What difference does it make if Plame sent Wilson to Niger or not?

[Beaverhausen]

I know she didn't, I know she only told her supervisor of his experience in the area they needed information about but still...even if she had, what would it matter?

why is this even something the repukes care about? How would it impact on the fact that her identity was revealed?

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't get it.

1. None whatsoever

it's just a distraction from the real issue.

2. They tried to make it seem like he was on a partisan mission

when he clearly wasn't.

3. EXACTLY. Classic GOP distraction tactic.

Oh, I despise the GOP cockroaches.

4. Gets people to focus away from what is pertinent.. obfuscation 101 /nt

5. smoke and mirrors, that's all that is. n/t

6. None whatsoever! They're just scrambling to find a conspiracy to distract us from their own!

7. I've always wondered why they snagged onto that piece of info.

It would be like your S/O had expertise in a certain area, so casually you mention this to the boss and he says, gee, do you think he might be interested in doing this for us??? I've always wondered about this too. Repukes have nothing, they're desperate and just snag onto whatever floats by them first.

8. Ok thanks. I thought I was crazy wondering why this was a big deal

which, of course, it isn't.

9. I think the Repubs also believe he was paid handsomely for going on that mission,

but I believe he wasn't paid at all....Republicans can't imagine somebody doing something without being paid, so, since they assume he was paid, they think his being chosen for the Niger trip was nepotism.

10. I Know! Nepotism accusations? From CHENEY???

Cheney's wife, two daughters and son-in-law all have 6 figure salaries paid by us taxpayers.

NEPOTISM????!!!! Discredits Wilson but not Cheney?

They are insane. Truly.
