The last remnants of "Plame-Gate" have been washed away. Valerie Plame's lawsuit against members of the Bush Administration has been dismissed as of today, representing the final nail in the coffin of the supposed controversy.
U.S. District Judge John Bates rejected the lawsuit in a 41-page ruling today.
from The Washington Post:
...While Bates did not address the constitutional questions, he seemed to side with administration officials who said they were acting within their job duties. Plame had argued that what they did was illegal and outside the scope of their government jobs.
"The alleged means by which defendants chose to rebut Mr. Wilson's comments and attack his credibility may have been highly unsavory, " Bates wrote. "But there can be no serious dispute that the act of rebutting public criticism, such as that levied by Mr. Wilson against the Bush administration's handling of prewar foreign intelligence, by speaking with members of the press is within the scope of defendants' duties as high-level Executive Branch officials."

She's kinda hot.
I wonder why she's with a squid like Joe Wilson?
He must have a big pecker.
He IS a big pecker, after all.
She seems fairly articulate which makes her a little hotter, but in the non political world she's no better than a 7 on a 1-10 scale.
And she's a Democrat, which plunges her down to about a 3 or a 4.
