Wikipedia paints a different picture of the Plame affair.

Thanks, but as I'm UK based I'm happy to back out of this thread happy to bask in my ignorance in this case.

She also claims that Libby outed her to the media as a CIA operative, which we know is untrue, because it was Richard Armitrage.

I don't know what you are on about but I followed this case closely and you are simply wrong.

 

[Foolmewunz]

She seems like an "interesting" character from the little I've read here. Sounds like one of those grifters TBD used to talk about.

If you believe a totally credible "reporter" like Quin Hillyer, who is on the editorial board of that noted balanced journal American Spectator, writes for the totally biased Washington Examiner and that pillar of journalistic integrity, the Washington Times.

The hint would be when you're citing TBD who thinks that anyone left of Robert Welch is a grifter.

Seriously? If that was a male candidate would you honestly have the same comment?

You boys might want to reconsider your reactions. Just sayin'.

Um yes. I don't think a vendetta is a great platform for any candidate.

I don't know what you are on about but I followed this case closely and you are simply wrong.

Sure I am:

Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage said yesterday that he believes he was the initial source for a 2003 newspaper column by Robert D. Novak that disclosed the CIA's previously secret employment of Valerie Plame, the wife of a prominent critic of the U.S. war in Iraq.

Note this as well:

The confirmation of Armitage's role has provoked criticism of both him and the special counsel, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, who learned of it shortly after his appointment in 2003. Some have questioned why Armitage waited so long to speak up about it, and why Fitzgerald spent two years appearing to chase a question that had already been answered.

Well, duuuuh! Yeah, that registered but then I completely forgot it.

She says it in the ad.

 

[bruto]

Is there a reason you felt the need to compare those two unrelated ads?

Of course in a way no two such ads are related, but this thread is, at the start, about Plame's ad itself, and its merit as an ad. They are both good ads, differing in approach, but both of committed and interesting Democratic women calling their opponents to account.

Interesting that they put both CNN and MSNBC in the Left Bias category.

Just a jumble of names to me. I said I was out so don't waste your time.

 

[Trebuchet]

Has anyone else seen this ad and, if so, did you get as big a kick out of it as I did?

If you can't watch it, it's a one-minute campaign ad shot like a trailer for a action movie, with voice-over to match.

Awesome!

She claims Trump pardoned Scooter Libby.

Entertaining, but not as good as MJ Hegar's ad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi6v4CYNSIQ

Not just claimed, he actually did.

Bush was forced to commute Scooter's sentence because, I think, Scooter decided he wasn't going to prison and would have spilled the beans on Cheney, who'd have been impeached. Trump was under no such duress.

Enjoy your basking.

And justice differs from a vendetta, how?

 

[Brainster]

Awesome!

Spill what beans?

Wrong forum.

You don't get away that easily. Fifteen yards and loss of down!

 

[Lurch]

Could be fine, if tens of millions of voters themselves feel they have a score to settle with the putrid sack of rotting yams stinking up the WH.

Personally I'd vote for her just based on her driving skills.

Was it actually her skills? From the way it was shot, it looks to me like it could have been a stunt double. And she never actually says it’s her driving.

Well the truth is I’d vote for her based on her skills of emerging from a car looking cool. But I didn’t want to say that because it would make me look like an idiot.
