You should know better. The 'proposal' would apply only to 'talk radio', the rest would be exempt.
That would just make them the next target, depending on how many people they thought were listening.
You can't really count the fact that Plame said she didn't have the authority to do it herself and that it was Cheney because, she is his wife and likely to defend him. It really is a side issue since rebutting his statement about the yellow cake wouldn't have needed the outing of Plame. It was just easier to shhot the messanger than dispute the message.

That was my original point. Wilson wasn't working for his wife. He relied upon his own contacts and research to gather his information. If Cheney's office or the CIA picked him because they knew of his background, that was based upon his decades of work for the State Department in the Middle East and Africa. Its likely that he had more experience in the area than Plame did anyway. There's no evidence that she provided any information to support his findings.

I definitely heard Joe Wilson claim on Hardball (MSNBC-Chris Matthews) say he initially declined to go since it was his considered opinion the Embassy in Niger was competent and could undertake the finding. If that is true, and I have no reason to doubt that it is true, it drives a stake right through the heart of the who-sent-whom argument. For if Mr. Wilson wanted to concoct this mess, he would (should?) have jumped at the chance to go....
Obviously, that fails the sniff test. I believe the system just rolled over Joe and his wife (along with most of our personal privacy guarantees a la the "Patriot Act"). Isn't the first time....

No,the leftist Mainstream media would cease their political commentary except in the general slant of their reporting,still getting out their side of any story,but the conservative side would get shut down. The so-called "Fairness Doctrine" is anything but "fair". Currently,the leftist viewpoint gets plenty of exposure in the MSM,TV and print media(>70% DemocRAT),but they could not compete in talk radio. So,they decide to bring back the "Fairness Doctrine" to stifle the conservative dominated talk radio.It doesn't matter that the TV and print media are dominated by leftist viewpoints.

Well yes but have you considered the fact that Wilson is known to be, now was, a republican. He wasn't a neocon insider but certainly was a republican.
Heh and heh. The robber barons who run media are NOT predominantly Lefties. Corporate media hasn't been "mainstream" for over a decade. The word "pandering" comes to mind.
Certainly not when implemented by for-profit entities.
The word "dominated" seems like a self-evident call for "fairness". If your idea of "fairness" is an hour of Lefties followed by an hour of Righties, you have COMPLETELY missed the point.
What a moron. General Electric, Rupert Murdock, Disney, and Viacom are NOT a bunch of Left-Wingers.
The answer to *wrong-headed* speech is MORE speech. Write your letter to the editor; if it is that poignant, it will get published. (Your current fare wouldn't qualify on a *quality* basis.)
Some points made there that I noted:
I think I said enough from that article for anyone to want to read it! Plenty of other stuff was said there in all fairness!

My reading comprehension must be seriously damaged, could you point out where in the article that it was implied, or stated, that she set up the whole scenario herself?
All I saw was the judges ruling that it was normal for persons in high political office to discuss such things with the press, and that the case was out of the court's jurisdiction.

Ah, Jim's just playing the Plame Game again...
Cheers! Rich
There's no evidence it that article that Plame had anything to do with Wilson's investigation, conclusions and subsequent article.
Another article (posted elsewhere in this thread) indicates that she did nothing more than suggest her husband to CIA officials as a possible consultant in their investigation.
Not everything is a conspiracy to undermine the administration's credibility. Jim. Often they do a pretty good job of it themselves.

Your supreme status as a close-minded leftist-weenie is duly noted. You have been entered into the contest for deepest head in the sand ;-)
