitt Romney and my book.”

“It isn’t journalism they practice, but a sort of high-end yodeling: shouting out cliches which, when echoed back, they take for proof positive of their prejudices. It is all very amusing –until you realize that the lives of millions of Iraqis and eventually millions of Americans areimperiled by their collective incompetence. Walter Duranty was knowing dupe of mass murderers, and this generation of MSM dupes are not knowing at all. But their reckless disregard for the obvious consequences of their one-sided approach to the war and politics will be as infamous as Duranty’s, and the disdain for their “work” just as deep a generation down the road.”

And this:

“Mr. Tapper requested that Hugh, in his position of influence, give MSM the benefit of the doubt in how they are trying to do their job. Perpahs that can begin the moment the same MSM, in their position of influence, begin to give General Petraeus and the troops the same benefit of the doubt by covering the sincerity and intent of their job, and fairly report on the progress and outcome of the surge.”

Once again, Mr. Hewitt is spot on with his analysis of dino media. Go Hugh GO!

PS I’ve mentioned before that one of my favorite sports is watching the slow and painful death of old media. It brings so much joy to my heart, and has provided many laugh out loud moments of fun and revelry at our house. Go read this entry, lately it has been getting tons of traffic….har har

Free Speech and Dietary Supplements: A health freedom speech by Rep. Ron Paul
*Please note this speech was given in 2005, and this bill was recently killed by Nancy Pelosi.

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to introduce the Health Freedom Protection Act. This bill restores the First Amendment rights of consumers to receive truthful information regarding the benefits of foods and dietary supplements by codifying the First Amendment standards used by federal courts to strike down the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) efforts to censor truthful health claims. The Health Freedom Protection Act also stops the Federal Trade Commissions (FTC) from censoring truthful health care claims.

…..Mr. Speaker, if we are serious about putting people in charge of their health care, then shouldn’t we stop federal bureaucrats from preventing Americans from learning about simple ways to improve their health. I therefore call on my colleagues to stand up for good health care and the First Amendment by cosponsoring the Health Freedom Protection Act.”
