P-Lame Affair = Masters Protest?

Karl Rove probably has just six words for the Main Stream Media this morning, "Iron my shirt! Make my dinner!"

This morning it hit me - the same desire to create a story out of whole cloth that drove the New York Times to try and make uber harpy Martha Burk's protest of Augusta National a leading national story is the same madness that is driving the Main Stream Media to try and make a tenuous connection between Karl Rove and the P-Lame Affair (I've decided that this issue needs a hip-hop name because Plamegate would be so - well - so lame).

For a voice of reason on this "affair" - read this article from the Wall Street Journal.

The one thing the article misses is the fact that the general public has absolutely no interest in this issue. London bombings yes. Heroic actions of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan yes. Very low levels of unemployment yes. P-Lame affair no.

This morning it also hit me who the source Judith Miller is protecting actually is. For the longest time I was convinced that her source was non-other than Joseph Wilson (with the reasoning of "follow the money" - Wilson is the only one to make out monetarily in this "affair"). Now I'm convinced that Miller's secret source is actually Heywood Jablome.

Miller probably decided that it was better to go to jail than to admit how she fell for such a sophomoric prank name.

The NCWO protest of the Masters proved to be one of the lamest protests in the history of the US and the interest in the issue (even by the NY Times) fizzled to zero. I have no doubt that the P-Lame affair is destined for the same ending.
