John "Doc" Holliday, the tubercular Old West gambler, lived his life with a single determination. That determination was that he was going to die with his boots on, rather than in bed from the disease that was robbing his breath. He didn't get his wish, and is reported to have looked at his bare feet while lying on his death bed and stating, "Isn't this funny?"
I see the same amusing irony in the Democrats and their mad dash to prosecute someone for leaking the name of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson's wife, a CIA employee, to the press. The Democrats are screaming about special prosecutors, felonies, and the undermining of our national security apparatus. Of course, never mind that these are the very same people who were stating in 1998 that the concept of an independent prosecutor had outlived its usefulness, and that these are the very same people who saw nothing wrong with Hillary obtaining the FBI files of political enemies.
The major irony in all this, is that the Democrats have discovered a love for covert operations and the Central Intelligence Agency. The left has spent the better part of the last 30 years trying to abolish the CIA and do away with covert operations. The Church Commission, named for Senator Frank Church, went out of its way to nitpick every operation conducted by the Agency; EVEN DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE COLD WAR.
Even more recently, you can find papers that have been written by leftist think tanks and liberal academics that decry covert operations as being unseemly for a democracy. Democrats are noted for their operation to covert operations. Some, during the Reagan Administration, went as far as to imply that the CIA was more dangerous than the Communists. The left was appalled, when in a similar case, President Reagan prosecuted Samuel Morrison for leaking photographs to Jane's Defense Weekly.
Yet, now, when there is political advantage to be gained, the Democrats have become the party of the sanctity of covert operations. The Democrats are concerned about the damage this incident will have on national security. They have become the number one defenders of the intelligence community.
If there is an honest Democrat out there, he or she should look down at his or her toes and say "Isn't this funny?"

Lone, you're right on target as usual. The dems will say or repeat anything to gain or retain power, as always. If they sense that "the Prince of Darkness" could help them they would sell their souls.

Steve, once again, not only are your anecdotes completely true to life but an enjoyment to read as well. Keep up the great work!
these are the very same people who saw nothing wrong with Hillary obtaining the FBI files of political enemies
Thanks for the excellent post about the Dems records pertaining to the security of this country. I copied one of your statements pertaining to Hillary and her past journeys into the unblievable world of cover-ups.
To answer your question pertaining to the last statement of your post, I do believe that there are a "few" conservative Democrats out there.
Blessings,

LONELAWYER , FOX TV JUST SHOWED A PICTURE OF WILSON AND HIS WIFE AT THE WHITE HOUSE ,SMILING AND SHAKING "BUBBA CLINTONS HAND AT A SPECIAL EVENT . IF THIS IS NOT A "DIRTY TRICK"AND AGENDA DRIVEN , DUCK'S DON'T LIKE WATER AND GO QUACK, QUACK !

Lone, very well said. I think the reason we saw this thing explode in the media is because Democrats suddenly decided that this issue could be used for political advantage. As it is turning out, we find that Valerie Plame wasn't a CIA spy at all. She was an analyst who sat in an office going over paper work and intelligence briefings.
This is funny..Not Ha ha, funny, but weird, funny. Suddenly they want a somebody they have no idea who, to pay for outing this woman..In my heart of hearts, I believe Mr Wilson himself did it..Don't ask why, just a hunch..but sometimes watch him on TV...My brain screams LIAR....And he is asking who will play his wife in the TV movie..Democrats needed him, because they were running out of villians on the right..Now they have it....Shallow Throat.....
