his press passes. It seems to me it's basically that simple. Am I right or wrong? It seems how big a story this ends up being will be determined by who gave him these passes and if the Valery Plame thing gets any bigger. I have not followed this as close as many of you have but thats my basic assessment. Am I right or am I missing something?

1. Hi didn't have a hard pass
but that doesn't make the question any less significant -- if anything, more significant. The White House directly issued soft passes day in and day out for 2 years.

4. They'll probably lay the whole mess on
some poor hapless office worker.

5. You're right about that
because Scottie already paved that road when he had his press conference about this whole thing. The Dems have to keep hammering at the judiciary committee to press for an investigation and the chairman should comply, especially due to the fact that this involves security!

9. Yeah You Can't BOARD A PLANE Doing That...
But you can get into the WH press room with Scotty & GWB getting a pass under one name and having ID with another name??

10. Well, there are still issues of his 'scoops' and credentials
How does a professional male prostitute with a website and w/nothing other than a two day $50 course in propaganda qualify as 'journalist'?

According to his trick sheet, at $200/hr, he was able to put himself through 'journalism' school in 15 min..

What about all the scoops? How'd he get all that inside information?
How did he suddenly become so well connected. This guy pops up more often than Forrest Gump at almost every key event and in concert with administration intentions. It bizzarre.

If GOPUSA/Talon news didn't pay him, how'd he live? Why does he owe so much in back taxes?

Questions, questions...
