I saw interviews yesterday and today that really bothered me. Yesterday Katie Couric interviewed Valerie Plame on 60 minutes. She asked "You know, you're a covert CIA agent for X number of years and suddenly, you know, you're in this Greta Garbo pose in your husband's Jaguar," about the Vanity Fair photo of her from January 2004, 6 months after Novak's article.
"Can you understand how people just were turned off by that whole thing? They felt, 'Gee maybe she's enjoying her celebrity a little too much,'" Couric remarks.
"Uh-huh," Plame Wilson admits. "Well, again, you have to ask 'Who are these people and what is their agenda?' 'Why are they asking that?'"
Why is Couric asking this? Oh and with the Plame stuff, will all the people who said she wasn't covert now apologize and admit you were shilling for the right wing nut jobs? No I didn't think so.
Ann Curry interviewed Benazir Bhutto this morning asking "If you had not returned these woman would have their husbands, their children, these 100 people would be alive these, these 500 people would not be injured...It was a very slow moving motorcade surrounded by many people, did you make the right choice to come back in this way?" Um, she didn't set the bomb, terrorists did. When Bhutto says "I find this question very uncomfortable" Curry says something like "Of course you do it's a painful question". No, it's a crazy question.
