this is tedious beyond measure.
there is abundant information even in this thread to complicated the conservative gloating over their dubious (imaginary?) take on the information in the **still unreleased** david corn michael issikof book--which i bothered to research, and from which i posted information (by david corn) that to say the least complicates the arbitrary cherry-picked infotainment version that has the conservative set running down the street cheering like people celebrating a victory in the 7th inning of a baseball game.
or like a chess player who is so excited to have escaped the opening of a match without being crushed, and imagines that the middle game will unfold differently that he starts wildly celebrating without even thinking about the endgame.
but none of the conservative set can answer basic questions.
none of the conservative set even registers basic questions.
personally, i am took the plame thing as more an index of how the bushpeople operate than the signal event around which all problems turned.
the right seems to imagine this scenario to be reversed.
i assume that they have become accustomed to viewing the world upside-down over the past 6 sorry years.
let us rehearse the problems one last time before we retire from this thread and begin watching the actual game, as opposed the the game the conservative set pretends is in front of them:
1. it is only in conservativeland that the plame affair has been reduced to a very narrow question of motivation.
1a. it is only in conservativeland that this reduction to motivation requires that every last player be explicitly motivated by trying to fuck over a critic of the iraq debacle.
1b. it is only in conservativeland that the personal ambivalence about iraq that richard armitage means that the whole affair has been addressed
you have to have swallowed conservativelands bizarre narrative about the plame affair to find this information about armitage compelling.
even then, the information that the wapo article presents isself-evidently cherrypicked.
the population of conservativeland cannot even start to address any of this.
your narrative has no power, folks: your evidence has no weight because your narrative has no power.
but enjoy yourselves jumping up and down over some imaginary victory in a game that only you are playing (no-one outside of conservativeland accepts your idiotic reduction-to-explicit motive view of this affair).
i am going back to watching the real game.
we'll maybe chat about this and other such stuff in mid november
