Friday, Dec. no Jan no July 14, 2006 | Word UP This Week's Theme Music is at >> http://planetwaves.fm Late into the morning Friday, word on the street is that Valerie Plame has sued Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby, Karl Rove and a bunch of other hacks. For -- conspiracy to destroy her career as a CIA agent, out of revenge; she lists fraudulent concealment as one of the causes of action: that is to say, she's sued them, including the almighty Vice President, for fraud. Incredible enough and super fun drama in Conspiracy Theatre, even if you're not a news junkie. Yet in the same moment, Robert Novak, Journalist Zero, has fingered Monsieur Karl Rove as a leaker of Plame's identity. It is true that all hell is popping in the Middle East as Israel kicks the shit out of Lebanon beyond any sense of reason or appropriateness; that Fitz may need Calis; and that the end is near; but we can certainly observe a micro-moment of glee for their scammy little scam falling apart, and for a dramatic lawsuit being filed by the glam, legendary spy wife of the playboy ambassador. The astrology has promised more -- but we are beginning to see The Revenge of the Aries Point. Houselights dim, turn off your cell phone please. PS, this just in, courtesy of the Brad Blog via resident hardcore news rehab/mouse replacement candidate Eileen. We need to remember that civil lawsuits take time and don't always work, but in the United States, they have a lower standard of proof than criminal prosecution (preponderance of the evidence rather than beyond a shadow of a doubt), and they have the excellent quality of producing truckloads of documents that always find their way into the newspapers. Right now we don't need our whole system to function. We just really need any one or more parts to work, so that at least we can get the sausage factory moving.
