This is an exchange between Andrea Mitchell and Don Imus. If a drunkard
has-been like Imus can fluster Mitchell this badly, it will be comical
watching Libby's attorney turn people like her into mincemeat on the
witness stand.


The flip side, Cheney, in all probability, will also have to testify. Oh,
Mitchell has been taken out of context. Her complete quote:

" It was widely known among those of us..."


"It"? What is "it"? You need to post the question posed to her in order to
know what "it" was:

MURRAY: "Do we have any idea how widely known *IT* was in Washington that
Joe Wilson's wife worked for the CIA?"

So "it" was referring to the following:

The fact "that Joe Wilson's wife worked for the CIA"!

So taken *in context*, it means a lot more than what she's now trying to
spin it to mean.

"But frankly, I wasn't aware of her actual role
at the CIA and the fact that she had a covert role involving weapons of
mass destruction, not until Bob Novak wrote it."


So Mitchell didn't:
a) know her (Plame's) role at the CIA (not that she didn't know her identity
nor that she worked at the CIA)
and
b) didn't know she had a role involving WMD (once again, not that she didn't
know who Plame was, and who it was that sent Joe Wilson).


Mitchell is now stuck defending Tim Russert's perjurious testimony in the
journalist-friendly press (and failing miserably I might add). Wait until
she's forced to defend it on the witness stand.
