Plame/Wilson - The left -

Plame/Wilson - The left - including certain lefty bloggers - have been clinging to hope with the Plame/Wilson story. In their world, this could have been the great equalizer - the one thing that truly signalled "moral equivalence", that would mean the Bush Administration was really no morally better than Clinton was (and that they know, deep in their hearts, Clinton was, assuming they have some sense of right and wrong).

But it's not going to happen.

Sullivan lays out the non-story.

The Daily Kos claims

Novak has had a rocky relationship with this administration, but at the end of the day, he would rather have a Republican in the White House than a Democrat. He is a partisan, and his statement (which remember, doesn't exculpate the administration from wrongdoing) is simply the first salvo of the administration's counterattack.

Perhaps. But for a first salvo, it's one of the "fluke shot that smacks into the enemy commander"-type first salvos.
