(102,376 posts)It gets her attention, that's for sure. Now that she's done so, she needs to underscore what she intends to do for NM residents (beyond "settling scores" ) but I think it is a great opener.

Vindictive fuckers blew her cover to spite her husband - thus depriving America of a shrewd, hard-working, and internationally well-connected tracker of nuke-minded bad guys.
Thatd be almost as bad as if some greedy, incompetent, lying, self-absorbed, psychopathic schmuck got in bed with the Russians to cheat his way into the White House or something.
Oh, wait...

(530 posts)My husband was fortunate enough to have sat next to Ms. Plame on a flight back to ABQ a few years ago. They spoke the entire flight about the whole mess Bush/Cheney created for her and the whole country. He was so impressed by her. She will make a fabulous senator!

(67 posts)Very impressive ad. But Valerie Plame needs to explain her linkage to "former" CIA man Larry Johnson, who functioned as her spokesman during the scandal. Johnson used his Plame connection to ingratiate himself with the left. He even delivered the Democratic Radio Response to the outing of Plame (which you can still find on YouTube).
Then he revealed his true colors as a far-right asshole. Johnson's now-defunct site No Quarter was, arguably, the birthplace of Birtherism. He invented the Michelle Obama "Whitey" tape smear. He turned against Hillary hard, using his site to spread every possible lie and fabrication about the Clintons. He accused John Kerry of rape. Johnson created the false story that GCHQ (Britain's NSA) wiretapped Trump -- a story which Trump himself endorsed. Currently, Johnson is a big supporter of Michael Flynn and a vehement hater of Jim Comey. In short and in sum, Larry Johnson is Alex Jones without the whimsy.
I want to like Valerie Plame. But she needs to explain her association with a creep like Johnson. That explanation better come fast and it had better be really goddamned convincing.
Otherwise, I am going to retreat to the standard lefty position that there's no such thing as a "former" spook -- and that there's a reason why the word "spy" rhymes with "lie." Johnson proved to be a sheep-dipped rat. How do we know that Plame isn't playing a similar game?
