How will the right wing spin Plame's story on 60 minutes tonight?
When Val Plame tells all that she was working on stopping Iran from
getting nuclear weapon's technology and materials you just know
"they"* will go into full attack mode. But how?

Will it be this old chestnut? "She wasn't really a secret agent."

Or how come the "Democrat Congress" has not investigated this ....
so their must not be anything there.

But my guess is that "they" will go bottom of the barrel and try to link
Plame to anti-American elements inside Iran. "See she is not really on
our side anyway."

The Arlington, VA company that was behind swiftboats, Dan Rather's problem,
Allito's wife having her breakdown, moveon.org v Gen. Petraous, and so on.
That firm "plants" lies in the media for big bucks.

2. "Conservative" logic will be on brilliant display
Edited on Sun Oct-21-07 10:37 AM by BOSSHOG
How could an insignificant desk jockey possibly know anything about Nuclear Weapons and Iran? And she is being interviewed by the communist broadcasting system.

However, I suspect that the brilliant base of the ignorant wing of the grand old party will have to wait until next week to get their talking points.

5. their talking points are being worked on right now.
My guess is it will be to attack the messenger or to try to
create a distraction that is tangential to the story.

Bush goes AWOL = "Did you see what that nasty Dan Rather did?"

7. "It's Joe wilson's fault." On Tweety's morning show.
"He shouldn't have protested the nukes from Niger story." It was shot down by another pundit, who said Bush shouldn't have lied about it in the State of The Union speech, but that was what was said.

8. I take some satisfaction in the fact that "to swiftboat"
has come into the lexicon to mean smearing with shameless lies

CRC must be so proud.

9. They'll drag out the "She was only a desk jockey" meme.
It's as though they change the channel of walk out of the room any time Brewster Jennings is mentioned.

10. Brewster Jennings Inc. is a taboo topic.
The Repugs & their Media Corp Spinners never talk about this covert Op because that gets to the real reason that Cheney ordered the destruction of V. Plame & Brewster Jennings Inc.

11. They'll set up spinterviews with the usual hacks
or come up with some new terra terra terra plot to make 'it' go away.

13. Halliburton operates in Iran despite sanctions
Halliburton operates in Iran despite sanctions - Lisa Myers & the ...

President George W. Bush famously described Iran as one of his "axis of evil" nations and US firms have been banned from doing business there for a decade.
