#1 Still, despite her admission, Mitchell blamed partisan "bloggers" for distorting her comments:

Just like Mary Mapes!

#2 So it used to be the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiricy", but now it's "Bloggers"?

#3 but now it's "Bloggers"?

You know how it is with those darn 'bloggers' always fact-checking your ass with those darn 'facts'. How inconvenient! Like Homer Simpson says: Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!

Well, I knew she worked for the CIA before I didn't know she worked for the CIA.

#9 Leaks, aside from my kitchen faucet, what about who was responsible for revealing our black opt prisons in Eastern Europe. Like this Novak crap is so bad. Our blessed soldiers and other risk takers are out there dealing with terrorist filth, interrogating, fighting back like a great nation must. What about the democrat traitors slamming our every effort and belittling the cause of our brave souls in harm's way.

We've been told we're supposed to be glad that was leaked.

#11 "Do we have any idea how widely known it was in Washington that Joe Wilson's wife worked for the CIA?" she was asked by host Alan Murray in an Oct. 3, 2003 interview on CNBC's "Captial Report."

Mitchell replied: "It was widely known among those of us who cover the intelligence community and who were actively engaged in trying to track down who among the foreign service community was the envoy to Niger. So a number of us began to pick up on that."

So, she's saying that her answer applied only to the period after Novak's column ran? In other words, it was "widely known" to the crack reporters "trying to track down" the Niger envoy only after Novak spilled the beans in his nationally-syndicated column?

Boy, howdy, you can't put nothin' past them reporter-types.
