I can hear it now, the sound of gears and levers working in the Bush Administration to put a new spin on the CIA agent leak and clear poor Karl Rove.
Bush Administration's new and improved spin: “Rove thought he was disclosing the travel agent who booked the trip for Wilson to check out the allegations Africa was selling yellow cake to Iraq. Yeah. Yeah. That’s the ticket. Rove thought Valerie Plame was a travel agent that dealt with WMD issues, er… ah… you know that’s code talk in the travel agent business… it stands for… ah… Winged Mission Departures. You know what that is? Travel agent code for airline reservations. I didn’t know all that, but I guess Karl Rove, our expert traveler, did. That Karl Rove is so smart. So glad he’s in the White House to help the president with all these travel agent lingos.
“Oh, and all that talk about WMDs in Iraq? Oops, our bad. We thought that they were talking about Weapons of Mass Destruction. Well, good ole Karl Rove put us on the right track now and we all know that they were talking about that travel agent jargon about airline reservations. Boy, don’t we feel stupid.
“Good ole Karl Rove also told us about that yellow cake, too. Glad he straightened us out about that. Apparently, that yellow cake order in 1999 from Niger was really an order for yellow cake, not uranium. Saddam Hussein’s sons were purchasing the beautifully decorated cake to celebrate Saddam’s twenty years as president of Iraq on July 16, 1999. Since we didn’t receive an invite to this party, we had no idea they actually were getting a yellow cake. We really got cake on our faces with this one.”
That would explain a lot. I think I get the picture now.
