Smokin'

Here's the smoking gun indicating that U.S. Vice President Richard B. Cheney is at the center of the CIA covert agent Valerie Plame outing affair, and that he has a good chance of being a subject of investigation by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, who filed it in court yesterday, May 12, 2006.

Thanks and props to the Talking Points Memo Document Collection.

Yes, that is Richard B's handwriting the top margin of the New York Times op-ed by Joseph Wilson that so infuriated the Administration by popping the lid off their keynote State of the Union Presidential Address lie.

This means not only did Cheney know about the treasonous effort to smear Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, the specific idea about how to smear Wilson came from him. Which now implies that he directed the entire scumbag operation.

Does the "B" in Richard B. Cheney stand for "B student"?

Because he's sure doing a heckuva job...
