How does the former President Bush feel about the Valerie Plame imbroglio?
As the former spook-in-chief, he was understood to be very sensitive to the security and HR needs of his subordinates over there. On the George Washington Memorial Parkway, there's an exit to the GHWBush Center for Intelligence. The irony there is too thick to spread, but hey- A George Bush Center for Intelligence might look like the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA. They have tours for kids.
I want to hear from our former President about why his son makes kissy face with the Saudi Prince. Did he ever come down to the basement and catch George and his buddy Rove practicing their kissy faces together, in case a real girl would ever give..
It's hard not to write plain nasty things about them. But I heard from Colin Powell, he went on the Daily Show, clenched his teeth and smiled the impossible smile, reviewed the GOP talking points and tried to dodge the absolute shame he helped Bush bring upon our country.
Now I want to hear from the wimp.

Joe, we shouldn't forget that George H. W. was just as kissy face with the Saudi Royals. It was through Bush 41 and the much-younger Bush 43, in the early 1970's, that certain friends of the Saudi Royals, and eventually a number of Royals themselves, came to own property, make substantial investments, and gain political influence in the US government.
Craig Unger has documented all this very thoroughly in House of Bush, House of Saud and other books.
There's no reason for George Sr. to take George Jr to task for any Saudi ass-kissing or hand-holding. It's part and parcel of being a Bush.
Outing a non-official cover intelligence agent working for a front-company on nuclear proliferation issues, on the other hand, is something that should offend Mr. H W deeply as a former DCI. But still, such dirty tricks are also part and parcel of being a Bush. Bush blood is thicker than Company blood.
