Just when you thought "Plame-gate" couldn't continue, couldn't possibly become a more byzantine saga, simply had to collapse under the massive weight of its own complexity, President Bush and the House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee (read: Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif.) are still keeping this party going.
I don't mean to say the Plame party should stop (although I stopped tracking it after Scooter walked), or to suggest this particular legislative/executive round is unnecessary or futile. I just want to express my deepest sympathies for the reporters covering this new executive privilege battle; they must know it's only the rarest of all readers who can still get through an entire story about this mess.
