   ....your head going, what the hell???? [1]Here it is. Joe Wilson outed
   Valerie Plame. [2]That's right. The whodunit of the century comes to
   this. WILSON OUTED PLAME. Got that?
   Yeah, I know, hard to believe. Here's the transcript.

     Woodward: ...What's Scowcroft up to?
     Armitage: [ ] Scowcroft is looking into the yellowcake thing.
     Woodward: Oh yeah?
     Armitage: As the PFIAB.
     Woodward: Yeah. What happened there?
     Armitage: They're back together. [coughs] They knew with
     yellowcake, the CIA is not going to be hurt by this one---
     Woodward: I know, that's---
     Armitage: -- Hadley and Bob Joseph know. It's documented. We've got
     our documents on it. We're clean as a [ ] whistle. And George
     personally got it out of the Cincinnati speech of the president.
     Woodward: Oh he did?
     Armitage: Oh yeah.
     Woodward: Oh really?
     Armitage: Yeah.
     Woodward: It was taken out?
     Armitage: Taken out. George said you can't do this.
     Woodward: How come it wasn't taken out of the State of the Union
     then?
     Armitage: Because I think it was overruled by the types down at the
     White House. Condi doesn't like being in the hot spot. But she ---
     Woodward: But it was Joe Wilson who was sent by the agency. I mean
     that's just ---
     Armitage: His wife works in the agency.
     Woodward: --- Why doesn't that come out? Why does ---
     Armitage: Everyone knows it.
     Woodward: ---that have to be a big secret? Everyone knows.
     Armitage: Yeah. And I know [ ] Joe Wilson's been calling everybody.
     He's pissed off because he was designated as a low-level guy, went
     out to look at it. So, he's all pissed off.
     Woodward: But why would they send him?
     Armitage: Because his wife's a [ ] analyst at the agency.
     Woodward: It's still weird.
     Armitage: It---It's perfect. This is what she does, she is a WMD
     analyst out there.
     Woodward: Oh she is.
     Armitage: Yeah.
     Woodward: Oh, I see.
     Armitage: [ ] look at it.
     Woodward: Oh I see. I didn't [ ].
     Armitage: Yeah. See?
     Woodward: Oh, she's the chief WMD?
     Armitage: No she isn't the chief, no.
     Woodward: But high enough up that she can say, "Oh yeah, hubby will
     go."
     Armitage: Yeah, he knows Africa.
     Woodward: Was she out there with him?
     Armitage: No.
     Woodward: When he was ambassador?
     Armitage: Not to my knowledge. I don't know. I don't know if she
     was out there or not. But his wife is in the agency and is a WMD
     analyst. How about that [ ]? (Emphasis mine.)

   Armitage is Richard Armitage, of the State Department -- an opponent
   of the war in Iraq and a foe of the White House.
   This is the story that launched the "Bush lied, people died" meme that
   has dominated the country for four years now.
   Can you see why I might despise liberals?
